Nikon D3100
Nikon D3100
The new 14 Megapixel sensor records noticeably finer details than 10 Megapixel models, while noise levels are kept in check at high sensitivities – indeed as you'll see in our results pages, the D3100 performed similarly to the pricier Canon EOS 550D / T2i, at least when both were equipped with their kit lenses.
The presence of Live View and HD movies may not make much difference to DSLR traditionalists, but they're essential features in today's market. Live View finally allows Nikon's entry-level DSLR to compose with its screen and offer features like face detection and subject tracking, while the HD movie mode boasts both 720p and 1080p, along with an attempt at autofocusing while filming.

Nikon's D3100 is the company's latest entry-level DSLR and the successor to the best-selling D3000. It builds-upon that model's friendly operation and brings it right up to date with higher resolution images, Live View and HD movie capabilities. Indeed it's arguably now the best-featured entry-level DSLR and will appeal equally to beginners along with enthusiasts on a tighter budget.

Nikon D3100
Nikon D3100
Nikon's first DSLR to offer Full HD video is approachable and user friendly without being too dumbed down
The 14.2 megapixel Nikon D3100 digital SLR upgrades the Nikon D3000, Europe’s number one best selling DSLR according to its manufacturer, so expectations are high of its compact and lightweight successor.
For those who couldn’t care less about spreadsheets, it’s notable for introducing Full HD 1080p video at 24 frames per second to the Nikon range. A surprising move, given that this is the manufacturer’s beginner-targeted model rather than a semi pro offering. Aiding compatibility with older PCs, the video format is widely accessible MPEG-4.
The D3100 feels rugged when gripped, especially with 18-55mm kit lens attached, and though lightweight, it’s still very much a Nikon, by which we mean the build is solid and well put together.
Flick the camera to ‘on’ and you can be shooting with it as fast as your finger can reach the shutter release button. Press this fully once the 11-point AF system has near as instantaneously located its target, and the shutter fires with a satisfyingly loud clunk. Up to a modest 3fps capture speed is offered in continuous shooting mode.
Nikon D3100: Controls
Given that Nikon is reaching out to the mass market with the D3100, and those looking to upgrade from point and shoot compacts, it’s no surprise that the accent is on ease of use. Thus, like Sony with its lower end Alpha DSLRs and the Olympus E-PL1 ‘Pen’ hybrid camera, Nikon has included an ‘Enhanced Guide’ mode on the D3100, which has its own setting on the ten pence piece-sized shooting mode dial. The intention is to teach the basic fundamentals of photography through repeated use – so someone unfamiliar with a more ‘professional’ camera can pick the D3100 up and start experimenting straight away.
Furthering user friendliness, rather than bury the feature within menu screens Nikon has included a dedicated switch for activating Live View. This is the means by which the D3100’s large, fixed LCD can be used to compose shots instead of the traditional viewfinder above it, which blacks out when ‘LV’ is selected.
The switch for this also ergonomically surrounds a video record button, as found on the Panasonic G2 hybrid camera, suggesting Nikon is keen to make more of HD movies.
However, with no dedicated video setting on the top plate dial, users have to have Live View mode selected before video recording will even commence. In this respect it’s still not as easy to be up and shooting video as on the Sony A33 translucent mirror model, nor Panasonic’s aforementioned hybrids.
That said, like those models, the advantages of having access to larger and better lenses than your average camcorder when doing so cannot be underestimated.
Nikon D3100: Features
A smaller overall form factor means that there are inevitably some compromises, notably a smaller hand grip, though we still managed to squeeze three fingers around the D3100’s, thumb coming to rest on a small pad at the rear.
Despite the diminutive body size Nikon has kept the buttons fairy large, so its layout can look a little crowded. It’s sensible therefore that Nikon has implemented the Guide feature to make the camera a little more approachable. Relevant settings can also be selected within this mode, without having to dip back into the shooting modes proper, so it’s not purely a substitute for otherwise reading the manual.
We also get Nikon’s D-Lighting system on board, selected as the camera’s default setting, to cope automatically with tricky exposures and preserve detail in both shadow areas and highlights. This works fairly well though occasionally it lends images a slightly washed out appearance.
Nikon D3100: Picture quality
With the option to shoot JPEG or NEF files (Nikon Raw), Nikon allows users to further tweak the look of images via Picture Control functions. Though the default setting of standard produces perfectly acceptable natural imgaes, we also enjoyed using the vivid and landscape modes to boost blues and greens in a scene. On overcast days results can otherwise look rather flat.
The kit lens provided - though not as sharp as more expensive alternatives - is adequate for the job, certainly for starters, maintaining good edge to edge sharpness if ever so slightly soft to the naked eye.
Even more impressively on the D3100, it’s only really at expanded ISO12800 light sensitivity setting that noise/grain starts to become particularly noticeable when shooting in lower light without flash.
Nikon D3100: Price and conclusion
Though street prices will inevitably be cheaper, the D3100 comes with a body-only price of £499.99, or it’s £579.99 when adding the standard 18-55mm VR (Vibration Reduction) zoom lens we had for testing. It’s worth noting that like arch rival Canon, Nikon doesn’t build image stabilisation into its bodies, so anti shake via whichever lens you choose is a must.
Ultimately, despite the inclusion of its Guide mode and manageable body proportions, the D3100 doesn’t come across as a more grown up DSLR that has purely been dumbed down. On the contrary, its approach appears to be one of inclusiveness, rather than patronization in order to reach a wider audience. The result is a sound investment for any would-be Nikon owner starting out.

