Based upon the video each camera can produce, the D3100 is the better choice.
* D3100 - Full HD video (1080p) and full auto-focus when in the video mode
* G2- HD video (720p) with no mention of auto-focus in video mode

You can't even compare the D3100 to G2.it's much better. It's not even a DSLR, the G2.

Get the D3100, it's the best DSLR out right now for beginners and more experienced photographers.
