The right product for me, there were no problems.

The device is positioned by NIKON as a family device - the size is larger than soap dishes, but smaller than professional ones. The quality of the pictures is much better than on the "soap box" (the nickname stuck, apparently due to the characteristic blurry quality of the pictures :)). Do not rush to throw away the soap dish - when riding a bicycle, for example, the D3100 will still be heavy :(. But I personally already threw out the video camera (even when I bought a CANON IXUS 100 mini-camera with HD video).
I advise you to immediately purchase a better lens. I bought the body myself (on the box it was written kit 18-55 VR, the company apparently removes the lenses itself and sells them for a couple ofcheaper) and the 18-105 VR lens with a stabilizer.
I recommend it to everyone who does not have enough quality of shooting with soap dishes, as well as to those who once (like me) shot on ZENIT ET as the first digital SLR.

Pros

1. Small, light - compared to older models. Quick focus, good rate of fire - in comparison with "soap dishes" :). 2. Video - 1080 lines, 24 frames per second. - normal. 3. A nice feature - focus points flash red lights in the center when autofocus is triggered. 4. Good viewing angles of the screen - when shooting "overhead" in LiveView mode, everything is perfectly visible. A swivel screen is not required. 5. High ISO - working. Noise is noticeable only at high magnification.

Cons

1. The size of the device is well suited for a small palm (almost perfect for a woman). Therefore, I mainly hold the lens with my left hand. 2. The video button is combined with the LiveView lever - it is difficult to push through with your thumb (due to the size) - you have to use your fingernail. 3. The moves of the control buttons and menus are small, without "clicks".
