Mid-March is when I purchased the camera. I have been choosing a top-notch SLR since the fall. My first choice was the Sony A450, but it's simply impossible to find. Many suggested Nikon, so I chose the D3000 at first. However, after learning about the D3100, which turned out to be significantly better, I decided to buy it and almost don't regret it. White balance is missed by automatic modes, which are foolish. Because of this, the guide didn't use the mode. I have experience using DSLRs; I previously used the Sony A200. The battery can be used continuously for a few days. I urge everyone to:
