Lol I just replied to you in your complaining thread. I have a Nikon D5100, and I love it. It's a great entry level DSLR for a decent price.

Thinking about picking the D5100 up while I'm up in Chicago.

I was torn between the D5100 and the Rebel t3i from Canon. I ended up going with the t3i but they are both great entry level dslr.

Also, not sure where you plan to buy, but the best prices I have seen anywhere were always on Amazon.

What about just a T3.... I can't afford the "i".....

T3 was a great camera as well. the largest "noticeable" difference will be the swivel screen. The features and pictures they take are comparable.

I'm heading to Best Buy after work to play with one. Might be swapping the PowerShot for it.

From what I read, you should play with the cameras you are looking at. Unless your a professional, most of these cameras' performance will be on par, so you should find the one you like the best as far as size, weight, grip, layout of buttons, menus, etc.

I might be just messing around with 'em and making a decision, but yeah the purchase would likely be online. I'll just have the time to do it in the evenings while up there.

I think one of the things that's a nice feature on the D5100 is the sliding switch that changes from still shots to video. It's more convenient than twisting the mode dial on the T3i.

I haven't yet used the video feature on my dslr. Most of the time that's where my phone/gopro come in. especially since both of those take 1080P video as well.
