Picture Perfect

Well readers, first and foremost, I want to apologize for my absence lately. A severe case of strep throat had me down for a while. The product we are looking at today is not a fly fishing specific product, but it sure can be utilized during your next fly-fishing excursion! I recently purchased the Nikon D3100 DSLR camera. I must admit that the purchase of this camera was due in part to the amazing photography of Catch Magazine.

Now on to some of the great features of this camera. This thing has 14.2 megapixels for very clear pictures. The high megapixel count along with the famous Nikon lenses make it easy to capture all the contrasting colors we see on the river. Shots of early morning fog, sunsets, and sunrises can be seen much more clearly on the 3100 because of these awesome features.

In addition to the clarity of the pictures, this bad boy shoots full HD videos. That's right. HD! And let me tell you right now, the video quality is out of this world!

What I love most about this camera is that it is the most user friendly camera on the market. Nikon gives you an on board tutorial on how to use the camera and all of its features. You can have the camera tell you what your aperture and shutter speed settings need to be for a particular shot. It has a guide mode with on-board assistance for setting up for all your pictures. The 3100 also has in-camera editing options for optimizing any of your photos before you download them on your computer.

What else do you need to know? Well besides the awesome capability to capture low light situations due to the ISO sensitivity 100-3200 (giving us great pictures for those dawn and dusk brown trout!), this thing is compact and super light. That is the best part. It's easy to carry, and it captures great pics. It is an ideal camera for the TOSFly team, and it is a perfect camera for you.

Trust me ...

Until next time, cast to The Other Side!!!
