[QUOTE="Mediaman09, post: 54984, member: 9503"] First post, and a semi-newbie. I am in my late fifties now, so I grew up on legacy 35mm film SLRs ( Nikon, Pentax) and later whimped out on a number of P&S cameras for the family. Now I am slowly getting back into the game, looking at the Nikon DSLRS and some mirrorless ILC's (eg Samsung NX20).... but I will likely land on Nikon. In the Nikon line up, its between the D3200 and D5100 ; both are about the price, high megapixel , etc [B]The differences to me that I need to get my head around are :[/B] [LIST] [*]auto bracketing (big advantage 5100) .. new concept for me -is this a only a factor when manually setting exposure??? [*]articualting screen (advantage 5100) [*]microphone/speakers ( both have mono mike - does 5100 has speaker??) [*]release date (state-of-the-art) - advantage 3200? - but only if known issues have been corrected/improved - have they? ) [*]wi-1a wifi (advantage 3200?? or can it be used on 5100? how does it differ from Eye-fi? ) [*]weight ( slight advantage 3200) [/LIST]Would appreciate any thoughts/clarifications on the above. Many thanks. [/QUOTE]
