I bought this camera about 2.5 years ago. So far satisfied with the purchase. For novice users (amateur photographers) a very suitable option! For such a long service life, the Nikon D3100 has never found defects; worked properly. Image quality is good. In general, this model fully justifies its price. For beginners it will be very useful. Take it - you won't regret it! Compact and handy. Light in weight, easy to use. BONUS! Advice for newbies: shoot in manual mode (adjust ISO, aperture and shutter speed yourself), because The weather is always different, and the manual mode will help you adjust to it. In this case, the picture will come out beautiful. And "sport mode" will not hurt you if you shoot fast-moving objects (children, vehicles, etc.)
