I have Canon Sure shots, several types of higher-end Lumix Series, Sonys, Minoltas, and other Nikons, Fs to coolpix. This is a great D-SLR camera. Oversized fingers wont mistakenly press the wrong button in the middle of a shot. Holding it is very comfortable to hold, and offers a good grip. It has a solid feel in comparison to several other similarly priced cameras. The rubber is durable and the camera is forgiving, it will take the occasional bump and grind of constant use. You wont have to baby this camera.The smaller 18mm viewfinder Diopter Adjustment screen is really clear and actually usable unlike other cameras in the same category, that still offer this feature. I was surprised. This is a great feature you dont realize you miss until it is gone. The 3 inch monitor is super bright and clear, bright enough for over the head shots at concerts (doesn't have the over the head light correction as other models, but not really an issue). Display options are helpful, and not all that different from traditional Nikons. Tutorial is helpful for new D-SLR shooters. Great D-SLR entry camera for serious students, enthusiasts and point and shoot up-graders. Battery is sufficient. I had a Nikon GPS model that was horrible with batteries. This is a great camera and will upgrade with you over time.

I bought this camera a few months ago and fell in love with it. It took very good pictures on auto, and I took a class and worked hard to learn how to use my first DSLR. Unfortunately, after 3 months the viewfinder became dark and an Error Code began flashing. Nothing worked and I took it in to my local store for repair. It has been over 4 weeks and still no camera. I sent an email to the Nikon customer support site, which promised an answer with 24 hours. No answer, so I sent another. After another 48 hours with no answer I called called a customer support number. Eventually I found out that a part had been ordered and there is no idea when it will be repaired. I aked why my emails were not anwered in 24 hours and was told that they were backed up. I expressed disappointment and dissatisfaction and received no esponse other than "Uh Uh." The most i got out of the representative was that he would make a note that I called.I have been kept in the dark about what was happening, have no idea when my camera will be returned, and was told that there is no policy for a loaner. The repair process is unbelievably slow. I am wondering if my particular camera is a lemon and will continue to have problems. So, if your camera works you will have a great camera at a great price. If, however, your camera breaks you will most likely be disapppointed in Nikon's customer service.It's a chance you have to decide whether to take.

For the average consumer this camera is flawed by design. While I love many things about this camera, the overall number mistakes Nikon has made with this model has caused me to want to switch to Canon. My first review was scathing but I took it down. After some more experience with the camera I am back with yet another fairly scathing review. If you are an aspiring beginner taking classes this might be a great choice. The price is amazing, and once you learn the finer points of photography this camera can be used to take some amazing pictures.The primary problem with this camera is its Auto ISO sensitivity setting. Unless you turn this off two bad things happen. First your manual ISO settings are completely ignored. Second, the camera resorts to very high ISO settings when it should not. This means if you are a casual photographer who likes to use automatic or semi-automatic modes you might be unhappy with the results. I have been in several situations where ISO 100 or 200 would have been the best choice and this silly camera resorted to 800 or higher. To its credit, the camera does a decent job at these higher ISO settings, but unfortunately these are not the settings I want. I cannot trust this camera to select an appropriate ISO setting automatically.The silver lining here is the education this camera will force onto its owners. I am finding the best way to use this camera is to disable the Auto ISO sensitivity, turn the dial to "M" and leave it there forever. Don't look back! The resulting experience and results are quite refreshing! Using the D3100 in this completely manual fashion reminds me of using my old Pentax K1000. I'm back to the joyful routine of selecting each and every setting manually. The only problem is that I have now ruined entire photo-shoots and missed a number of shots. Sometimes one must learn the hard way but at least I wont be making those same mistakes again. The end result is that I am becoming a much better photographer.The plastic flimsy body is a downer. On my D3100 getting the battery into the camera doesn't feel quite right. The battery remains spring loaded and sticks up out of the body. One must then force the flimsy battery cover closed after inserting the battery. Inserting and removing memory cards also has a weird feel as the card seems to get stuck and requires some extra force to remove it. The D3100's buttons are so cheap feeling its as if they are going to fall right off.So, for everyone except students and professionals I would not recommend this camera, or any Nikon. Canon is effectively obliterating Nikon in just about every way. That said the underlying guts of the D3100 have merit and should be considered, especially at this low price. The low-light performance is very impressive and the 18-55 kit lens isn't bad at all. At the end of the day the D3100 can be used to take amazing photographs if the owner manually takes control. I am taking some amazing pictures with this camera but in general I am looking forward to getting rid of my lenses and this body so I can switch to Canon.

