Amazon.com Product Description

The Nikon Coolpix 3100 is a great choice for digital photography beginners, offering a compact size, 3.2-megapixel resolution, 3x optical zoom, and a bevy of automated scene controls that are customizeable.

One of the most impressive features of the Nikon 3100 is its size. From the online pictures we originally viewed, we imagined it to be large and a bit clunky. And while itÕs a bit chunkier than other sleeker cameras, the 3100 is surprisingly small. Plus, the rounded ergonomic hand grip rested comfortably and securely in our hand.

The Nikon 3100 offers a whopping 14 scene modes that automatically set the cameraÕs white balance, exposure, and focusing point for different situations. The easy-to-learn software system features large icons and text to guide you through your choices. And some of the modes even provide an "assist" feature, with outlines of figures or landscapes to help line up the shot.

We had fun playing around with the scene modes and snapping pictures that made the most out of the shooting environment. However, we felt we lost some spontaneity if we relied too much on switching through the modes.

The 3.2-megapixel CCD sensor captures bright images that can be printed up to 11 x 14 inches. The movie mode captures smooth video up to 640 x 480 pixels for 20 seconds (or a more jaggy 40-second, 320 x 240-pixel videos), but it doesnÕt offer any sound.

The Nikon 3100 is an affordable choice for a point-and-shoot camera that offers sharp, bright images and brings a lot of flexibility to the party. It comes with a starter 16 MB memory card and alkaline batteries, and we recommend a higher-capacity Compactflash card and rechargeable AA-size NiMH batteries. --Agen G.N. Schmitz

Pros:

Compact size, comfortable in the hand
Customizeable scene modes
3.2-megapixel resolution for prints up to 11 x 14 inches

Cons:

Scene modes can be a bit too customizeable, and distract you from the shot

Junk -- not up to Nikon remanufacturing or Amazon (customer service) standards -- get the 4600 new instead.......2006-01-07

While my past experience is that Nikon reconditioned/remanufactured products are impeccable and great values (I have a 2500 and love it), this camera is to be AVOIDED. I originally bought this for a friend, as I had alot of the necessary compactflash-related accessories that the camera uses.

The issue is that, while Nikon represents the camera to be "like new" after its inspection, the one I ordered was missing the metal bar that holds the included carrying strap....sounds like a petty detail but if you think about it -- especially with such a delicate and mobile piece of electronics -- a secure carrying strap is essential. (I mean, it aint like a toaster is going on vacation with you.) Adding to insult -- so far -- is that Amazon arbitrarily decided to issue a partial refund (perhaps recouping its shipping and return-shipping costs???) despite this issue being clearly noted and the return being well within the return time-period guidelines; in the past Amazon customer service has been excellent, so hopefully this issue will be resolved.

Even if this item does become available again, AVOID it because, unlike usual Nikon remanufactured quality, this item cannot be trusted (and then you may have to go through the same refund hassle that I'm going through). My friend ended up instead ordering the Nikon 4600 brand-new from Amazon (only $20 more now was only $10 more at the holidays vs. this camera's price) -- and loves it. So a good ending as far as the friend and his gift camera and a (so far) bad ending as far as my good-faith return of an obviously defective camera.

Camera stopped working after 1 day: save your time and money.......2005-11-04

A Nikon 3 megapixel camera for $129? Too good to be true? You bet. The camera worked fine for a day, but then started to turning off intermittently. It refused to take photos and would not play back images. It also eats through batteries. I'm currently returning it via Amazon's excellent 30 day return policy.

Battery and battery box issue.......2005-10-25

I bought two of this camera. I like it although there are issues.

I bought one 2 years ago. But recently, the lid for the battery box broke down. There is a small plastic parts which hold the lid when it is closed and that part is broken. I did some internet search and I see a couple of other people who have the same issue. So this part may be a weak point of this camera. I got estimate for repair and I was told it will cost $30 for parts and $75 for labor. We have to replace all front part of the camera.

Then I decided to buy another one of this because I do not want to waiste the memory card and rechargeabel batteries (and I also liked this camera). For that, Amazon's refurbished one gives a reasonable price. But somehow it comes with just two alkaline battery, which cannot be used with this camera. According to the accessory list, a Li battery should be supplied. I tried the supplied alikaline battery but with a few shoot, it ran out. I do not know why Amazon supplies such battery. I called Nikon and after a hold a while, the rep I talked was happy to give me Li battery and in fact they supplied two of them and with a calculator with Nikon logo.

Overall, I am happy with this camera but you may want to be careful about the battery lid. Also, if you buy refurbished one from Amazon, you should get Li battery from Nikon. The supplied one cannot be used.

