My Nikon D5100 has that capability. I am not sure which others do.

My Nikon D90 will do that and it is four years old. I suspect a number of Nikon models will have "dual layer image".

My Nikon D200 has a menu option for multiple exposures where you can take up to 10 images on one frame.
I would think that a lot of the higher end digital cameras will have a menu option to do this.

It depends on thew camera. Nikon D200cN.

From way back when, most Nikons had that capability, and now I notice that multiple exposures are available on the Canon 5D MK III, but I haven't checked any of the other new models like the T5i and the 70D.

Interesting, I had a D3200 for a short time. I must have been wrong about it not being able to do double exposures. If the D3100 can the D3200 probably does also. I know the D3200 does not do automatic exposure bracketing that makes doing HDR blending of 3 differently exposed photos possible. I had tried manually adjusting the camera but found there was too long of a delay for one thing, allowing clouds to move while I fiddled. So I quickly upgraded to the D5200 for the AEB. There was a lot I didn't really explore with the camera; it seemed a great camera except for that. Does your D3100 do two for a double exposure or three? Or more?

And all this after spending so much on technology to PREVENT double exposures, now they put it back in!! AMAZING!!!

Please, don't take this as criticism: I am curious!
Why would you even want to do a double exposure when it is so easy in post processing?
My Ricoh camera could do double exposures. I got this great idea to take a photo of a background of a floral wreath, and put a picture of the face of a little girl in the centre. I fiddled with lens covers: cardboard cutouts to take just the girl's face in the middle; a large hole in the centre of the cardboard, covered by a smaller centre held in place by sewing thread.
Well, you get the idea. After a whole afternoon, and half a film, the results were garbage. Recently did a similar image in PP and it came out a beauty.
Just saying...

Depends on camera model. OMD EM1 has a multiple exposure setting, so you do more than just 2 :-)
The Nikon D7000 does as well. Check your manual.

That is really the function of Photoshop and other programs that create another or 2nd 'layer'. It overlays the image as a transparent or opaque one. You have much more control to move it around and decide how much you want either image to dominate. You don't have any control like that in the camera, and only get one chance to get it right. Why not shoot the two images and perfect the result on a large screen???????

Actually Really fun..I have a canon mount Holga lens and love playing with double exposure. Lomography has it's own little following in the photographic world..It's nice having the option on the DSLR's...120 film and processing isn't so easy to come by now a days.

lwiley...this is your thread...so figure to ask you. If you allow, I will post an overlay/double-exposure done in-camera with the 5100.

Both my Nikon D80 & D90 have It. My D50 does not.I think that once Nikon did the software they put it in all their cameras. It is a lot harder to do in camera than in PP. If you did weddings in the film days doubles were a must do. It set you apart as a "real" Wedding guy. Looking back they were bad. - Dave

Some DSLR's will allow you to shoot multiple exposures. I have a Nikon D7000 and it will allow 3 shot multiple exposure, other cameras may differ.
