I was looking to upgrade from my previous non SLR digital camera. I had used a film SLR for many years and even this "entry level" camera had so much more in features than my film camera.

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

None

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.

This camera is perfect for beginners wanting to get into the world of digital photography.

Easy to use; great pictures and perfect for beginners

Battery life can be short-lived for the more invloved sessions

After a lifetime in commercial photography I decided to treat myself to a digital toy. As a previous Nikon film camera owner I found that I can use my old AI-S lenses in Manual mode without too much bother. But the convenience of using the 18-55mm kit lens with 'auto-everything' is great.

Can use AI-S lenses; Durable; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight

Nothing so far

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

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.
