Reviews around image (4.49 of 5)

  • Image quality and noise reduction are excellent for this camera.. have been very happy withthe purchase so far
  • I love the fact that it's small and light, with great quality images
  • THIS CAMERA HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED MY FAMILY'S PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE.We were TIRED of "point and shoot" cameras and their HORRIBLE performace (blurry images, bad light, bad flash, slow action, slow flash, slow recharge time, slow everything, and everything
  • Pros: Very nice image quality (my primary concern), easy to use, includes reasonable editing software
  • Pro:-Better image quality and lower noise at high ISO with the D3100-MUCH MUCH lighter, which will be nice when traveling-Larger LCD screen-11 focus points, including 3D focus which tracks the motion of the

Reviews around feature (4.36 of 5)

  • It is an entry DSLR camera that comes with great features for the price!
  • As the title suggested, the D3100 is an excellent camera for anyone new to DSLR photography; however, its features are insufficient for intermediate users seeking to improve their skills and techniques
  • It's compact, but lacks some more professional features of the more expensive ones
  • It provides great features for the novice as well as for the experienced
  • 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....

Reviews around shot (4.33 of 5)

  • It is excellant for learning how to compose and set camera for great shots
  • Gone are the days of missing candid shots because the point and shoot hadn't focused in on the subject.
  • However it only had 3 focal points and on occasion I would miss shots.
  • It teaches you how to set up the camera for fantastic shots.
  • I have been very satisfied so far with my D3100, and have gotten some very great shots.

Reviews around lens (4.00 of 5)

  • Lens that comes with the camera is very limited and only good for closer range shots
  • For such an expensive camera + lens, I don't understand why Nikkon doesn't include the cable (UC-E4 USB Cable)
  • You will never buy a better lens for the price, although the manual focus sucks
  • If you are a serious photographer try a camera with better lens.
  • Camera works wonderfully and a great starter camera and lens.

Reviews around focus (2.26 of 5)

  • the ONE.(Nikon D3100 may produce excellent images with Pro Modes like P,S,A & M, but certainly not in AUTO mode)Comments added on JAN 31 2011.I explored more on this D3100 Camera
  • I shoot landscape photography exclusively where I like everything to be in sharp focus - that is, great depth of field
  • The rest of DSLRs are missing auto-focus in movie mode and you have to focus manually
  • It's great having the camera snap a photo when you press the shutter compared to a much slower focus on a point-and-shoot.
  • The auto focusing gives you many options, and when used correctly, the focusing is perfect and sharp.

  • the ONE.(Nikon D3100 may produce excellent images with Pro Modes like P,S,A & M, but certainly not in AUTO mode)Comments added on JAN 31 2011.I explored more on this D3100 Camera
  • I wanted the ability to take photos of fast moving objects and to generally take "better" photos than standard point-and-shoot cameras.
  • Guide modes are also helpful to start right away taking pictures of flowing water, night portrait, moving objects, etc
  • of stationary objects are easy to do for fast moving objects i have to take in raw and fix myself

Reviews around vr (1.44 of 5)

  • Nikon's Vibration Reduction (VR) technology in the lens allows you to take sharp photos at lower shutter speeds without a tripod
  • Nikon ships the D3100 with the 18-55mm AF-S VR lens, offers a very affordable 55-200mm AF-S VR telephoto, and my personal favorite, the 35mm f/1.8 AF-S lens.
  • The VR prevents you from taking unclear photos if your hands are shaking while taking photos - great for children, elderly people or excited people, like me, sometimes :)I love the portrait mode and the fast shutter mode (for taking sports photos)
  • Worst case is that I spent $100 extra if we don't like the VR and turn it off
