I don't know how the D3100 compares with the D7000 but I find the noise from that is gritty and objectionable compared with the D200. Being fairly fine noise it responds well to noise reduction but then the detail goes, so back to square one.
Not sure if the D3100 is different to the D7000.
From day one (you will recall my discussions with Phil?) I questioned the colour fidelity of the high ISO noise of the D7000. Under mixed and uncontrolled lighting it can introduce colour 'blotching' which may not be as obvious or objectionable to many but personally I preferred the D300 purity, more film grain like appearance.
Having said that, I have come to enjoy the results from the D7000. I have even gotten use to the smaller body size! it's a very capable body under most circumstances.
I only use the D200 for IR so can't compare its noise colour to the other cameras. But it does also seem to have more film grain like noise.
