Nikon D3100 Digital SLR Camera Body (Kit Box) No Lens Included - International Version (No Warranty)

I got this to replace my D60. I really wanted the D5100 but couldnt afford it. It has all of the basic features I wanted but is missing the additional resolution of the D5100, 14.2 Meg vs 16.2 meg, and the adjustable screen which is OK. The most important thing to me is that it uses all of my lenses and attachments I had for the D60 and uses them as well or better than the D60. Its a very nice camera. It takes very nice HD video. It is limited to 10 minutes but when you think about it thats a pretty long video. Im glad I bought it!

An excellent, simple to use camera for a beginner, or a great lightweight backup camera for the advanced amateur or pro photographer! Im using this camera as a lightweight backup to my D300 and D700. Great camera when I dont want to carry the extra weight of the pro cameras. A couple caveats about the D3100 (I would have given the camera five stars otherwise). 1) It will only autofocus with the newer AF-S type lenses that have a built in motor. The older AF-D (screwdriver type) will work but wont autofocus. (There is a very useful rangefinder focus aid available in the menu options if you use manual focus). 2) For some reason Nikon removed the wireless remote capability from this camera. A little annoying but not a big deal because there are aftermarket options available if you need this feature. The D3100 is no longer manufactured. The current model in this class is the D3300.

I had fallen in love with my D3100 and about the time my grandson arrived, my camera died. I thought about upgrading, but finally decided that I really didnt want any more bells and whistles. I loved the D3100, so why not stick with what I know? Havent used it a lot, but brought it along on a visit to Medieval Times. The show was spectacular, but not terribly camera friendly. Even so, got some pretty good shots. Very happy with the purchase.

This is my first d/SLR. So far, Ive been very happy with my photographic results. The on-board RAW editing and video trimming reduce the amount of housekeeping Id normally do in post on a desktop. WB is the only feature I have set to Auto and its very accurate in most scenarios. I really have only two complaints: 1.) No manual mode for video (although, you can use a flashlight to adjust the exposure and then lock it.) 2.) The LCD screen lights up when Im adjusting exposure in the viewfinders HUD. Also, I feel it worthy to mention that this camera has survived outdoor shoots in torrential rain.

Im a long-time Nikon user. This is a great camera for the price. Very pleased with the product. But once I examined the documentation, its apparent it is in fact a grey market product. Disappointed in Amazon for not disclosing this.
