Thanks to my new camera, my listings have awesome photos.

Takes great photos with little effort in settings!I would defiantly recommend this to the average point and shoot photographer.

Takes great photos with little effort in settings!I would defiantly recommend this to the average point and shoot photographer.

This can make an amateur photographer (like myself) take quite amazing photos, without having to adjust your aperture, shutter speed, ISO, etc.

These cameras take great photos in Auto, but take GORGEOUS photos in Manual.

Easy to use, battery lasts, and love the photos.

I was most interested as I like to take nice photos for my blogging and also practice photography techniques with my children

Great photo's and usability

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)

The auto setting does a great job putting together the right settings, and if you know what you are doing, you can take some really amazing photos with this camera by adjusting the settings.

Perhaps I just don't know how to use it correctly but I am disappointed that even on Auto, I can't get good photos.

Being on a small budget as an aspiring photographer, I find that this camera perfectly meets my needs, earning me some good quality photos and income without costing me a fortune

the photos we can take now are amazing

So far it takes great photos and has alot of features.

It takes great quality photos and is lighter than i thought it would be

It will capture clear photos and works very well with creative shots for the more advanced photographers

I'm still working on figuring out all the setting on this camera, but I have used the auto mode and sport mode, and have captured some excellent action soccer photos of my kids!

For my first foray into the DSLR world I wanted a nice camera that didn't go overboard on the features, but also took crisp, clean photos

I look forward to many years of great photos.

I wanted the ability to take photos of fast moving objects and to generally take "better" photos than standard point-and-shoot cameras.

I admit, it's not as easy to take with you as a point & shoot (can't just stuff in my purse), but when you want to take some outstanding photos it is well worth bringing the camera bag along.

Honestly with little effort, my photos look like a professional took them

Takes a little while to get around the shortcuts but the photos are great in all the conditions I've used so far (dark, interior portraits, landscapes)

This camera is exactly what it claims to be: a DSLR that takes sharp photos and 10 minutes(more or less) of HD video (mainly due to the way Nikon decided to save the file - "MOV")

Outside: amazingly gorgeous photos

It takes wonderful photos and is very easy to operate

I am a Jewelry maker and seller on Etsy and have been searching high and low for the perfect camera to take clear, crisp, well-lit photos

Comes with good basic photo software too

It struggles in low light but as long as you don't edit it too much, it will get a decent photo

And those photos looks super nice on my iMac 27.

getting used to it, so far photo's are very good

I am a throwback from the 35mm SLR days of b&w photography and haven't touched anything but a point and shoot since I lost all my developing equipment, chemicals, papers, and priceless photos in a flood in 1983.

I could go on and on about how great the photos are that this camera takes, but in the end it all comes down to preference, so I will just save you the reading and upload photos I've taken, and give this camera my absolute recommendation as an entry level DSLR.

I highly recommend this camera to anyone who is just starting in digital photography, or anyone who just loves taking great photos but can't afford to buy a professional camera.

It takes very clear, well lit photo's

Where formerly such photos would be blurred by hand motion, now steady shots are possible.

I get the same poor quality photos that I used to get on my cheap Sony camera.

I took the camera on a family trip and was able to take exceptional photos essentially "out of the box".

Good luck and happy photo taking.

it is advanced enough to take great photo's but easy enough that my wife can use it to take herfamily photos

I bought this camera in order to take better photos for my food blog, and HD videos for my media production class

I have always been a frustrated photo-phile in that, because of eye issues I often cannot focus properly when squinting through a view finder, even while using the diopter adjustment (which the D3100 has, of course)- but the Silent Wave auto focus on this camera is wonderful

and I moved around while taking photos of my 2 yr old and wow none of them was blur, even in a darken

I'm amped to finally have the option, after having my dad's old fully manual 35mm, which took great photos but had no digital capabilities, and required film

I highly recommend this camera to anyone who is just starting in digital photography, or anyone who just loves taking great photos but can't afford to buy a professional camera.

many features for the cost, great quality photos, similar to use as my digital Pentex, can use lens from use lens from my old film style Nikon

I have had this camera for about 4 years, it takes great photos, vivid videos and has an overall solid build

Camera feels good in the hands, is intuitive to navigate menus, and takes fantastic photos

I strongly recommend this camera who want to have great indoor photos without flash

It's not always as sharply focused as I want it to be - particularly when using it at work for some fine-detailed product photos

I have been taking photos as an enthusiast for over 25 years and have owned all sorts of gear from Nikon, Canon, Minolta and Leica

It's a good photo camera and takes great low light photos without a flash

It offers great features, which are enough to get great looking photos.

Many photos are worth printing and framing for gifts

If I'm taking photos left, right and center, I do now cheat a little and use Aperture Priority mode quite a

Buy a couple more lenses and you are ready to make great photos.

I have taken some great photos with it, and the images are great

I'm not an experienced photographer, just a mommy that wants to take great photos!!

It struggles in low light but as long as you don't edit it too much, it will get a decent photo

and little by little I learned how to take nice photos and use this DSLR Camera, I think my money is worth

Camera made up for his mistakes, there is not a bad photo in the lot!

It's easy to use, and I can get amazing photos either in automatic mode or in manual mode, if I want to bring out the old photography student in me

It’s an awesome entry-level D-SLR that takes great photos and has many options and accessories available that can make it even better.

It also has a better sensor, but again, if you are on a budget, the D3100 is great, you can buy better lenses later to improve even more your photos.

Good quality photos and my son dropped on concrete and it barely has a scratch on it!

