I agree completely with Kyros. You'd be better off getting a high end point and shoot like the Nikon P7000 or Canon G12 than an entry level Nikon body IMO. The entry level models are fine for daylight landscape and family photography, but beyond that they become a bit of a pain. I only use my D3100 for product shots, which is why it is on the chopping block in favor of money for lenses.
As for the AF system in the D3100, it is the same one that was in the D200/D80/D90, so it isn't really that bad. The D3100 is a lot better than earlier entry level models thanks to the drive mode switch on the top plate.
