[QUOTE="crycocyon, post: 337303, member: 13076"] I haven't had the pleasure of owning a D3100 but actually wouldn't mind owning it because of its size and light weight. And yes it is still a Nikon DSLR. I think if I had that as a starting camera I would be working just as hard to take great photos, and would take it just as seriously as a photographic tool as anything else I've used. I was actually considering a D5100 or D3100 as a camera for my wife but ended up with a D7000 just because I wanted the flexibility to use FX lenses down the road. A saying by Ernst Haas: “The camera doesn’t make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But, you have to[B][I] see."
