Looking for Answers about Nikon Nikon D3100 14.2MP DSLR Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens, 3" LCD, HD Video?

According Nikon.com and other sites I visited to research this camera, the charger comes with the camera. What is not included is your USB cable and any memory card. You can check Crutchfield.com and ABT.com too.

It does have a built in flash that pops up when it's needed.

Yes, this camera has the Live View option.

Of course, it is an SLR camera... that's the whole idea behind them: you can exchange lenses depending on the distance to the target or the degree of focus/background distortion you want to accomplish, and you can focus the lens manually if you want.

The D3100 does have the Live View feature, but not on the D3000.

The battery is good for 1000s of pictures in a single charge, since this camera not only comes with a good battery but also operates differently than a point-and-shoot camera (it dose't display the target on the LCD, but you have to located it through the viewfinder). Battery life is reduced dramatically when used as a video camera (which is not its primary intention), it can record videos in HD.

Regarding the memory card, it will hold as many pictures depending on the size of the memory card you buy... the camera per se doesn't come with any internal memory that I know (unless you are buying it in a bundle). I purchased a 32 Gb SD card separately and it holds dozens of 1000s of pictures before having to clear it...

The lens is detachable, and you can change lenses, but you can use only Nikon lenses.

I looked at all the specs on both of these cameras. I wanted another SLR and it was going to be one of these 2. The reason that I picked the D3100 was because of the mp's being higher, and it was a better price. When I got it, I found out that there were more edits on this camera than the D3000, and more edits than what was listed. If you want a higher zoom, you'll have to buy an extra lens. I would suggest the 300mm or higher, although 300mm isn't as much as you would think it would be. It's technically less than 1000 feet. If you do buy an extra lens, I would also suggest auto focus.
Good luck with the new camera, whichever you choose and enjoy.

Yes, Nikon Digital SLR cameras have an auto switching (from 100v to 240V 50hz/60hz) battery charger that will work in most countries around the world. A/C adapters have similar characteristics. Always check the specification plate on your other battery chargers or A/C adapters as third party products may not support dual voltage systems. We do not suggest the use of third party battery chargers and A/C adapters with Nikon equipment.
Note that the cord included with the Nikon charger or A/C adapter is designed for 110 volt use only. A power cord suitable for the local power system should be obtained on arrival, most airport shops and computer suppliers will carry these items which are typically used for laptop conmputer power supply connections. Be sure that the new cord you buy fits the Nikon adapter you wish to use it with and that it is rated for the voltage in your new location. While not recommended, a simple plug adapter may be used, but caution should be taken as the cord Nikon supplies is not rated for the higher voltage and may heat or fail.
