Nikon Coolpix 3100 Review

Nikon introduced the Coolpix 3100 (three megapixel) and
Coolpix 2100 (two megapixel) digital cameras. Although both models are
based around the same body, operation and control setup there are some
subtle differences. They have different lenses, different LCD displays
and different movie clip maximum lengths. These cameras are Nikon's newest
entry level offerings and compete directly with cameras such as Canon's
PowerShot A60 and A70 (also two and three megapixel). The design of the
Coolpix 3100 is compact, lightweight and easy to use. All controls are
easy to understand with simple labelling and large buttons. Storage is
via a Compact Flash Type I slot and the camera is powered by two AA batteries.

Chris and Jordan are out of the office this week, so we're taking a trip in the wayback machine to feature a classic episode of DPRTV: a review of the EOS R, Canon's first full-frame mirrorless camera.
The new Panasonic Leica 9mm F1.7 sure is tiny and cute, but is it a good choice for Micro Four Thirds users? Our team at DPReview TV has the answers.
It says Olympus on the front, but the OM System OM-1 is about the future, not the past. It may still produce 20MP files, but a quad-pixel AF Stacked CMOS sensor, 50 fps shooting with full AF and genuine, IP rated, weather sealing show OM Digital Solutions' ambition. See what we thought.
Is the GH6 the best hybrid camera there is? Jordan has been shooting DPReview TV with the Panasonic GH6 for months, so he has plenty of experience to back up his strong opinions.
