Why does a 24.2 mp Nikon sell for only $599 when a 12.2 mp Canon sells for $449?

[yioties]

Another topic destroyed by Nikon versus Canon which btw i have shot with the D3100 , the D3200 and the T3 (Forgot to add the T3i too) and settled on getting the D5100.

Actually it was addressed, but if you'd like a more complete and total debunking of this nonsense, ok - sure. It's not like it will really matter, as you will only see what you wish to see.

The more you say things like that, in advance of what I say no less, the more I am convinced you are talking about yourself.

Even on the objective sensor tests the difference between a D3100 and a T3 when it comes to high iso/low noise is only about 0.3 Fstops, so not a huge difference between the two really. So when we examine your incredibly subjective testing methodology used over at DPReview, we really shouldn't see a huge difference between the two images as far as noise. I wouldn't expect there to be - nor would anyone with an ounce of objectivity.

I'm unclear what's subjective about taking identical photos in fixed conditions with both cameras. That would seem to be pretty near the definition of objective.

The D5200 is just as out-of-scope as the 6D is.

They are posted above. Black seems debatable, but every other photo seems to go strongly in favor of the T3.

Here's the T3, D3100, and D5200. Without looking up the images, can you tell which is which and put them in order?

The 3000 series is a beginer camera and the 5000 series is a little more advanced of a series. The d3100 is an older version that was parallel to the d5100. The d5200 is newer and again is also more advanced than the d3100. Prices are still close because Nikon gear holds it's value very well. I would still go for the d5200 if I were you just because you won't outgrow it as fast.
