The image below is a scan of the yet-to-be-announced D3100 (from Nikon Rumors), animated with a shot of the D3000. It will swap between the D3000 and D3100 every 2 seconds.

There are a few clear differences:

• A slightly more compact body, with a more rounded profile (especially to the right of the lens mount).
• A taller mode dial, with what appears to be an extra switch/lever around it. This is quite possibly for easy access to video shooting (the camera is expected to support a 1080p movie mode).
• No infra-red sensor in the grip (below the red triangle). This camera may not support the ML-L3 remote.

Can you spot anything else? Also, if anyone can send admin@nikonhq.com higher-rez scans of the article, we'd be very grateful.
