I read a few reviews before I purchased this camera, which were all very positive. I have no regrets at all buying this camera, and it was just the thing to get me back into SLR photography after a 30 year break. Got a good deal in my view at ￡350 GBP with the 18-55 Nikkor lens ($545 USD approx)
Pros:
- Easy to use, great results
- The built in guide is useful, especially for a novice
- The price is good for an entry level camera and I can see it lasting me quite a while
- Although calling 'entry level' is a bit deceiving as it is capable of producing, as far as I can see, perfectly professional...
Cons:
- Perhaps an infra red option for the remote as the older version used to have, but that's not a how stopper as there are plenty of good value wireless remotes out there
- I can't think of anything bad to say about it to be honest as I'm loving using it

D3100 Review
Nikon D3100 Review Nikon fixes the broken D3000, mostly Add a comment or send Thom feedback on this article. I'm going to try to keep this short, as there isn't a lot to talk about beyond what I've already written about low-end Nikon DSLRs.
Pros:
- Wide isn't wide . Nikon hasn't really produced a true wide angle that's small enough to complement this camera, Video is wobbly. Rolling shutter problems are about as bad as I've seen in a DSLR. Talking head videos are okay
- roller blade action, not so much, Complicated for a beginner's camera .

All in all, the review conclusion is that the Nikon D3100 is a nice SLR, but the D5000 is a much better device at the same price.
