Best entry level camera, researched a lot before finally buying it. Good in capturing kids precious moments. Was initially confused between point n shoot vs slr, point n shoot response is slow.

Battery life is awesome and delivery was quick.

Flipkart did a great job with the package for me.. got it in proper packaging in 4 days.

The camera actually was a pure entry-level SLR camera.. whereas I misunderstood it as better than the non-SLR high mega-pixel cameras. I will still take time to understand the real quality of SLR photos against another non-SLR, compact higher megapixel, half the rate camera I have.

This nikon is particularly only 10 MP and has only 35mm zoom with the lens that comes with the package.. which is I guess a...

This is my first DSLR. Those who want a budget DSLR and good quality pictures this camera is certainly the best choice. This camera has a nice built, not much heavy to carry around, good grip. I am very satisfied with the picture quality too.

This is not the camera for professional photography or for some real high quality shooting. It is very good for everyday shooting.

the camera bring the best in beginner photographers and gives out-most perfection to meticulously taken pictures. The user guide it comes with on the camera helps the users to constantly update and refresh memories that help them to take very beautiful picture.

The video part is also go but has small effect of adjust when switched from different objects

In case you're short of budget, but still interested in photography, this is the camera you should go with.
Availed this at a remarkably low price of 21.7k in Jan. Simply amazed with the quality of product. If you know how to operate a DSLR, you'll be able to get mind blowing shots. On screen resolution & low light performance are the only turn-off, rest everything is simply great. Macro shots are not that great, you'll need a separate lens for those.
In case you're just starting off, guide ...

Got the camera from Flipkart within 3 days and at amazing price of 21.5K

I feel it is the best entry level DSLR that you can purchase to get started. The lens is elementary and useful for everyday shots.

Lens is a critical requirement if you want to do some advance photo techniques.

Overall pretty good for the price!

I purchased this from flipkart 1 month back. It's a good product but not great. I just want to compare it with D5100 which I also have.
1. Quality of picture is good and you feel like it's almost similar to D5100 pictures even though it's 14.2 mega pixel
2. Features are almost similar like D5100 except few like you have less option of ISO settings which is important
3. The worst part about this product is it's display screen resolution is very less if you compare with D5100. You cannot say p...

This is my first DSLR and I should say that it fits in well for a novice, from a price as well as features point of view.

Note: The following is not from comparison with other entry level DSLRs

pros
+ value for money
+ VR lens work well, avoiding shaky pictures
+ camera bag is decent
+ good for learning photography in manual mode
+ less bulky

cons
- wireless remote-shutter-release-accessory not available from Nikon

Thanks !!

Nikon has developed a habit of making very attractive entry-level DSLRs, which are rarely the best specified but cleverly designed so that they're easy and enjoyable to shoot with. The D3001 fitted this pattern perfectly.
The D3100 is built around a 14.2 megapixel CMOS sensor, bringing not only live view but also Full HD video capture to Nikon's entry-level model for the first time. In fact, this made it the first Nikon DSLR to offer 1920x1080 movie recording. It can only record clips up to a...

I have ordered Nikon D3100 DSLR on 28.01.'14 @ 11pm and I Received the item on 01.02.'14 afternoon. It was carefully packed to avoid damages in transit and found in good condition. The free 4gb Memory card was sticked on external plastic wrapper with cello tape was not easy to find out and about to throw away with it. Otherwise the packing was so good. I am not a "Photographer" but interested in that art.. earlier i have been using Nikon FM 10 SLR film camera. when the film cameras became par...