Movie:The Social Network: Facebook History
The Social Network
A movie about the creation of Facebook headlined the New York Film Festival last Friday at the Walter Reade Theater in Manhattan. “The Social Network” by film maker David Fincher will open in US theaters on October 1.
The $47-million movie was based on Ben Mezrich’s book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, a Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betrayal. It follows the story of Facebook creator and CEO Mark Elliot Zuckerberg, who as a Harvard undergraduate, together with friend Eduardo Saverin and classmates Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes founded the social networking giant.
Aaron Sorkin wrote the script for the movie that stars Jesse Eisenberg (Zombieland, Adventureland), pop superstar Justin Timberlake, Andrew Garfield (Spiderman) and Joseph Mazzello (Simon Birch).
The movie said to have portrayed a ‘not-so flattering image’ of Zuckerberg who described the book it was based on as ‘fiction.’ According to the New York Post, the film depicted Zuckerberg as "a conniving backstabber who may have stolen the idea for his social networking site."

Mountain Climbers / Backpackers Essentials
Helpful tips for mountain climbers/backpackers
Know Your Limitations – It is important that before you even start to climb a mountain, you know your limitations and motivations. Develop an awareness of where your personal physical, mental and technical limits lie. Pushing your limits is fine, but overstretching them can be detrimental.
Listen To Your Intuition – Intuition is your most important ally when climbing a mountain. Go with your gut feeling, it can actually save your life. If something looks to good to be true, it probably is.
Always Travel In Groups – Never go on a climbing expedition alone. Always go with company. If you must go alone, remember to keep in touch with base camp as much as possible and update them on your location every few hours.
Know The Weather – Always keep a close watch on the weather for your climb. Get regular weather reports and updates and learn to look for signs of bad weather. A sunny day can turn into a blizzard without any warning. It is very important for a climber to study the weather patterns, especially for long climbs.
Pack As Light As Possible – What is in your backpack is very important, as your life literally depends on it. Pack lightly, but never sacrifice safety for weight. Always be packed for all possible weather conditions.
Speak The Language – Mountaineers have their own language and terms. Learn them well. The internet is a great resource for finding and understanding mountaineering terminology.
Remember to stay hydrated at all times - Drink plenty of fluids when climbing, as it prevents hypothermia.
Wear Proper Clothing – High altitudes require warm clothing; even in midsummer as there are freezing storms. Sun glasses are also necessary. A rough mountain slope demands sturdy shoes. Always wear gloves and remember to dress in layers.
Start Early – Mountain storms are most frequent in the afternoon. Start climbing early so that you can avoid these storms while climbing.
Keep Sensible Fatigue Limits – Extreme tiredness makes even easy descents dangerous. It's important to conserve energy while climbing. A standard mountaineering technique is to coordinate ones breathing rate with ones stride while maintaining a comfortable and sustainable exertion level.
Be Safe – If you suspect that there are climbers below you when you dislodge a rock of any size, call it out loudly. Even the smallest rock can displace larger rocks or start rock avalanche. A climbing helmet is a good piece of equipment to invest in, especially climbing rocky mountain terrain.
Getting Lost – If you get lost, attract attention with a small fire rather than wandering about in panic.
Do not think that technology is a fix-all – You can never carry every piece of technology gear. Rather depend on your own intuition.
Descending - Always take your time when descending a mountain, more injuries occur on the descent than on the ascent, as people tend to get careless. Reaching the top is not your only objective – it’s getting down safely as well.
And lastly, always expect the unexpected. Nothing is certain when climbing, so be cautious.
Essential Skills for Beginners
The first rule of mountaineering is simple – get to know what you are getting into. Read books and research mountain climbing on the internet. Read Mountaineering: The Freedom of the Hills, it is widely considered by many as the beginner guide to climbing.
Also learn the fundamentals of climbing from an experienced mountaineer or certified guiding service. Learn basic climbing techniques, including rappelling, belaying, anchor systems, and climbing protection, basic rope management, useful climbing knots, and most important, basic wilderness survival.

Your basic equipment list should include;
· Backpack
· Dog Tag ID and Whistle
· Rain Gear/ Poncho
· Tent/sleeping bag
· Stove and Fuels/Butane
· Bottled Water and purifier
· Compass
· Head lamp
· Seat harness

Useful Items
These items are not essential to your survival but your trip just wouldn't be the same without them. You may want to consider taking the following;
· A camera.
· Spare batteries.
· An alarm clock.
· A torch.
· A personal music player.
· A deck of cards.
· A good book.
· A small bag for use during the day.
· A pen and notepad (very useful thin to have for writing out directions, reminders of place names, planning itinerary etc).
· Take lots of bin bags, these can keep dirty clothes separate from dry ones and be used to waterproof your backpack.
Fitness
Mountaineering is a physically demanding sport and your physical conditioning is the single most important way you can ensure a successful climb. It is crucial that you undergo a rigorous exercise and fitness program to get into shape.
When training for a high altitude climb cardiovascular training such as running and cycling should be included, as it helps you build strong lungs. Additionally, use a stationary bike, stair climber, rowing machine and/or other gym equipment as well. Weight training should also be included, with focus on your back and shoulders, as well as your quadriceps and hamstrings, which are important muscles for climbing. Climbing hills, stairs and stadium steps while wearing a backpack, is an ideal training technique. Stretching is also important. Stretch your fingers, elbows, and shoulders, because they will be holding ropes and pounding ice axes in the ice in cold freezing conditions.
A great way to condition your legs is by doing squats. This is to strengthen your legs and improve your endurance on the mountain. Also work on your glutens and calves Lunges, and leg presses are great exercises.
Three to four long training sessions per week are more beneficial than short daily workouts. It is recommended that you begin training at least three months in advance.
When climbing, be aware of edema, hypothermia, hypoxia and other altitudes sicknesses. By learning the symptoms of these illnesses, you can avoid them.
