Is Nikon D3100 SLR digital camera worth buying for?

Is Nikon D3100 SLR digital camera worth buying for?

Only if you think so.

Check out the competition from Canon, Sony and Pentax. Having said that, it isn't bad.

Yes it's a great entry level camera
I have a D200s and I still use my D3100 because it is so simple to use.

It's worth buying if you actually plan on learning about photography. Spending 500-whatever-dollars on a DSLR is pointless if you plan to use it just like a point & shoot.

No. You got it all wrong. The question should be, "Are you worthy enough to handle a dSLR?"

If you think that having a dSLR in your hands makes you automagically take fabulous shots consistently then you're wrong. It takes a working knowledge of the basic principles of photography to work with a dSLR.

All dSLR's are basically the same. If you know how to use one, you can use them all. Is it worth buying? Yes, only if you know photography or are committed fully to learn photography.

No, not at all. Who wants one of the most successful entry level cameras? Better get a sony!

Yes it is! But if you have more budget, I suggest instead of D3100 get the D5100. More reviews at http://www.topdigitalcamerassite.com

It really depends what camera you're looking for. In my opinion, all nikon cameras are worthy of buying. It has excellent quality. I think I may even buy one myself tomorrow. Literally!
It's a great entry level camera for beginners or teens like myself.
