Hi Gurus,
Thought I'd tap on the wealth of wisdom you guys have.
I was going to get the D5100, then the D3200 comes along.
Making the choice that much sweeter.
But that much harder.
Thinking of an all round upgrade to my D60.
Pairing it with a VRI 18-200 & 35m 1.8
Taking family/travel shots & the occasional HD Video.
Retail for a D3200 kit will be about $900+/-.
Market for a D5100 kit has already dropped below $1000.
So pricewise should be very close.
Now it's a tough toss up...
IMHO. Both seem to have very comparable features.
Both would be equally good sensors, ignoring the 16MP vs 24.2MP.
I'm guessing the 24.2MP is some variant of the very well regarded NEX-7 Sensor.
Then the 16MP is the celebrated D7000 sensor.
Both shoot HD, have ext. mic input
Why I'd get a D5100.
- Flip Screen
- Auto Bracketing
- Potentially better High ISO perf.
Why I'd get the D3200.
- Wireless iPhone Connectivity
- Wireless Composing/Shutter Control (Might even beat the Flip screen!)
- Potentially better Movie (AF-F)?
- Expeed 3
Both seem to meet the needs more than well.
But a choice of two beauties.
What do you guys think?
Which would you guys go for & why?
