I have loved this camera as I learned how to use the DSLR to pursue my dream of being a photographer. It takes clean images and sometimes, they don't need any edits!

I decided that i wanted to start making short films and i had read alot of stuff about people making good quality productions with DSLR cameras... The Nikon D3100, though not the camera that i originally wanted has thus far turned out to be a great camera for what I was looking to do.

My wife and I absolutely love this camera. The D3100 is our first experience with a digital SLR and we couldn't be happier. It was easy to learn how to use this camera and it takes beautiful pictures and videos.

One of the best DSLR's in its segment and the ideal piece for amateur photographers who would like to invest on their first DSLR. I picked it up 4 months back on ebay for 24k. Clicked 1200 odd shots so far (very sparing user!!) and loving it so far.

"The Nikon D3100 is awesome entry level DSLR camera.. Any new learner like me should prefer it over other cameras.."

This is loaded with new cmos image sensor and image processing engine to provide crystal clear pictures and comes with a guiding manual too to make things easier for novice and newbies. It contains 14.2 megapixels and 3 inch lcd display with a powerful cmos sensor.

nice

Fantastic camera for anyone that want's brilliantly clear professional looking photos and a camera that picks up on the smallest of details.

clear shots; easy to use; picks up tiny details

heavy; bulky

NIKON D3100 - THE CAMERA THAT TEACHES YOU HOW I got my first DSLR camera in December, at first i was adamant i was going to get a canon, this is because the rest of my family own them and they are what i am used to and comfortable with. In Jessops (it closed a week later!

Picture quality; Professional; helpful features; Design; Reliability; ease of use

No knew visual design features except the video function

This is my first foray into photography beyond a point and shoot compact. I read reviews after reviews and found this to be within my price range and have the features i was looking for. I would say invest in a camera bag if you buy this or any DSLR camera as they are so valuable.
