Great camera - very pleased. For anyone looking for their first DSLR, I highly recommend it. Easy to operate, functional, inexpensive, takes great pictures - in a word, you will not be disappointed. I chose my first DSLR between D3100, D5000, Pentax K-R, Canon 500D. I read a lot of reviews, reviews . As a result, I decided to touch it once than read it 1000 times. I reviewed and turned all the cameras in my hands, tormented the sellers. :))) But still I came to the conclusion that nothing is better than the D3100 - easy to operate (this is important), functional, inexpensive, fits comfortably in your hand, and indeed pleasing to the eye and soul :) In a word, I liked it more (although this is very subjective).
