[QUOTE="DraganDL, post: 256813, member: 18251"] It's very easy to make a right choice in your situation, at this moment (regarding the availability of camera models at the moment): case number 1: you want a good camera, at the lowest possible price - D3100 is the right choice. As cheap a DSLR as it gets, yet only marginally differing from D3200. case number 2: you want to invest more, and to obtain a camera that is SIGNIFICANTLY better than those belonging to "entry level" - it's a D7000. Why that model? Because it has all the CRUCIAL benefits like being able to use it's light metering system with the non-CPU lenses (old lenses, from analog era, with no electronic contacts at all, very cheap nowadays, yet very good performers); being equipped with the motor drive that enables auto focusing with the AF-D type of lenses (older, yet very good lenses that ARE capable of auto focusing, only that they do not have their own electro-motors, but rely on the camera's drive instead) etc. Simply, with this camera you get almost all advantages (versatility) of the "pro" model(s), except the full frame sensor. D7000 is much, much more affordable than 7100 and almost as good&versatile... [/QUOTE]
