Review: I recently updated my DSLR collection to the Nikon D3100 from the Nikon D70. There are good reviews out there that you should check out. However, I would like to share some of my first impressions.

Pro:
-Better image quality and lower noise at high ISO with the D3100
-MUCH MUCH lighter, which will be nice when traveling
-Larger LCD screen
-11 focus points, including 3D focus which tracks the motion of the subject or camera.
-1080p Video
-14 megapixels
-2nd Generation DSLR
-Quiet, quiet, quiet

Cons:
-No bracketing option. Not a huge deal since I only bracket once a year
-Cannot use my old 50mm 1.8 lens. I knew this before purchasing the camera.
-As of 10/1/2010, Camera RAW for the D3100 is not supported in Photoshop or Lightroom. Need to shoot.jpg + RAW or use Nikon Capture NX2 for RAW files. That should be updated soon, so not a big deal.
-Can hear the lens focusing when recording video.
-No depth of field preview.
-Can't use wireless remote

I'm an amateur photographer and this camera meets my needs. I love the fact that it's small and light, with great quality images. If I were a serious photographer and had more money to spare, I would wait and check out the D7000, which appears to have phenomenal specs. I'm happy with my purchase and I highly recommend this camera.

Yes? No?

It's a good DSLR. But I prefer Canon EOS XS.

Here's a post called 'Buying a DSLR, what's important, megapixels, features, brand, price, quality and which one to buy - http://www.the-dslr-photographer.com/2009/03/which-dslr-to-buy.html

Good luck! The site has many more tutorials, tips, reviews and guides!

I'm assuming that your question is whether it's a good camera or not. The simple answer is YES, but I would opt for the newer D3100 instead. Great features as listed below in some of the other posts, but most of all for less than $600, it's a real winner. You can't go wrong with a Nikon in the first place and the lenses are fantastic, although somewhat pricey. There are a few good third-party lens manufacturers out there that will work just great. And hey, if Oprah just promoted it and gave away 100+ on her show last week, how bad can it be? Just kidding of course, but this is a solid performer and takes great pictures with lots of new features you can use, whether a pro or amateur photographer. Either way, good luck with your purchase.
