The quality exceeds all expectations, I recommend to buy.

A good camera for use in professional activities, for those who have previously used a digital semi-professional camera, who are engaged in artistic photography, who shoot sports events, who need video in a camera, who are engaged in reportage (journalistic) especially those who have already used cameras and know what focus, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, exposure, With the help of the guide mode, you quickly learn to take photos with aperture priority, and create "bokeh" the d3100 is much better than the Canon Eos 1000d kit, maybe even better than the Canon Eos 500 for the new year in 19999 years of using film cameras and an old Samsung s850 digital compact, switching to the D3100 is just "heaven and earth") take something easier and cheaper on an extreme trip, so put 4 for ease of use) until you earn money with the device, "fixed or telephoto" from 8 gigs), but carry 2 about the auto mode) In general, take pictures and you will be happy !

Pros

1) A light camera for a DSLR (During the day of photographing I didn’t feel that I was wearing a brick floor, I didn’t pull my own burden) 2) The rate of fire is 3 frames per second (important for photo shoots, when it’s important not to miss a frame, shooting fast-moving objects) 3) The presence of automatic red focus points, which of course can be adjusted manually 4) High ISO (light sensitivity) - 3200 and above = Low noise level, which is important for shooting in dark places (until you have purchased an additional flash) 5) 14.2 megapixels (among DSLRs up to 20220r is buzzing (and the price itself is good) 6) I was pleased with the help mode - Guide - a very important thing for beginners, it will teach you how to use aperture and shutter speed correctly) 7) The screen seemed clear and understandable to me, although only (230,000 points) .8) Japanese company, Thai assembly (In a word - Nikon) 9) Fully charge the battery in just 1.5-2 hours, holds the battery for a long time! . (and there are batteries for photos that are fully charged in 16 hours, ! ) 10) New model - sales start Sep October 2022! (of course, many people want something fresher . ) 11) The possibility of good photo editing in the device 12) The presence of Full HD 1920x1080 Programmable Fn button (although there are only four parameters - not many) with manual focusing ) Light display mode during a slide show (IMHO: a cool feature) which delight the eyes with their high quality.

Cons

1) Shooting the 1st video clip is only 10 minutes, and the sound during video shooting is monophonic. (But do not forget that this is still a camera, not a camcorder) 2) No cable for connecting to a computer in the kit (however, it costs only 100 -200r), many netbook owners have a slot for a memory card 3) The battery drains pretty quickly when shooting video and using Live View mode 4) A cap on the lens without a lace (it's not scary if you buy a good bag for a DSLR) 5) Lack of white balance bracketing and exposure 6) Expensive Nikon lenses (But we will fix this shortcoming) 7) In poor lighting, autofocus may not work . 8) The program that comes with the package for processing files in RAW mode in English (I use a different one) 9) May fail when outdoor use at -30 degrees. (tested for 12 hours)
