This small camera is really good. Photo quality are excellent. from ISO 100 to ISO 3200. The guide mode is very good to set the camera to a particular situation. The camera feels very solid. The autofocus 11 points is fast with the ViewFinder You feels like a pro. The results are superior than the D5000 or D90 at 1600ISO and 3200 ISO The video mode is light. It is not a camcorder. But the video is good. The sound is mono but I knew that. I didn't buy it for the video mode. I already have a CANON HFS21 which is better than any DSLR. The price is reasonable. you can buy the D3100 , 18-55, 55-300mm , 35mmf1.8, SB700 for the same price than a D7000 ( which is not superior to the D3100 up to 1600 ISO. it is maybe a bit better at 3200 and better at 6400 but not that far). I highly recommend it.
