The D3100 an the entry-level DSLR from Nikon, but the list of features and specs will surprise you: the 14.2 megapixel CMOS sensor is at the heart of this camera, giving it ISO 100 to 3200 (with a high ISO 12,800 option), 3 frames per second continual shooting, 1080p 24fps MPEG/h.264 video with continual auto focus, an 11-point autofocus system with 3D tracking, 420-segment RGB II metering, automatic image sensor cleaning, in-camera retouch options (including trimming of video clips), and a built-in pop-up flash.

Here's my review of the SanDisk Extreme SDHC card:

How come you close the flash everytime after you take a picture? Is it just to keep it clean and safe?

[ThoughtsMedia]

@Linbaaaby No real reason - why have it open during the video?

[TannerBitches]

Jason, anyway you could give a tutorial of how to get blurry backgrounds?

[ThoughtsMedia]

@TannerBitches Sure. 1) Set the camera to aperture priority [A] and dial it down as low as your lens will go. 2) Put your subject in front of a background where nothing is behind them for at least 10+ feet. 3) Focus on their face 4) Get blur. :-)

This Dude gives some pretty good Reviews. I wanted to get this camera but it seems like too much tech stuff for me to handle since i'm a beginner.

[ThoughtsMedia]

@BrandonCaribStyle98 Here's the nice thing about a beginner DSLR like the D3100: you don't need to know anything technical to start using it. You put it in "green box" mode and just press the shutter release. It has built-in guides that will help you learn how to do certain things, such as getting a blurred background. If you're looking to take a first step into photography, this is a good start.
