I am impressed .This is my first DSLR and I am loving it.
First thing I should tell here so many ppl has mentioned very constructive comments in the review. Before buying this DSLR I was pretty confused on which one to buy say in my list
Nikon D3100
Canon 1100D
Canon 550D
Nikon D5100

But I dont have lots of money per se. After doing so much research I opted for Nikon D3100 coz the gripping was so good in my hand than any others.

I have tried Canon 550D too ... it is a good camera to be ver...

Lets begin!
Nikon , one of the best camera makers -- we all know right.
Again the company has done it with D3100. If you are a regular digital camera user and buying this as you first DSLR you will fall in love with it at first look (really).
The basics;
You can get the specs from any where you want so i am not wasting in writing it.
Still, i will have a say about the image sensor size which is the heart of any camera and trust me this has a golden heart. If you wish to know the conversion of...

Purchased this about 3 weeks back, and am amazed at its performance:
- My decision to buy Nikon D3100 v/s Canon 1100D was not bad. Though more expensive, the feel in hand, compactness, sensor size, HD movies capability, 3" dispalay, rubber grip tilted my decision towards Nikon.
- excellent image quality & low noise at 14MP, even with flash.
- Kit lens has its limitations, but ok for me to begin with experimenting.
- I manual focusing for macro / close up shots much better than autofocus.
- Th...

Its been 8 months im using it n im totally happy with this camera. Has all the feature that you might expect from a camera. The 18-55mm lens which come with the camera is good for general purpose use but it wont be long before you start feeling its limited zooming ability. So, be ready to buy a zoom lens soon.

It has good battery backup, user friendly ,easy to operate. the most recommended product if you are thinking to move from your point n shoot to SLR..Its the best in its range..for sur...

Great quality of the best camera brand i'll rate it 9/10........The D3100 DSLR comes with an AF-S 18-55 mm lens that is fitted on a Nikon F Bayonet mount. This DSLR is compatible with several NIKKOR lenses, thus giving you an opportunity to experiment with several types of lenses. The aperture of this Nikon DSLR ranges from f/3.5 - 5.6, while the shutter speed has a wide range of 1/4000 - 30 seconds. The shutter of the D3100 is an electronically controlled vertical-travel focal plane shutter,...

I have been using my D3100 for about a year and half now. When I bought it then it was for 29,000 with kit-lens. I see that the price has not dropped much - that tells something about its credence.

When it was launched, buying this was a no-brainer- it was simply the best entry level DSLR available in the price range then. But now a D5100, or maybe Canon 550D if you can stretch a little, will be a better VFM buy IMHO.

The only thing which troubles me with this camera is the absence of brack...

I got my first DSLR a few days back. It is a Nikon 3100D. Its an awesome camera in a descent budget. I got some photographer friends with this cam, and the results are amazing. But I think the price in flipkart is a little higher than local stores. Anyway about camera its the best one for a beginner. It got quality, style and potential.

if you are looking for a DSLR camera within a budget of less than 25000 rupees this is the one DSLR camera from Nikon everyone can go for because no one can get any better DSLR camera in this price range from any other manufacturer like canon or sony or whatever it is this DSLR has all the primary features which a DSLR camera should have
Nikon D3100 Key Features

14.2 megapixel DX-format CMOS sensor
3.0" LCD monitor (230,000 dots)
Image sensor cleaning (sensor shake)
11 AF poi...

Summary:
Great starter to DSLR for beginners like me
Easy to learn photography with this camera
Excellent performance for the price
Will recommend a tripod (if you are very serious about photography/night shots)

I have been shooting using my point & shoot camera till date and wanted to upgrade to a better camera. At the same time I was intimidated by the myriad terms and features associated with a SLR. After due research, I had ordered this gem of a camera on Flipkart and got it delivered ...

I've been researching on several entry level DSLR's (Canon 1100D, Sony SLT A35 to name a couple) since over a few months and finally narrowed on this marvel. Reasons to go for this and not the others are:

A: Slightly larger sensor size.
B: More megapixels (I know it doesn't really matter but helps if you're to crop your shots).
C: Higher ISO capabilities.
D: Overall better value for buck.

Review:
On first use it really does not feel like an entry level DSLR at all. As a matter of fact, Even...
