Which camera should i purchase?

Nikon d3200, nikon d5100, or cannon t3? Or others in that price range?

I second http://snapsort.com/...om/compare All THE WAY. I just purchased a new DSRL myself almost a month ago, but before that I was torn between the T4i, a couple of Nikons, and a Pentax. Snapsort helped me tremendously by putting up a raw technical versus statistic side by side for each camera and they also included features that one had but the other didn't. Check it out.

BTW: I went with the T4i

Simple. Get the D3200 and then start buying top of the line lenses.
