This was my first digital SLR purchase and it was well worth the money. I am a beginner - but so far I have taken awesome photos using the auto setting. Get an additional zoom lens for even better pics!

Overall, a very good camera for the price. It has all the features I wanted in a good basic digital SLR camera. However, as I saw in the reviews and am unhappy to say, the camera does not come with the needed USB cable so that pictures/videos can be downloaded to the computer. I thought I had one but didn't. Now I have to go back and purchase one. Nikon should be more customer service oriented and put one in the box.

This is my first ever SLR so take what I say with what it's worth. The camera is very light yet feels solid. Takes very good quality pics and I am still learning the plethara of settings etc.. If you like something that can stand up to cameras costing more then $500 more then this one you should get this one! Love it and the pics look very clear!

I had a casio camera and hated the picture quality and wanted a camera that would take good pictures... I did lots of research and wanted to get a nikon, and chose the 3100. It is a good size and like the video. I got amazing picures on a family vacation and it was easy to carry around. I cant wait to show them off to everyone. I would definetly recomend this to anyone who is looking for a great camer is is seriouse about taking great pics..

My boyfriend bougt this camera for me and I love it. I love taking pictures but have always had a point and shoot and got frustrated with the quality of pictures they took. It's very easy to use right out of the box and there's so many different things this camera can do. I decided to take a photography class so I can learn the full potential. Would definitely recommend to anyone!!

This camera is great! It's my first "real" camera; previously, all I've owned were automatic digital cameras. It's easy to use, and easy to set up. Awesome pics!

The Nikon 3100 is an excellent camera. It would be even better if I had a better memory and could use it's features as intended.
