As a photographer, I feel like I am giving away my secret here, but ever since Oprah put in on her “Favorite Things List," the word is out on the new, fabulous Nikon D3100 Digital SLR Camera. As someone who has shot on a myriad of professional equipment, I was blown away by the ease, lightness, and quality of this camera, not to mention its HD video capability. It is a pro camera, at half the price ($699), and can operate as simply as a point-and-shoot. In fact, ever since I picked this camera up, I haven’t even touched my old ones. To quote Oprah: “It is one sexy camera.”