The following contains the positives and the negatives:Pros (what I love about the D3100):-The lightest in the Nikon DSLR lineup (great for my small hands unlike my old D70)-High quality photos (beginners will be impressed)-Takes decent photos in low light environment (although a small external flash, SB-400 is beneficial in very dark settings)-Guide mode for beginners (assist in the learning process of aperture, WB, etc.)-1080p HD video recording (although I have not utilize this feature, I'm sure it will come handy when needed).Cons (what I hate about the D3100):-No in body autofocus motor (which implies old Nikon lens without the focusing motor mechanism must be operated manually attached to the D3100)-The D3100 requires the AF-S lenses for focusing (these type of lenses are normally $100 - $200 more expensive compared with regular lenses)-LCD screen only offers 320,000 dots of resolution (I find myself zooming the screen all the time to ensure focus were done correctly; what a headache!)-No wireless remote option (are you kidding me

Much improved over the typical smart phone photos that we took before this came along.

I can't take rapid photos either...there is a 5 second delay between each photo

I had no idea that there was a camera that existed that would allow me to take such clean, crisp photos as afforded me by the Nikon D3100.

Now I am taking photos like a pro

If you have good composition skills and an eye for light you can take photos worthy of a magazine with this

It's honestly really difficult to take a bad photo with this camera

After years of shooting what I thought were good photos with a small point and shoot camera, I recently took the leap and bought myself this Nikon D3100 DSLR camera.

Some of the pocket cameras do take great photos indeed

It is easy to take good photos using simple category settings for various situations

this camera works great has a amazing resolution, I have a very nice photos, your battery has a long duration, is very light, is the perfect camera in relation to its price and quality

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)

The close up mode and the night mode are to die for and you will not believe how good your photos in low light will turn out

For example, the camera works splendidly and takes good photos even while walking briskly or in an automobile.

This camera takes THE best photos

Perhaps not a fair comparison to the D3100 since the T2i is geared towards intermediate users, but for only $200 you get so much more - in body autofocus motor, amazing LCD, bigger viewfinder, AEB, light and small, and also takes great photos

She loves it, it takes great photos and still operates like brand new.

I still have a long ways to go in terms of learning how to use all of the features on this camera, but I like the photos that I have taken with it.

And that's one of my favorite things abut the camera: I can give it to other people to take pictures as a point and shoot, and they enjoy using it and taking nice photos without worrying about setting stuff

This is a tremendous camera to learn with and takes fabulous photos

Hard to set focus for a good photo

And now that I am pretty well over my initial shock, I have done some nearly 300 photos so far and am blown away at the results !

It takes wonderful photos and is a great camera for the price!

Nikon's Vibration Reduction (VR) technology in the lens allows you to take sharp photos at lower shutter speeds without a tripod

, it's excellent (your photos WILL surely look better than the Point and Shoot cameras) and it's extensible (after all, it is a DSLR right

I am a photographer with Lifetouch portrait studios and this camera is AMAZING, its great for what I spent and it takes amazing photos

This camera came with the camera interchangeable lens you can buy other lenses for even better quality photos it also came with a camera strap two lens covers a Microsoft photo editing and video editing

It needs a better lens to really be useful, but once you have that you're all set to take hundreds of excellent photos.

Our latest Canon P&S is only a few years old, so I honestly didn't really think that I needed any upgrade, but after our first son was born a few months ago, we broke down and bought the D3100 because we were having so much trouble getting good, clear photos of him

Will hopefully get many years of great photos.

The photos are crisp and vivid

love it so far leave in a few days for alaska for misson trip rebuilding church hope to get some great photos wanted to practice with first seems pretty simple and takes great pictures

I also find the automatic settings (auto, shutter, aperture, no-flash) to take very well balanced photos

I am very much an amateur but desperately want to be able to take beautiful photos of my kids.

I have gotten some really good photos, but the only thing is to get used to manually moving the focus

It takes great photos, works with all of my technology, and gives me the tools I need to learn about taking photographs

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.

Given good light this little lens produces exceptional photos.

It has interchangable lenses (though I only have the lens it came with for now), and many features to ehlp make my photos look very good.

This camera has given me professional quality photos that I have been able to use for Christmas cards, family portraits, and just all round great photos for our albums.

I've had this camera for just 2 years, and while it takes great photos and is a great entry-level DSLR, I was heartbroken when it broke on me (specifically the shutter) at the very beginning of a 3-week trip to Asia

Takes great photos, recommend the user thouroughly read the manual via the cd rom as well as take advantage of all the tutorials on the Nikon USA site.

Family has even seen the pictures and asked what we were using to take such great photos

I just use the camera for family photos and some sports events and it takes fabulous, professional-looking photos.

I was already fairly experienced and proficient in the composition aspect of taking a photo as well as in using image processing software such as Lightroom, Photoshop (Elements) and Paint Shop Pro to improve my photos

Landscapes are great as well as personal photos

This camera take fantastic photos and is fairly easy to use.

Easy to use plus it takes gorgeous photos

It takes great photos and having two lens makes it even better

The next step is really to get a few good lenses for panoramic photos on vacation like the Nikkor 55-200

What I will say is that if you want a light, easy to use SLR that takes fantastic photos, this is the one you should buy.

but I'll keep it because it will gets great photos

If you want to go and spend a lot more money, feel free, but buying a more expensive camera isn't going to make for better photos

I have always used compact P&S cameras and have always been happy with most of the results

I still use a compact P&S just because of the convenience they offer but when I am in need of great

Additionally, you can be in a preferred dial (imaging) mode (Auto, P, A, S, M, and so on) and change the release mode to Single, Continuous, Self-timer or Quiet mode (this is located right underneath the main dial) - another great convenient feature.+ (04-Oct-2010
