[QUOTE="hiyamoose, post: 56416, member: 9594"] I've read all the threads, but didn't quite see an answer on which to buy. I'm shifting to dslr from p&s (always had Nikons and won't switch). Looking for high quality photos and not so much video. Got kids and lots of action outdoors and in (in has always been the challenge with lighting). I'm also in So Cal and take lots of outdoor pics, including low-light, night shots, etc. So, I'm trying to decide between these 3 given the 5100's price redux. My wife picked up the 3100 package for me yesterday as a bday gift. I've been talking, but never buying and she got tired of it. Has the extra 55-200mm lens. Haven't opened it and actually mentioned the 3200 to her a few days ago to her chagrin. May return it and go out to get the 3200 or 5100. So, is it worth grabbing the 5100 at the same price at this point as the 3200? Has the bracketing people give mixed reviews for needs on. Also has additional settings, which admittedly I don't know that I will necessary have time to use when shooting the kids at events. Everything happens so fast. If not, is there a real dif b/w the 3100 and 3200? I'm not a pixel-hype guy (nor a newest and best one either) and still pull out the Nikon 7900 when I run out the door, which does some of the best outdoor shots. I'm not looking for poster size prints either. I've seen fantastic reviews about the 3200 though, and most comparisons rate pic quality as better for the 3200. Give some honest advice please! And, thanks! [/QUOTE]
