If you've already decided on an entry-level DSLR, the chances are you'll be considering Nikon and Canon. The Nikon D3100 is an excellent all-rounder, and well worth the money.
Pros:
- Despite sitting at the low end of Nikon's digital SLR range, the Nikon D3100 is an excellent camera
- It features similar styling to much more expensive cameras, with an oversized handgrip, and it's a robust and well made solution
- The kit lens is particularly impressive.
Cons:
- The Nikon D3100 is competing in an increasingly crowded market, and it struggles to differentiate itself
- It's good, yes, but there are also impressive options available from Canon, Olympus and others.

I did not saw the product itself as I bought in for my parents living in another country but my dad is very happy and spending all his time playing with his new "toy". He needed to download the manual but everything seems fine.

Nikon D3100 Review
Old-school photographers will embrace the Nikon D3100's sharp stills and classic design, but noisy video keeps it out of the big leagues with competing models.
Pros:
- Terrific 14.2MP stills
- Noise well under control at high ISOs
- Good ergonomics
- menu system
Cons:
- Mic picks up lens noise when shooting videos
- Jelly effect when panning
- No USB cable supplied

The D3100 is the latest entry-level Nikon DSLR in a line that dates back four years to the D40 and, in arguably the biggest upgrade yet, gains two key features: live view and movie recording.

- Highly sophisticated AF system for the price
- Easy manual selection of off-centre AF points
- Unusually...
Cons:
- Slight tendency to overexpose in contrasty conditions
- Buggy Live View / Movie Mode (movies aren't necessarily recorded at set aperture
- Crude live view magnification is of little help for critical manual focus
- No live histogram in live view
- AF still a little sluggish in live view mode
- full-time...
