[QUOTE="paul_b, post: 175706, member: 15676"] Hi I've already made the transition from a compact camera user to my current camera which is a compact system camera (micro 4/3's 16 megapixels). I'm now about to buy my first ever DSLR. I've narrowed my selection down to 2 models, the Nikon D3100 and Nikon D3200. I'm finding i cant make my mind up between the two of them, and is how I've ended up finding your brilliant website. The D3200 has a much higher megapixels count. However, after reading posts on your website I'm not sure if that's a good or a bad thing. Why? One of my main reasons for wanting to upgrade to a DSLR is the better image quality that the bigger image sensor gives (especially and importantly in low light/indoors conditions). I've read that bigger megapixels count means smaller pixels on the sensor and can lead to poorer image quality in low light conditions. I usually do find myself cropping most of my images and sometimes quite a bit can come off. Has anybody owned both models? If so, when in low light conditions (i.e indoors) is there a significant difference in performance i.e shutter speed, noise and image quality etc, or does the newer technology in the D3200 somehow compensate? So in a nutshell: - I'm a cropper. - Want better low light performance from a new camera compared to my current camera. - Is the D3200's bigger megapixel count a good or a bad thing for me? - Price difference isn't really that significant. - So, D3100 v D3200?
