Nikon D3100: A good choice for any photographer

For those wishing to try out DSLR cameras for the first time or are attracted to its eye-catchy and appealing design, the Nikon D3100 is clearly a better choice. DSLR cameras are Digital Sing-Lens Reflex Cameras that made a great debut in the market several years ago, and have never ceased to amaze even newcomers. They combine the Single-Lens Reflex (SLR) camera with a digital camera back producing a very strong, enticing and user-friendly camera. It is this marriage of the SLR camera with its digital counterpart that not only provides the main difference between these cameras and digital cameras, but also gives it the unique performance that most photographers are attracted to every season.
Apart from making a reputable name as an entry-level or beginner DSLR camera, the Nikon D3100 is truly an asset that any serious photographer should have it his or her collection. It's performance compared to its immediate predecessor is very commendable. With a 14.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor and a 1080P HD video at 24fps (H.264), this camera is definitely capable of capturing very brilliant photos as well as spectacular videos for normal use. At a price that is just right for the pocket, this is a true must-have even for a professional photographer who from time to time needs to brush up on their photography or video-shooting skills.
The veterans in the field of photography will agree with me that the Nikon group of digital cameras have earned a great name as arguably the best performing cameras in low light conditions. Apart from its full HD video capture capabilities, the Nikon D3100 camera also offers basic image editing right in the camera without having to mess around with external video or photo-editing software. One major advantage of the DSLR cameras over point-and-shoot cameras is the versatility or the wide choice of lenses that can be used or customised to capture photos and videos in a specific way. The Nikon D3100 is no exception in providing this advantage to its users while also maintaining its attractive ergonomic features.
The Nikon D3100 also comes with a lens kit increasing the variety of options to choose from while attempting to capture the best shot in your photography or video-shooting sprees. It is important to note however, that while it is compatible with other Nikon lenses, it will only auto focus with AFS compatible lenses. Auto Focus Silent Wave (AFS) is a type of focusing motor used in a number of AF Nikon lenses, and the AFS motor is known to be very fast and quiet. These lenses are not only a state-of-the-art invention, but also famed worldwide for delivering more quality than they promise. The Nikon D3100's fast 11-point auto focus system coupled with split-second shutter response truly eliminate the frustration of shutter delay as well as capturing those moments that other cameras usually miss.
Its compact and lightweight design enables it to enjoy more popularity especially amongst armatures in the field, and new-entrants who are looking not only for quality and design but also for increased portability in their gadgets. However, due to its small and compact body, the Nikon D3100's viewfinder is relatively quite small, and might need to be improved in the future models. It is true that its high quality photos, image sharpness, amazing video-recording capability and its easily-navigable guide mode makes it stand out amongst the rest. It is crystal clear that if you are a hobbyist, a lens-professional photographer, or a photographer searching for the best DSLR camera with a tight budget, then the Nikon D3100 is obviously the best choice for you.

Photographic Trick That Makes Child Abuse Hotline Ad Soemthing Special!

NAAR, a Spanish organization that helps children and adolescents who are victims of abuse, has established a commercial with two faces. One can be seen by adults (a normal child's head) and the other visible only by children under 10 years or measuring less than 1m34 (they are shown a picture in which we see the face of a battered child). The message for adults is: "Sometimes the abuse of children is seen that the abused child himself." And the children, "If someone hurts you, phone us and we will help you." An advertising genius who certainly deserves!

“Silvermont” -New architecture dedicated to Atom Processors!

Intel has just lifted the veil on Silvermont, which a new architecture is dedicated to the Atom processors that will be used on chips engraved in 22 nm. But we learn very little and no details are given on the graphic part of the beast. As expected, Intel continues to announce new products in the field of low consumption chips that are the Atom. But in this field, efforts remain to be done in terms of performance and consumption. Silvermont was thought in this direction and this generation SoC receive a fine engraving by 22 nm, which remains one of Intel's benefits. They will be at the heart of the Bay Trail chips (Merrifield platform), which are expected for the last quarter of the year and should be an opportunity to see the emergence of new products, including tablets and hybrids running Android or Windows 8.1, but it seems planned to integrate as in desktop PCs.

For the moment, the company did not mention in detail the new architecture or few details that we already knew. The execution of instructions will be so "out-of-order", the CPU can rearrange to maximize its efficiency. Management 64-bit, virtualization, security features (Secure Key) and other instruction sets are part of, as finer management energy via new "C-states" and Burst 2.0 is a specific version of the Turbo Atom. In addition, up to four modules of two cores can be integrated. In the end, we are promised performance multiplied by three or five times less than at present consumption. We cannot wait to check these numbers in practice as it sounds optimistic.

 The side of the graphics chip, nothing officially filtered to the time or the level of performance hoped, either in its composition. At last, there was talk of an Intel IGP capable of handling HD video streams in encoding as well as decoding. But we should know more in the coming days. Anyway, the mobile market is not the sole target of Silvermont since the NAS should also take advantage of this new architecture with dedicated SoC, like Atom Avoton to replace the S1200 that are currently available.

App Store Nearing 50 billionth Downloads!

The person who downloads 50 billionth app will receive an Apple voucher for 10,000 dollars. Despite competition from increasingly aggressive, the Apple App Store does not slow down the pace of its sales. Having passed the 25 billion apps downloaded in March 2012, the platform is now preparing to exceed $ 50 billion. In a little over a year, the number of downloads have doubled, driven by the success of the iPhone and iPad on the planet. The user or the mobile user who downloads the 50 billionth app (which will happen in the next few days) will receive a voucher worth 10,000 dollars to spend on the platform. The unlucky 50 arriving after still receive a consolation prize with a voucher for $ 500 each. The question is whether Apple will be more generous in the App Store will surpass the incredible milestone of 100 billion applications downloaded. This should not take much time.

US Defense Approved BlackBerry 10 and Samsung Knox!

The U.S. Department of Defense has approved the use of the new BlackBerry 10 and also Samsung Android devices compatible with Smartphones. BlackBerry and Samsung are in turning confirmed the adoption of them by the U.S. Department of Defense mobile solutions. For the Canadian firm, this blank check for the Z10 Smartphones, Q10 and the PlayBook tablet that work with BlackBerry Enterprise Service cloud platform 10. Samsung for its part announced that all its smartphones and tablets compatible with its security solution Knox Android have passed the tests of the Agency for Defence Information (DISA) systems. A first for Android devices emphasizes the Korean giant. For the moment, only the Galaxy S4 works with Knox. Samsung intends to capitalize on this success to break into other markets in the areas of finance and health. Last week, the Wall Street Journal also referred to the approval of Apple iPhone and iPad but this information has not yet been formalized.
