Get super pictures right out of the box with this one. I'm an experienced photographer that was tired of hauling heavy gear around. The 15-55mm is also very good and light. But get the 35mm f 1.8. It will become your favourite lens. Trust me!

Small and light! You will take this camera with you; All the features you are going to need

Not really; You get More than you pay for with this camera

This was a present for my daughter who is getting into photography as a hobby and for work. She has found it extremely easy to use and to follow the technical guide. Our one complaint is the lack of a USB cable to connect to the Mac/PC.

Nikon's D3100 is the baby of the company's extensive dSLR range " and baby is the operative word: this little camera really is light and compact, especially compared to the more upmarket models.

Compact size; Outstanding control layout; Very good images at the price

Needs G series ultrasonic lenses to autofocus; Slightly slow AF on kit lens

While the Nikon D3100 carries a list price slightly higher than that of the company's most affordable SLR, it offers a number of very worthwhile improvements that make it easy to justify the extra cost. Key among these for most photographers will be its better image quality.

No bracketing capability; Auto and Incandescent white balance very warm in tungsten lighting; No in-body image stabilization (but bundled kit lens has vibration reduction; Won't autofocus with older "screw-drive" AF lenses; No improvement in burst speed over predecessor; Built-in strobe doesn't

this was my first dslr. it is really easy to use and takes nice pictures. my only complaint is that the iso range is really small and when you go past 800 photos get really grainy. other than that its a good, cheap camera.

I have owned this camera for 1 1/2 years. I find it great for portrait, candid and landscape s

Easy to use for beginners; Manuals guide you.

Night portraits are not easily taken unless user is aware of how to use settings

I am new to DSLR and have briefly used this model in the past so thought of getting one for myself this Christmas.The camera is fantastic for beginners in photography as it's quite easy to set up and use.

Easy To Use; Excellent In Low Light; Great Resolution; Nice Features and Settings; Rugged

Heavy

The 14.2 megapixel Nikon D3100 digital SLR is the upgrade of the chunkier Nikon D3000, Europe's best selling DSLR, according to its manufacturer, so expectations are high of its compact and lightweight successor.
