Let me start out that I have long been a fan of the SLR setup for a long time. I like the ability to use filters and different lenses. It has however been a long time since I upgraded. My last camera was and still is a Minolta STSI 35mm. Still works but as Minolta doesn't make cameras and most of my scopes and binoculars are Nikon I made the switch. The D3100 is a solid camera for the average user. And while it isn't nearly as rugged as say the D7000 is still is well built. There are a lot of buttons but as time goes on I find that they are well placed. Making the step from a SLR to a DSLR did take a bit of a leap. The camera doesn't come with memory or a cord to connect it to the computer. So I purchased those right away. Also purchased a 52mm Polarized filter for it as well as a spare battery and memory. Strongly recommend the Polarized filter to those new to cameras they are well worth it. Also, dont get a cheap one you can get at Walmart or Best Buy. Also, figured out that I can save in both RAW and JPEG format at the same time which is useful, some documentation said that you could only do one or the other but not both so I was happy to find out you could do both. RAW format was important to me as I wanted to be able to play around with the pics later like I did with my 35mm negatives before. Do wish that they made a grip for this camera. Guess I have to wait for a third party to come out with one.

I've had this camera several weeks now and can tell you that it takes stunning pictures. For those of you with only experience in point and shoot, this is the camera to select in order to make the transition into DSLR photography. It is easy to use and takes terrific pictures on pre-programmed settings. As you become more confident switch to manual settings and see what you can do. The Nikon website has tutorials online that you can use regarding general photography, I recommend checking it out.

As a bargain video shooter the D3100 sounded ideal: 24p, interchangeable lens, great image quality, manual features. But there's one problem: beware the jello cam! Jello cam--also known as rolling shutter--is when a video image wobbles and bends like jello when the camera is moved. To a certain extent it's a problem with all CMOS cameras, but this Nikon seems to be particularly jello-y. Locked-down footage looks great. Stills look great. But if handheld run-and-gun style shooting is your thing think twice!

This is my first time buying a Digital SLR. I have mainly used point and shoot cameras in the past and have always had fun taking pictures. I wanted to start digital photography as a hobby so I decided to buy a nicer camera. After reading many reviews and comparisons I decided on this camera as it is the update to the Nikon D3000 that a friend of mine has. They love their camera so I figured this was a good choice. Unfortunately I have not learned enough to take many pictures off of Auto mode, so it acts like a point and shoot. Compared to my Kodak point and shoot the pictures are great. I love this camera as it does a good job of taking pictures and is not very heavy. It looks like it should be, but does not feel like it is. It appears to be a very sturdy camera.Nikon suggests certain memory cards that they certified to use with this camera. Most of these for an 8GB card are $50 or more. I purchased two Transcend 8GB Class 10 SDHC Card (TS8GSDHC10) from Amazon and so far these have been amazing. I have the camera saving in both RAW and JPEG until I can get familiar enough to switch completely to RAW. Saving in this format is 20MB a picture and this card has no trouble keeping up.As a first time Digital SLR buyer and user I love this camera and would highly recommend it to others. We took about 300 pictures at a Thanksgiving get together and a few other people tried the camera out and were impressed as well.I am not a professional so please don't take my opinion as someone acting as an authority on this subject, but as a first time user I am happy and hope my review will help any other first time digital camera fans out there. Thanks.

I purchased a Nikon D3100 about a month ago and right out of the box I noticed the Auto (point and shoot) Mode was not taking the quality of pictures I was hoping for. The pictures looked dull and when I looked at the original file, I noticed it was from the amount of grain in the picture. The grain was drowning out the details, and almost made the picture look out of focus. It was happening whether I was indoor or outdoor, flash or no flash. I changed the camera to P, S, A & M modes, and it took extremely sharp pictures in those modes, which is what I was expecting from the camera. I sent that camera back and purchased a new one from Amazon. Same problem. Well, I have since done some research and participated in forums, and found out there is a problem with the D3100 choosing very high ISO levels in Auto Mode, no matter the setting. This is causing the grain/dull/no detailed photos. You would expect Auto Modes to take easy, great pictures in an entry level camera, most people coming from point and shoot cameras. If you want sharp pictures, you have to use P, S, A or M modes with the D3100. There, you can control the ISO manually, or use Auto ISO and choose a lower maximum ISO setting. Apparently this is a discussed firmware issue, but Nikon claimed they hadn't heard about it when I messaged them... Well, go take a look at the forums out there, it is an issue for those of us who expect quality shots in all modes. Other than the ISO firmware issue, it is a great camera, capable of very good pictures, just not in the auto point and shoot modes.

