It's been a brief time on here that I have dwelt in D3100 land. I shall still feel part of the community but I have now secured a D7100 on eBay so I expect to be hanging with the 7100 guys shortly. The 3100 has been the most fantastic introduction to the world of the DSLR, and could have been all that I needed but there are elements of the 7100 that will help me push this hobby even further.
