      Comments about Nikon D3100 Digital SLR Camera w/ 18-55mm Zoom-NIKKOR VR Lens Kit, Black:

      this has got to be the best camera I have ever owned!!! I've gone through many many cameras and none of them were as good as this one. I am a beginner when it comes to photography and use this camera mainly to photograph my family with our pets and with my toddler and puppy I have to be quick. this camera is fast when you get used to and learn the different settings for focus, etc. and so far I think my photos look fantastic and a lot better than what I've seen coming from Walmart. I've gotten many compliments on my photos and even been asked if I would photograph others at events and I owe it all to this camera.

          Complex if you are ready for it, yet functions well as a high quality point n shoot when simplicity is what you want/need. High quality photos, long battery life and handy buttons and controls. Great camera for those looking to enter the digital SLR arena with ease and room to grow.
