Nikon d3100 or d5100?

[veernikonl120]

Hi I'm really confused between d3100 nd d5100. Is really worth spending Rs.7000 more on d5100?

The D5100 has a better performing image sensor, particularly at high ISO settings which are used in low light situations. DxOMark - Compare cameras side by side

Which camera to choose depends on how you will use it.

The D5100 w/the standard kit lens is $800 USD: Nikon D5100 16.2MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens

The D3100 w/the standard kit lens is $600 USD: Nikon D3100 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens

They are both great DSLR's. But the D5100 is a higher level than the D3100.They both take amazing pictures so you really can't go wrong! If you can spend 800$, you can get a D5100, or a D3100 and use the extra to buy another lens with it.

I'm a beginner and I just bought the D5100 and I love it. I don't think it matters if you are a beginner or not. It all depends on what you want and need.
