Nikon Corporation's D3100 digital-SLR camera, recipient of the iF Product Design
Award 2011, is also a recipient of the iF Communication Design Award 2011. The
iF Design Awards are globally prestigious awards sponsored by International
Forum Design GmbH of Hanover Germany. As recipient of two prestigious iF awards
in 2011, the Nikon D3100 has proven its superior design.
Nikon entered the D3100 in the iF Communication Design Award's Product
Interfaces category. The D3100's GUI was designed for simple operation that can
be quickly mastered by even first-time users of a digital-SLR camera, and its
major feature is the Guide Mode menus that allow users to gradually increase
their photographic knowledge and skill. The camera won the iF Communication
Design Award based on the usability, look and feel, and uniqueness of its
interface.
Six independent and equally important design awards, collectively known as the
iF Design Awards, have been sponsored by International Forum Design(iF) based in
Hanover Germany, since 1953. Each year, industrial products exhibiting superior
design from around the world are selected as recipients of these prestigious
awards, among them the Product Design Awards, Communication Design Awards and
Packaging Awards. This year, 861 products from 27 countries were entered in the
contest for the iF Communication Design Awards 2011. 231 products, including the
D3100, received the award.
This year's awards ceremony is scheduled to be held on March 18th (Friday) at
BMW Welt in Munich.
iF Communication Design Award & D3100
The D3100
The D3100 (released in September 2010) is an entry level digital-SLR camera
equipped with a new DX-format CMOS image sensor with an effective pixel count of
14.2-million pixels and the new image-processing engine, EXPEED 2, both
developed by Nikon, that enables the capture of high-definition images with
superior image quality. The D3100 is equipped with a Guide Mode function with
operation simple enough for even first-time users of a digital-SLR camera. Guide
Mode utilizes an intuitive GUI design comprised of selectable menu items and
assist images. The camera also offers a number of convenient functions,
including live view mode for framing photos using the built-in monitor, as well
as the D-Movie function, which supports recording of full-HD movies. Despite its
compact size and light weight, the D3100 offers the authentic performance of a
digital-SLR camera, allowing users to capture beautiful photos that reflect
their individual intent with simple operation.

Why I like the Societies: Pro Imagemaker is a good magazine. An article on free software in 2008 encouraged me to use OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Office on my PC. I now use the same package on my iMac as well, saving a considerable sum of money. - Philip P
