  RAW format support
  darktable uses two libraries to read RAW files. Most common RAW formats are read via the RawSpeed library (by Klaus Post), more esoteric RAW formats not supported by RawSpeed are read via LibRaw (which in turn is based on Dave Coffin's dcraw).

BTW did you check with the Rawstudio

Perhaps the only real issue with the Nikon D3100 is the lack of USB Mass Storage mode.
