Its a great camera especially for someone who has just started using DSLRs. The range is great and you can use your imagination to get whatever results you want. The only thing which is lacking is a good zoom, which I learnt is the same with all DSLRs. You need to buy a separate lens for that. Start using one and you will know!

I just bought this camera few days back, this is my first dslr, I am new to Manual mode but coping well with different composition situations till date based on the outputs I have got.

I chose this over Canon 1100D as it was a better choice after checking reviews and after using both little bit in camera shops etc :) .

Pros:-
Good Grip
Kit lens (18-55) is good, you can take decent bokeh
Autofocus system is supposedly good, it has a 3D tracking system although I use manual focus most of tim...

I bought this camera almost a year back not from flipkart but i bought my Tamron 70-300 mm lens from flipkart, its an amzing camera in its price there is no alternative Of D3100, very good in HD video, Easy to Use and excellent indoor & Outdoor picture quality,

I must say that for amateur photographer the Nikon D3100 is best camera...where you can catch the wonderful moments of life/nature with you imagination.

The image captured by Nikon D3100 are crisp and clear, and ya lots of settings so need to read a manual and some of the website to know how take better image ;-)

The product reached late, but its worth product at cheaper price then other online shopping website.

My recommendation - Go For Nikon D3100

Amazing for beginners,specially teen who wish to upload good pictures on social networking sites :) Heads-up to NIKON for this amazing camera. Guide mode is not required much really but helpful is under the guidance of a PRO photographer. Auto focus isn't much help either but we all know what is landscape and portraits e.t.c !

The Camera has an excellent look with fine picture quality. It is handy with a good camera feel. The major drawback in this camera is the Manual Zoom. Even cheaper Digital cameras have a digital 12x zoom. The zoom should have been much better and operational with a button. This is a major disappointment.
The Flash is weak and does not cover even 10 ft distance. I wish Nikon could improve these features at this price.

Great product, best camera in Entry Level DSLR category!

The camera looks great, has a very good build quality and a nice grip too. The Flyer/Manual which came with the camera is very useful to understand its various functions for beginners. The 'Guide' mode is really awesome to understand your new camera better. While initially I was in a dilemma whether to go for Canon 1100D or this one, finally, I feel, my choice was a right one. Could have been better in terms of performance in low light.

Zooming? we are talking about a DSLR here, not a tiny sensor P&S camera. If you don't know what you are talking about, don't make such stupid, joke of the 21st century comments. DSLR doesn't deal in Number X zoom, it uses the term focal length to specify its reach, the 18-55mm lens that comes with a d3100 is a decent lens, if you need to take faraway stuff you have to buy a telephoto lens, ask any real photographer, photography is not about zooming, they zoom with their legs, many of them op...

I have done lots of research, I am confused between D3200, D5100, canon 600D and sony a58, but all of them little expensive and I get this on Flipkart @21k. Its a too good a deal to miss and now I can spend my money to buy some lenses. If you are new to DSLR photography it will give you enough satisfaction.

Hats off to flipkart. mind blowing service. they deliver me within 2 days.

Downside of this camera is that it is launched in 2010 and also the screen's resolution is poor and it doesn't...

Your Review was a good one, but have little inaccuracies, i too have been using this DSLR for 18 months with sb 400 flash and i bought it for 28500 then. The thing is that it can continuously auto focus while video recording and been one of the first entry level SLR to do so. The problem with video recording is that, it can only shoot 1080p at 24fps. While many other entry level SLR's can do it at 30 fps. The continuous auto focus can cause noise in the video which is a drawback.
