Hi Guys,

Looking at getting my 1st DSLR for my 30th, have narrowed it down to the Nikon D5100 or D3200. Want to stick to Nikon as my sister has len's I can borrow from her.

Thoughts on the two models?

Cheers
Andrew

D5100 all the way. The only major "advantage" of the D3200 is its higher resolution. However, this isn't really even an issue. How many A0 or bigger prints are you going to be doing? None? Thought so.
The only thing significantly better than the D5100 is the D7000, but I don't think the price jump is justifiable.

Did you need it tomorrow?
Online will always be cheaper, if you're able to wait a few days.

Should also mention that JBhifi do import direct and price match to DWI and the overseas sellers.. The range is limited though.