I got around to writing review after more than a year since buying this camera. It meets my needs perfectly because I was looking for light-weight camera that gives good results indoors and has low shutter-lag. Indoor photos don't washout the subjects with excessive flash allowing natural skin tones to show. Shutter lag is low enough for capturing fleeting smiles. Size and bulk is small enough to hang on the neck or carry in a backpack.Most of my pictures are taken in Auto-mode but I love the results. Only once I fiddled around with manual focus, ISO and Aperture settings for 4th of July fireworks. Pictures I got were magazine-worthy.Battery life is long enough for over 400 shots, 16GB card is sufficient for lasting over couple of trips. I use Picasa for organizing photos and Sony's PMB for importing.I skipped buying the kit from Costco because I know I would not carry around two different lenses, let alone switch them. Instead I bought 18mm-105mm lens and thank my good judgment every time I use my camera. Lens is good enough for wide angles and perfect for portraits. Bokeh effect is as expected (can never get that from even high-end aim-and-shoots). I have taken shots of rainbows, closeups of kids, super close-ups of flowers, city-life, dance performances, beaches, sunsets and whatever else I fancy.I have never felt buyer's remorse for owning this. I just thought it is worth the expense to capture priceless memories of my kids before they grow up. I only wish D3100 had adjustable LCD like D5100's for taking ground-level photos or other unusual angles.

Really nice camera for a first time photographer. I use it for sports, and though it only has a 3x Optical zoom, the quality and color of the pics are really good. Easy to use, and the learning curve isn't very steep. Definitely recommend for a new photographer

I am professional photographer, had the need to buy a low-cost camera to do some work depending on the area that I can not load other cameras, this team really meets all expectations I had. I recommend it. the only thing bad that when using high ISO will notice some noise, but with some editing ools achieved eh remove and images are perfect.

I have owned this camera for a while now. It is super easy to use, takes great pictures, and didn't cost an arm and a leg. The only negative I've found is not being able to use a wireless shutter release. It's 14.2 megapixels are plenty for making prints up to 24x36, as long as the shot was right. The video is fine, if you want to shoot videos, buy a video camera. I'm not a pro, but Nikon cameras make me feel like I am, and this one is no exception.

As a beginner DSLR, this camera definitely takes a good quality image with strong colors, and is quite affordable. If it's your first SLR, it is a great introduction.I began with Nikon's D40 and moved to this when the size limitations of a 6 MP image became a hindrance to my expanding photography (and print) interests. Given that this model is newer by several years, I expected improvements across the board, but this was not the case.Things I was surprised to see lacking in the features list:Bracketing--an easy feature to implement, not included on this cameraVideography--now becoming a standard on SLR still cameras, this one supports full 1080p video, but only for 10 minute clips. 10 minutes is plenty of time for taking a quick video at a family gathering or vacation, but the limit gets in the way of experimenting with more serious work. The limitation is silly, and removes this camera from practical commercial use.Remote camera control--not the rf trigger; it supports that. I mean shooting tethered for things like stop-motion photography work. Every single Nikon SLR camera (including the old D40) supports this feature, except the D3000 and D3100.Things I was unpleasantly surprised by when shooting:The Auto mode on this camera does not perform as well as the old D40. I found that photos taken on auto were very frequently less saturated and closer to blown out or plugged than I am accustomed to. Setting the camera manually gave me great results.The camera's choice in ISO is ludicrous. Outdoors, noontime, in full sunlight, at 55mm, F5.6, the camera handed me ISO 2200. It very consistently strove to ramp up the ISO to unnecessary levels, favoring sensitivity over shutter speed.The noise. Partly because of the tendency to bump the ISO higher, but in general, I found that every one of the thousands of frames I've shot so far in *every* lighting condition, has a lot of noise. Perhaps this is a product of the 14 MP sensor, compared to the 6 I am used to...but it is a severe chore to set everything manually every frame or clean up all of the noise in post. (Noise reduction has been turned on throughout)So, to sum up: The D3100 has all of the basic SLR functions, none of the advanced ones, creates bland looking photos 70% of the time on auto, and is capable of taking great looking pictures but is noisy. If you're looking for a first SLR camera, the price is right, and it's definitely a camera that can be reasoned with. But as an upgrade to a camera that did everything well but was showing its age? Not an adequate replacement.

