Tested and working Nikon Coolpix 3100 digital camera in silver, released in 2003. The camera has been tested for power, lens operation, zoom, autofocus, buttons, LCD, flash, photo capture, and memory-card storage.
Please note that the camera’s operating system is slow by modern standards. Startup, processing, menu navigation, and saving images may require patience. This is typical of early digital-camera technology and should not be expected to perform like a newer camera.
Important battery-door condition:
The plastic battery door has a visible crack near the latch area. It currently closes and holds the batteries in place, but this model is well known for battery-door latch failure. The existing crack may spread or break completely with continued use. Open and close the door carefully. Because of this known weakness, the camera is being sold AS-IS with no guarantee regarding the future condition of the door or latch. I'd suggest a peice of gaffers tape to help support it.

Working with noticeable cosmetic wear from age and use. The body has scratches, scuffs, finish wear, discoloration, and small cracks in the exterior plastic. The original feature stickers remain attached. Most importantly, the battery door is cracked near the latch and may eventually fail. Please examine all photos carefully for the exact condition.
