It replaced a Panasonic Lumix with 12x zoom for our trip to New Zealand. The DVD was very useful - it helped us take some outstanding photos especially with the powerful zoom lens at night. The standard lens allowed for some spectacular wide angle shots. The videos were also very easy to record even for our children using the Guide mode. The one star penalty was for the fact that for the perfect shot, you had to often change lenses unlike the Panasonic. On one occasion, in the process of doing so in rainy weather, one of the lens settings got accidentally pushed from auto to manual and ruined all shots. The camera didn't prompt any warning, nor compensated for the blur. I guess the SLRs are not as idiot-proof as the point and shoots and need to be carefully checked for settings every time - not always easy to do when you have a spontaneous opportunity.Written by a customer while visiting Nikonusa.comWas this review helpful?Yes (0)No (0)ReportNice camera, lots of features3/4/2012Average rating:4out of5stars, based onreviews3/4/2012by D3100I've used this for about a year , primarily to shoot my Son's high school hockey games. I'm using a Sigma 2.8 70-200mm EX primarily. I also have the Sigma 2.8 24-70 and a fixed focus 50mm 1.8 Nikon lens. The camera works very well with the lenses for indoor low light action shots. I generally use Aperture priority and set the aperture wide open. The speed (time to take a shot) of the camera is about the only issue I can think of, and in this price bracket it's certainly acceptable. The camera is comfortable to use, lightweight, and very durable. You can use it basically as a point and shoot or get as deep into the feature set as you like. Battery life if very good , I shoot about a 1000 pictures per game in a 2 hour time window. I do have a spare battery, but usually don't need it. I'd recommend the camera for any one new or anyone who has invested in Nikon lenses. I'd make sure though that the purchaser understands the importance of the correct lens.