As many, many reviews have already stated, the Nikon D3100 is a great DSLR for beginners or serious photographers who want a compact DSLR. At this point (June 2012) the D3100 and its 14-megapixel image sensor is slowly being phased out by the D3200 which has a 24-megapixel sensor. Honestly, although the D3200 is sure to be a great seller, most people will be MORE than fine with the D3100 and can save some cash buy buying this camera.I've made excellent, tack sharp prints as large as 16x20 inches from heavily cropped images from the D3100, so 14 megapixels is way more than most people need. Not only that, but if you get the D3200 you will need to buy larger capacity SD cards (or more of them) because the 24-megapixel images take up more storage space on the memory cards. The 18-55mm kit lens is a great starter lens and good for a wide range of uses from landscapes to portraits. Nikon's Vibration Reduction (VR) technology in the lens allows you to take sharp photos at lower shutter speeds without a tripod.I worked for years as a wedding and portrait photographer and I use the D3100 with the Nikon 35mm 1.8G, 50mm 1.8G and 85mm 1.8G as my compact DSLR kit. This allows me to to shoot portraits in available light and cover most portrait situations with a small camera bag. Sometimes I'll bring the 18-55mm kit lens along just to have wide angle coverage, but these smaller lenses I just mentioned are all I use with the D3100. Yes, you can use larger lenses with the D3100 but I personally don't use this camera with my larger lenses because the camera itself is so small that larger lenses make everything feel out of balance.Anyway, if you're looking for a simple compact DSLR that makes a good "family camera" then the D3100 is a good choice. Likewise, if you're an experienced photographer and you want a compact DSLR to use with a few compact lenses the D3100 is a perfect choice.

I got this for my mom but have used it a lot. I am a photography student and my mom wanted a professional camera that isn't expensive. I found this one, read a lot about it and found it the most decent low price professional camera out there, which is enough for what my mom needs since she's using it as a personal camera. I tried it and was better than I expected! the zoom is not that good and it struggles with fast motion pictures, but for simple pictures its great and with other lens the zoom can be greatly enhanced! Overall, it's great deal! shipping was super quick thanks to Amazon Prime. I'm so happy!

I have some experience working with SLR cameras and this was my first DSLR. My first SLR was Nikon and I am pretty faithful to this brand. I have loved every Nikon I've ever owned. However, at this point in my life, most of the photos I'm taking are inside and of my kids (who don't always hold a pose for very long). I had a TERRIBLE time getting the autofocus to work with inside lighting. It had to be very bright in order for the camera to focus at all. I lost so many photos because the camera would look like it was going to focus and as I pushed the shutter button, it completely went blurry. Most of the time, I switched to manual focus or starting using my smart phone which takes much better pictures of daily moments than the d3100. Also, the amount of zoom that comes with the standard lens is quite disappointing. I ended up returning the d3100 and just bought the Nikon coolpix p510. It focuses beautifully inside on moving children and the zoom is so much better. If you are not going to be taking professional photos with professional lighting please do not consider the d3100 - save some money and be much happier with the coolpix p510.

I'm new to the dslr world, and I asked my friends what camera I should buy.They suggested Nikon 3000, 3100 or 5100. I got the 3100. And as an "entry level camera" it surpassed my expectations. I'm hoping to save up some money so I can get another lens. Those things get expensive. But the kit lens that came with it (18-55 mm) is pretty sufficient for what I need right now. So far, I've had it for 3 weeks and snapped a couple hundred pics and had no issues. Battery life lasts a really long time! That really impressed me. Shot for 3 days and still had life left. Also loving the all the help menus. Very informative. They really did a good job with this camera.
