This is an adequate camera, and a great spare body for my purposes, but probably pretty good for first-time DSLR owners.
This camera is just a second body that I carry around in the event something bad happens to my primary camera. It is also handy during those times when not changing lenses back and forth is desirable.
Pros:
- It is VERY reliable
- reasonably fast
- and a good
- compact DSLR
Cons:
- Hmmm..
- It does what it is designed to do pretty well, but is just plain lackluster

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 was a little nervous about the D3100 but as I read the the instruction book it all came together...I just need a couple of lenses and I'll be set.

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
Nikon's new entry level DSLR offers nice still image quality with good high ISO performance all rolled in to a compact and light DSLR. The 18-55mm kit lens is a solid if unspectacular performer with average AF times, but generally good image quality and a very usable close focus distance.
Pros:
- Good color
- image quality
- Light and compact DSLR
- Decent kit lens
Cons:
- Short video record time
- Noticeable rolling shutter

Nikon D3100 review
With sales of micro-system cameras (MSCs) increasing, the position of the MSC's direct competitor, the entry-level DSLR, comes under the spotlight. While Nikon has hinted that it is looking into launching an MSC model, nothing has been announced yet.
