    Great product, the automatic mode is great for beginners, but the manual mode is as useful for an advanced photographer or a quick learner. I would recommend this for anyone who likes taking pictures.

    Enjoy camera! Have used Cannon, Mamyia cameras but like the functionality of the Nikon. The D3100 has plenty of megapixels do not have to pay for something bigger that I will ever need.
