For people looking for new DSLR camera, stop, this is it, Nikon D3100 is for you When intentionally
overloaded by myself on continous shots, it will clear the buffer very
fast (ADL on if you're wondering). Image sensitivity at high ISO is great
acording to random reviwes, but I'm still waiting a prof test. But
think about it, on Auto ISO the range goes to 3200 and I can't
see any noise. You can shoot everything with Nikon D3100.

My Own Review
After more than 1,000 shots with this camera in the last 2 weeks, I'm
very glad with the purchase. This lightweight and fast device is a joy
to use! Very lightweight, and great looking design.This Nikon feels
great in my hands, the build quality seems sturdy and looks kind of pro
even for it's smallness compared to bigger DSLRs. I love how I can set
the func button to control ISO or other stuff like White Balance.
The lens included with the camera is very very sharp, so far I cannot complain. I'm amazed at the clean images I get with ISO 3200 indoors! Wow, that's something that we couldn't say a few years ago with these cameras. I've already had pictures published in the newspaper set at those high Isos, and no problem... They look great!!
I also love the option of setting Picture Controls and Auto ISO. I usually set my camera to Portrait or Standard plus a little bit of saturation.
I have already taken lots of photographs indoors without flash, portraits outside, candids indoors and outdoors, and even handed the camera to my brother (who knows nothing about operating DSLRs) for shooting parts of a concert and he got some beautiful pictures!! And that's one of my favorite things abut the camera: I can give it to other people to take pictures as a point and shoot, and they enjoy using it and taking nice photos without worrying about setting stuff.
I really don't care about video capabilities, nor liveview. I rarely use them but when I have done it, I've liked what I've seen. My only complaint is the battery, as I think it drains quickly compared with other cameras in the similar category I've seen. So, for recording my life in those moments I don't mind carrying something bigger than my ultracompact, the Nikon D3100 is perfect. I wouldn't bother to carry something bigger or heavier. This is the perfect balance.

I'm an amateur photographer and this camera meets my needs. I love the
fact that it's small and light, with great quality images. I'm happy with
my purchase and I highly recommend this camera.
