Which camera (slr) should I purchase?

Need a new slr, need a Nikon, my budget is 600 - 800. Would like to stay lower though if possible. I think my price range narrows it down to the d5100 and d3200. What do you think?

The D3200 has the most recent technology.

Unless you really need to articulated LCD, I suggest you buy the D3200

I like the D5100 myself. I have the D5000.It really helps to have an LCD screen that you can face inwards. It prevents any damage when you carry the camera.

I would definitely go with the D3200, unless like the other person said you need the moveable LCD… Its 24.2 mega pixels which is really great quality it is a newer camera with more recent tech.
