Conclusion
It´s amazing how much image quality the Nikon D3100 packs into its small frame, it easily holds its own against the sea of mirrorless interchangeable lens competitors. If there´s one drawback to the camera, it´s that it trails behind its competitors in video. For pure shutterbugs though, that´s no big loss, especially considering just how good the image quality of the D3100 is. That, combined with its small size and ease of use, makes it an excellent starter camera for someone looking to try their first DSLR camera and don´t want to get bogged down by weight and too complicated controls.
The bottom line: Don´t let its small size and low price fool you, the D3100 packs a powerhouse of a photographic punch.
