[QUOTE="ksrigg, post: 81863, member: 11127"] I own both cameras, only recently buying the 3200. Both camera are fantastic, and you would be happy with either. As has been said before...put your money into lenses. With the bargains out there today on the D3100, I would go with it. 14 megapixels is plenty, if the lens is there...If I remember correctly the digital camera sent to Mars on the Rover was something like a 1 or 2 megapixel camera with probably one of the most precise lens ever produced. Look at some of those images... WOW is all I can say. I have had the 3100 for over a year, and the 3200 for less than a month. The major difference between the two is resolution, but to be totally honest, if I had lens equal to the camera, I don't know that the 24 megapixels are really needed. A lot of pros recommend setting the 3200 to "medium" resolution anyway, saying anything above 10 or 12 megapixels is really not needed. Either camera is going to make you really happy, but you can buy a 3100 (either refurbed or used) with the 18-55m kit lens for under $400.00, while I have not seen the D3200 for less than around $700.00 (not many available on the used market yet). I think they are both fantastic cameras, capable of producing images which are indistinguishable from ones shot with a top of the line "pro" model.. [/QUOTE]
