Nikon's D3100 followed the D3000 as a worthy successor to that camera in their entry-level tier. The D3100 remains today, in 2023, a good camera for still images even though the video capabilities lag far behind almost everything made now, including cell phones. This video manual series provides a complete tutorial walkthrough and review to help a photographer of any skill level understand exactly what all the buttons, features, and menu items on this camera do.