This camera is the third generation replacement for the venerable D40. It's smaller and lighter than the D40, and like the D40, comes kitted with the standard 18-55mm lens (so you can't choose the lens you might otherwise want without shelling out for the kit lens - an amateur way of presenting the camera to the buying public).For some reason, Nikon decided to eliminate the infrared remote feature (along with the wonderful and very inexpensive MD-13 wireless remote for $15.00) that's been on every Nikon DSLR camera since the D50. This may not seem all that much of a loss, but the remote feature made tripod photography (group shots where you want to be in, and, more importantly, night time shots where you don't want to touch the camera to trigger the shutter) much easier. Sure, there's a self-timer on the D3100, but that's a Mickey Mouse and anachronistic way of firing your camera. There's only an two and ten second selection on the timer, so you may miss the shot or not have enough time to get into the shot.Moreover, the depth of field button is gone. Good luck trying to see your depth of field on the small screen. Not a big thing to most photogs, but important if you're taking pix where focus or the lack of it is an intended part of the shot.The resolution from the D3100 seems no better than the older D40, which had all of the missing features mentioned above, plus a 1/500th sync on its flash, as opposed to the much less useful 1/200the on the D3100.A mediocre rehash of a once great entry level camera....

I am not professional photographer. Before buying this I discussed some of my friends. Almost all suggested to go for Nikon brand. As per my budget, I purchase Nikon D3100 in 2010. I love this camera. Its very easy to handle, has excellent picture quality. I am using this, since last 1 yr, I have not faced any kind of trouble shoot. I would like to recommend this model, for new beginners.

Well to start off, I'm 17 years old and this is my first DSLR camera. It's freaking amazing. I've had it for about a week now and I have no regrets whatsoever. The picture quality is amazing, it feels great in my hands, and I got it for $550 (Normally $650). I've been using it to take pictures and film my friends skating. The only issue with my camera is that there's just one dead pixel, this isn't Amazon's fault, though, so I didn't knock off any stars.

This was my DREAM camera!! I was so tired to using those small cameras that take 10 seconds to take a picture. My kids move WAY too fast for that!! I was always missing the perfect shots of my kids. NOT ANYMORE!!! The option on this phone for fast continuos photo shots is amazing!! I have been using for one week and have some great pictures of awesome faces and actions that my kids do. It will definetly get alot of use in my house!! My next step is to buy a book about this camera so I can use all of the functions. I'm not an experienced photographer, just a mommy that wants to take great photos!!

I've always owned Canon high end point and shoots. When I saw this drop to 499.00 same as the Canon T3 I picked it up. I always wanted once in my life to own DSLR and was always told that Nikon DSLR image quality is second to none. Well I'm still learning all the D3100 does but even in Auto the pics are professional quality. The video is also very sharp but you do have to learn how to pan slowly to give the lens time to focus, but video was a bonus I didn't buy this for that. It's a very confortable camera to hold and small for a DSLR compared to others out there. Build quality is superb. I love it and can't wait to use it more!

After film cameras, darkrooms, point and shoots, a D40 and a D50, the 3100 DX seemed a sensible next step.Of course, I will add a few lenses and a bag and tripod now.Took it into the desert. Still trying to figure it all out. Mostly use it on the A settting and with a polarizing filter.Nikon or Cannon. Can't go wrong either way but stick with one. The soft ware is not much but free photo editing software abounds. Why does Nikon sell better versions of its editing software? For the serious, that is not the way to go.An easy to use, practical camera.Nikon D3100 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens

As a painter and non-photographer-turned-conceptual-artist who always carries cameras (as replacements for sketchbooks) with him on his walk-abouts in town and country, the Nikon D3100, is one of the best cameras in its weight and ease-of-use class that I have in my 63 years as a professional artist ever had.

