I bought a D80 for about $300 with a kit lens last year. The extra dial and top LCD made it extremely easy for me to learn all my camera's settings and to change settings on the fly.
Nikon D3100 vs D90 - Our Analysis
The only thing the D3100 wins is the extra stop in ISO.
I've since upgraded to a D7000, but comparing the photos I've taken with both cameras, the D80 gave me such rich colours that I can't seem to replicate with my D7000. I believe the D90 colours are on-par with the D80. |
TBH, I've only looked into Canon cameras. Only reason I know about the D3100 is due to people comparing the t3i to the D3100.
Since I'm just a beginner, I obviously want to get the best bang for my buck at a low price. Don't want to invest too much and then have a tough time selling the camera out if I don't like it.
