Yes, but it eats the batteries for external flashes like the SB-900. You might want to look at the SD-9 battery pack in that case.

In a few ways:
The D3100 is 14.2MP while the D40 is 6.1MP
The D3100 newer technology (about 9 years worth).
The D3100 has a 3 inch view screen while the D40 has only a 2.5 inch.

Is manual focus achieved by rotating the lens ring by hand, or is it motorized through use of "up/down" buttons?

Rotate by hand (the focus and the zoom rings), but make sure your lens is set to "M" before you do.

First you need to be in one of the manual modes. Press the info button on the bottom left of the camera and select the ISO you desire on the right of the screen. You can go as high as Hi2 (which is 12800)

No you can not, there is no mic input in the D3100, that would be in the D7000. You could though use an external recording device like the Zoom H4N and sync in post production, which instead of a mini mic input you get pro XLR with many other controls and features than what a camera would have. Also if you have an assitant the Zoom would allow you better mobility and movement as you are not connected to camera.

Most of the time, yes it will. However, you will not get all the benefits of using a lens designed for the D-SLR.

Yes, it will fit, but you have to take it to your local bestbuy and have the Geek squad mount the lens for you, make sure you tell them is a code green priority, otherwise they will charge you $19.99.