This is my first DSLR camera, after doing so many research, talking to friends,Contacted Nikon USA customer care, I decided to buy this camera.I got this camera right before Thanks giving, as I know I'll not get best deal on this camera as this is one of the highest selling DSLR camera available in market. The image quality is amazing and it is quite user friendly.I also bought Nikor AF 55-300 Zoom lens with camera and it is perfect combination of all type of photography.Positive things1)Superb Image quality2)Easy to operate3)Light weight(Without Zoom lens)4)On camera Image editing feature5)Good battery life if you use just for still photography(Less for HD Video Recording)6)Latest changed setting feature(It will list all setting you or somebody changed on your camera.Few thing I was looking on this camera but this camera has not.After doing all the research I decided I can live without all these feature as my Sony HDR SR-11 Handy-cam has all these features.1) I can not use the wireless remote on this camera(Still wondering why its previous version D3000 has this feature but not on this)2)The LCD screen is fixed on camera, I was looking the feature like D5000 where you can move the LCD screen.3)It should have two memory slot and at least some sort of internal memory.4)There are no accessory provided for USB connection or AV output.(I found these things in my very less expensive camera)5)There is no thread or some thing like that is tied to Lens cap, so many time I forgot where I left the Lens Cap.6)Self timer has just two setting 10 sec or 2 sec, It should have user defined timing.Anurag SaurabhStillwater MN

I have just graduated from point & shoot to dslr photography. I purchased this camera to use for my first photography class and it is AWESOME! I will not get very technical like many of the reviews, however, I conducted ALOT of research on Cannon and Nikon before I went with the D3100. It takes great pictures in all modes and is easy to learn. I am a novice, however after just one class, I feel confident shooting in manual mode and this camera makes understanding the settings very easy. My pictures are already getting rave reviews and I get better with each shutter release. This is a great bargin, the functions are simple to learn and soon you will have the confidence and knowledge you need when you're ready upgrade to a higher level camera if you choose. The kit lense is good quality, but you will naturally want to upgrade as soon as you become more familiar with creative photography concepts. Although, I did not buy this camera for video, I have taken good quality movies (of children playing the Wii), with no complaints about sound or the auto focus issues discussed by others. I love this camera! For the cost, it's a great way to get into dlsr photography and build a great foundation.

First off it got four stars out of five cause of the lens it came with. The lens is nice but its cheap the camera it self is amazing just perfect takes some pretty sweet pics if i say so. i highly recommend this product to any one. I bought the 55-200mm lens and I'm in love with it just out standing when zoomed in to 200mm the picture is still clean. I recommend you get the 18-200mm Nikon lens from amazon yes it cost more then the camera but its worth not switching lens ever time you go indoors or out and you never know when you need a close up. Ill see if i cant post up some pics that i have taken there not perfect but I'm learning so enjoy. also a second battier wouldn't hurt to get if your going to be out for some time. the video is pretty good the reviews you herd about it are true but youtube it your be amazed. i just cant stop using it the best camera i ever had. Update: Ok in the pass couple months of owning my Nikon i have to say I still love it. with that being said i have took some out standing pictures with it. Even took pictures for peoples high school pics and other events. Would I recommend this product for first time dslr owners yes. What about long term dslr customers no. I have been getting into HDR photo taking and i do not like having to take three different photos of one object from low light to bright. of stationary objects are easy to do for fast moving objects i have to take in raw and fix myself. so if you are more advance in your photo taking this camera inst for you. If you are getting this for family trips or other then this would be great for you.

I was very pleased when I purchased this camera. I was new to the advanced camera, and it was easy to learn. I was so used to one of those cool pix camera's, that this Nikon blew everything I ever owned out of the water. Now I am by no means a professional photographer, but I have now photographed (and been payed) 3 weddings, numerous maternity, and engagement, and tons more. It is the perfect camera for starting out a small business!

I bought this camera and must have used this for couple months. After that it stopped working. The auto focus no longer functions and i cannot take a single picture anymore.. just go to google and type "nikon d3100 + auto focus problem", you will see tons of folks having this issue. The better option is Canon.

I bought this camera primarily for the mobility and 1080 video, but quickly became addicted to it's photography. There are multiple modes to easily choose from for every type of shot you will need to take. With an automatic and manual adjustment, you can either take the easy way, or do it yourself. There are many different lenses available, but can get pretty pricy. I'm doing just fine with the default lens as it still has incredibly good quality.
