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.

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.

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.

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

This camera is user friendly and is a great camera for someone who loves to take photographs. My husband who does part-time professional photography work has even taken my camera along for jobs and loved what he was able to get out of it. It's a steal for the money and I highly recommend it.

Easy To Use; Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus; Fast Shutter Speed; Good Image Quality; Good Image Stabilization; High ISO Performance

For being a complete noob to photography, the D3100 was a great start. I wasn't so into all the cool little things and the spec stuff, i just needed something easy to use. Picture quality is pretty good, 1080p video is nice, along with the 14 mega pixels.

The 14.2-megapixel Nikon D3100 is a great entry-level digital SLR, and at $699.95 (list, with 18-55mm lens) it's the least-expensive D-SLR to capture 1080p video. It also includes a feature no other D-SLR has-continuous autofocus during video recording, which makes the D3100 feel like a camcorder...

Inexpensive; Great image quality; Large 3-inch LCD; Continuous autofocus during still and video shooting; Helpful Guide mode for new users; Small body (for a D-SLR)

Audible noise from lens when refocusing during video recording; No microphone input

The D3100 is a refinement of the D3000 which now sits at the low-end of Nikon's entry-level DSLRs. The notable changes are a 14 megapixels sensor and 1080p video capability with autofocus. It is a relatively compact DSLR with the most basic feature set.

Very low image noise; Excellent white-balance; Conservative metering; Accurate autofocus system; Short shutter-lag; Good shot-to-shoot speed; Excellent time-to-first-shot; Generally good ergonomics; Full HD video with autofocus; Good build quality; Easily usable with gloves on

Slow autofocus; Uneven color response; Slight image softness; LCD glare when settings are changed; Live-View not exposure-priority; Microphone records camera noise; Impossible to setup video framing; Limited interface control; No exposure bracketing; Odd Auto ISO behavior; Exposure steps always 1/3...

I was able to quickly get the camera up and running to capture some great moments with our daughter.

Easy To Use; Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus; Fast Shutter Speed; Good Image Quality; Good Image Stabilization; Large Clear LCD

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!
