Eleven years later and this information still holds, I’m new to photography and got a bit discouraged by this model camera and my low level capabilities. But this video helps me learn, function and navigate a little better! Thank you!

Just trying to learn something this quarantine with my camera I haven’t used for a long time. I’m only halfway of your video but I’ve already learned so much.

got my dads old camera for my birthday and had no clue how to use it. 12 years later and these videos have helped me dramatically

A good friend recommended this camera for me and after seeing your video I completely understand why he did!
I love that the camera clearly states what pictures you may take in the easy mode. It allows you time to become comfortable with actually using it and to work your way up to an advance level. Thank you so much for this detailed video!

I bought my camera D3100 yesterday for practicing and this 9 years old video helps me a lot!! Thank you so much for uploading this 9 years ago ❤️

Excellent tutorials, bought a used D3100 to dip my toe in digital SLR having last used an SLR in the days of film. 13 years after you made this content and can't find better.

Just purchased it online. This is the most helpful video among any other d3100 tutorial videos. You just tell us straight basic thing on how to take a good photo.

OMG I just inherited this camera from my son and I didn't even know how to turn it on. Thank you for this and I look forward to the next tutorial.

[CocoandKirby]

This is the first video I found that tells you how to actually work with the camera, other video's are for experienced people. Thank you!

My mom has had this camera for 6 years when this video was posted and I want to get into photography because I'll also be doing art soon so this helps a lot thanks ☺️💞

[WinsLeez]

I always wanted to get into photography but always made the excuse not to. My friend passed away and she left me with a red version of one of these cameras to start what I wanted to do years ago but I had no idea what I was doing with it haha. I know it's an old video but still helping people! Thank you sir.

[TheLEA]

Thank you so so much. I have had this camera for 3 years and never new what the buttons were for until I watched your tutorial and have learnt a lot today ❤️

[JerseySteve]

Just want to thank you for the time you spent, and great detail you put into these D3100 videos, i just got my first dslr, after using a point and shoot for many years, i was really nervous about learning all that it has to offer, and not being able to pick it up and get my moneys worth, but your videos are really helping me understand not just this camera, but more importantly how to use it and get a really nice photo.

[Bik]

You explain so well with good speed and clear audible voice. Thanks. Plz put more videos Sir. Xx

[annieolufuwaol]

Why can't everyone make videos like this? Clear, easy to follow and incredibly helpful. Thank you.

[gahansigdel]

Just got this yesterday from my brother after he bought his new cam, it's my turn now to start. Thanks for this video!
