Canon T3, Nikon D5000, or Nikon D3100?
What is the best dslr camera out of these three Canon T3, Nikon D5000, or Nikon D3100? I know the D3100 and T3 are newer, but I've been told the D5000 has more options then the rest of them. Which would be best for a new photographer?
Added (1). I did consider the 5100 but the price tag is a little more then I was looking for which is why I did not include it.
You missed one. The D5100 which replaced the D5000. Of those the D5100 is the best.
If you have the budget go for nikon d90. Which is more for photographers camera
canon and nikon have different system and photo metering method. So choose the brand first.
canon will give you more feature but might be less in picture quality compare to nikon.
nikon d5000 has the sensor of nikon d90 and it has built in time lapse feature. So it would be the best among those 3
T3 and D3100 are better than the D5000, they have less noise, better video and are newer.
The T3 is cheaper than the D3100 and because of that, you get a little bit less - like no control over video. D3100 is right now, the best bang for your buck!
