[QUOTE="jdeg, post: 61769, member: 1"] Could you get the d90 for cheap? If so, I would rather have the d90, just because of the in body focus motor. Which means you can use AF lenses with it, where on the D3100, you'll have to manual focus. The D3100: [LIST] [*]can do video a lot better (1080p vs 720p) and has auto focus. [*]ISO on the d3100 is also better in the upper range (12,800 vs 6,400). [*]is lighter (455g vs 620g). [/LIST] The D90: [LIST] [*]can do 4.5fps where the d3100 can do 3fps. [*]has exposure bracketing - D3100 does not. [*]battery life on the D90 is also better (850 vs 550 shots) [*]higher resolution monitor [*]can command flashes that have the CLS system, which is useful if you want to remote control a flash. [/LIST] So basically, you're probably not going to get better pics with the D90, and unless you need to use AF lenses, exposure bracketing, or any other of those specific features, I would stay with the D3100.
