I own a point and shoot camera but like the features of an SLR so I decided to upgrade to a DSLR. I chose the Nikon D3100 because it has enough manual features to get me back into amateur photography plus the AUTO setting that makes it easy enough for anyone else to use.

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.

I love this camera very much. Best buy at this price range. seller is very good, got this at best deal. ordered for the 50mm prime lens today from the same seller to get better bokeh effect. i am just a learner of DSLR, and its just best for me. Dont think much, just go for it.

In general the came is very good for beginners. the came also have a perfect options . overall I'm happy with my purchase and i will recommend this item for my friends . Thanks

every thing is good with this came

there is no memory card

If you're looking for really awesome, professional riding pics, this is the camera for you. If you're not a photographer, DSLR cameras are hard to use. As there is a learning curve, The D3100 does have a guide mode that helps you set the camera up for the best results, making easier than most DSLRs.

Incredible pictures; easy to use DSLR; guide mode; unbelievable HD video

Anyone who is in the market for a entry level camera to start out with, and on a budget. This camera will hold its own against the 32 and 3300's. ISO performance for a camera in this price range is GREAT !!! It has no microphone jack if you think you'll use one. Shoots sharp videos also.

It's all very well having a posh specifications list and a barrow-load of features, but it's how they translate into photographic quality that's key. With great handling for such a small SLR and impeccable image quality in practically every shot, the Nikon D3100 is both highly impressive and utterly...

Make no mistake, the Nikon D3000 was a seriously good entry-level camera, fully justifying its position as Europe's top-selling DSLR for the first half of this year. But all good things come to an end and, more recently, the D3000 was showing its age with a complete lack of Live View, video capture...

In summation then, the D3100 feels solidly constructed when gripped in the palm, is fast and responsive, and is capable of some sharp and colourful results thanks to combination of sensor and supplied 18-55mm test lens and is fairly priced.

The D3100 is Nikon's replacement for the D3000. Aimed squarely at the entry-level market, it's certainly going to be a wake-up call for other manufacturers.

Good exposure for high contrast scenes; 14.2MP of resolution; which is extremely high for an entry-level camera; Extremely user-friendly for beginners

Simplified buttons make it hard to get to key features quickly; No stereo microphone input socket; High