Digital Pics for Dummies.......2005-09-15

I was never one to take pictures until I got the CoolPix. Now I can't stop! I take it everywhere. It is easy to use and takes great pictures. On my vacation through the Pacific northwest, we visited all the volcanos in the area and took some phenomenal shots of all of them as well as a gorgeous waterfall and the Redwoods. My friends commented that my pictures look like something you'd see on a postcard! It is important to get the rechargeable batteries because you'll blow through AAs like water. I also chose a 128 CF card and it gave me enough memory for my entire 2 weeks worth of pictures. If you get a case for it, be careful not to inadvertantly turn the mode dial while taking it in and out. If you aren't aware what happened you'll wonder why you're in set up mode. My only frustration is that it has a long delay from when you turn it on to when it is ready to take pictures. But if you know that and are allowing for it, you'll never miss a great shot. This camera is top notch and even a novice like me can take great pictures with it!

Great for the price!.......2005-08-31

I just love my Nikon Coolpix 3100! It does everything it says it should and I have had no problems with it. I was able to buy a large memory card for fairly cheap and have been taking tons of pictures ever since the day I bought it. We used to have a Kodak Easyshare, and to tell you the truth, my husband never saw what was easy about it. Perhaps it was too easy!! This little camera takes great pictures, the zoom is just right. I would suggest this camera to anyone who just wants it for nice family and friends candids.

Manufacturer: Sony
ProductGroup: CE
Binding: Electronics

All | DVD Players & Recorders | Audio & Video | Categories | Electronics
Product Features:

Smooth Scan Picture Search

Player features PAL & NTSC playback, but please note - To play PAL movies you need a PAL TV or a high quality video converter (both sold separately)

Plays DVD, VCD, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, MP3 Audio, CD-R, and CD-RW discs

Precision Drive 2 System uses dynamic tilt compensation to correct for a wide range of possible disc imperfections

Block Noise Reduction for smooth, delicately shaded, lifelike images

ASIN: B0000TBAS2

Amazon.com Product Description

The DVP-NS530 multizone DVD player plays movies from any of the six coded regions--including North America, Western Europe and Japan, and China--giving users an expanded menu of movie options. This contrasts with most DVD players, which play discs from one region only. The broader scope is a particular bonus for people interested in imports and international films, though it should be noted that some newer region-specific DVDs will not play on a multizone player.

In addition to its multizone focus, the DVP-NS530 includes a number of other valuable features, such as block noise reduction, which minimizes the data noise that often interferes with DVD images, along with a component video output that ensures the highest possible picture clarity through your TV. The unit's audio enhancements include Dolby Digital and DTS outputs, which deliver 5.1-channel surround sound when connected to a compatible receiver. The player also offers Digital Cinema Sound, a series of modes that replicate the acoustic performance of Hollywood's greatest sound stages, along with virtual surround for users who want to simulate surround sound in a two-speaker setup, or even through the TV's built-in speakers.

The DVD player includes a 24-bit/96 kHz audio digital-to-analog converter for superior signal transfer, along with such convenient features as SmoothScan fast forward and reverse and SmoothSlow slow motion. Parents will rest easy with the included parental lock feature, while everyone will appreciate the convenience of CD and DVD Text, which display artists, titles, and even jacket covers on the front panel and TV. The unit is compatible with CD, DVD, DVD-Video, Video CD, SVCD, DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD-R/RW, and MP3 formats.

A Nice-Looking DVD Player that Works Great!.......2005-09-25

I got this DVD player a few years ago. It has been working properly without any problem. I didn't need to read any manual to be able to use it. It has a sleek silver tone body that looks sharp. The remote is easy to use. If you decide to buy it,
before using it remember to buy a Foreign Plug to U.S.- Outlet Adapter. I got mine from Radio Shack.

Good picture, but apparent quality control problems..........2000-12-28

We received our Toshiba 36A40 shortly before the holidays. After spending most of the day on the phone trying to get through to Toshiba, a technician will be coming to pick it up from our house this afternoon. An overall beautiful picture is marred by several "dead" pixels and a strange, persistent ripple effect in two areas of the screen that are distracting during bright scenes. I'm not too thrilled, since moving this VERY heavy monstrosity in and out of the entertainment center causes damage to the wood each time. The service center says they've had several of these units come in over the past several weeks...and it will be a few weeks before we get the TV back, depending on parts availablity. Ugh.

Best Tube for the money.......2000-12-01

I shopped extensively online and offline for a new TV to replace my Mitsubishi. The Toshiba came through repeatedly in my research as the best big tube TV. Hook this up to the Toshiba DVD player with ColorStream and you will be amazed at the color quality and resolution. I also take advantage of the Picture in Picture to channel surf or watch two ballgames at once. Yes, you could pay more for a flatter screen TV, but why?
