Nikon D3000 or Nikon D3100.....

yesterday i start thinking of a question: should i buy my very first DSLR camera this year or next year during my vacation to west Malaysia..... and thinking of which brand should i choose for it..... in my mind there's only 3 option which is Canon, Nikon and Sony.....

after some advice from my friend i kick off the Sony brand which they think that once the adjustment of white balance was incorrect it may harm our body..... so left only Canon and Nikon which i have to choose either one.....

after some consideration, i think of my friend did have a Canon EOS 1000D model so finally i make my mind to choose Nikon since it's also my first choice among the 3..... but here comes the problem again.....

i need to think of my financial problem as i need it for next semester study and for my vacation to west Malaysia..... it will be a big burden as for next semester i wont able to receive much money from PTPTN as they cut of all my school fees and WPP.....

so try to find a best and cheapest DSLR for myself and doing research during the whole afternoon until night for yesterday..... finally i get it which is Nikon D3000 and D3100..... both are good and nice and the price was reasonable for me.....

but the problem is which should i choose as D3100 is the upgrade model of D3000 and including video recording function which D3000 do n0t have..... besides, D3100 have extra 2 auto focus point compare with D3000.....

the price just hundred something in different as D3100 is the new model which release during August 2010 and D3000 was release last year..... as for the megapixel, D3000 have only 10.2 megapixel whereas D3100 have more 4 megapixel which is 14.2 megapixel.....

other than that the function of these 2 DSLR are mostly the same and both are suitable for beginners as provide easy functioning and nice shooting quality..... so which should i choose for my very first kind of headache and waiting for the selling price for both through my friend.....

here's the photo for Nikon D3000 and Nikon D3100.....

so that's all from me and i think i will buy one of them before my next semester starts..... so bye and see you then.....
