Nikon D3100 Camera Review?
I'm wondering what the Nikon D3100 is like. Are the picture qualities good and proffesional? Does having more MP mean the quality of pictures is better? Do they look proffesional?
Google it
read the reviews
then you can make an intelligent decision
You are missing the entire point. First you need to do more reading about digital photography.
Professional is a term that applies to people who make their living doing photography. The d3100 is a consumer level dslr that produces high technical quality. But, unless you are well schooled in the operation of a dslr this doesn't mean your photos will improve. It also means that you will have a learning platform from which to begin, if you're serious about photography.
Looking professional? What does that mean? Professional photography involves many different things.
The main three are photography talent, knowledge and skill, lighting and last the quality of the equipment. Notice I listed the equipment last because the first two are more important.
There's no camera that has an autopilot to give you professional photos.
Professional photos are the result of the skill of the photographer knowing how to use the camera. In the right hands, a D3100 can provide professional results. In the hands of an neophyte, you are going to get bad photos.
Professional in - professional out.
Garbage in - garbage out.
The D3100 was / is a very good entry level camera. In the right hands with someone who knows what they're doing, it can produce " profesional " results.
It's been replaced by the D3200.
Here is a review of the D3100 written by professional camera testers.

As far as them shooting "professional looking" images, that is all up to you and your competence using a fully adjustable camera.
Most of my "professional" photographer colleagues have spent a minimum of two years studying photography at a uni, community college, art school or better a photo school. They also have spent a few years working as an assistant for a working pro or as an assistant photographer for a newspaper, magazine or public relations department in a large company
Just buying the "right" camera will not automatically make your ho, hum snapshots look professional. They will still just be snapshots, but high quality ones.
