Reasons to choose d330 motion
Released in 2002, d330 motion has about 21 mm² of sensor area, 3.34 MP effective resolution, and a 180 g body. Use these values to narrow the field, not as an overall image-quality score.


The d330 motion and dc 3100 have the same sensor area. Compare pixel density, sensor architecture, and release generation to understand likely image-quality differences.
These cameras were released 1 years apart. Consider sensor generation when comparing pixel metrics.
Amber marks the value that is generally preferable in this comparison context. It is not an overall camera score.
The d330 motion and dc 3100 have the same sensor area. The dc 3100 has the lighter body. The d330 motion has the higher effective resolution. The dc 3100 is the newer release. Also consider the lens system and subjects you shoot.
Released in 2002, d330 motion has about 21 mm² of sensor area, 3.34 MP effective resolution, and a 180 g body. Use these values to narrow the field, not as an overall image-quality score.
Released in 2003, dc 3100 has about 21 mm² of sensor area, 3.1 MP effective resolution, and a 160 g body. Use these values to narrow the field, not as an overall image-quality score.
