Nikon D3100 versus Panasonic Lumix GF1, which one would you get?

Guest

I'm having a hard time picking one of them and just wanted to hear other peoples opinions. Which one would you personally get and why?

The D3100 no question.

The D3100 is part of a huge professional system of cameras (both APS-C and full frame sensors) and over 60 lenses.

The Panasonic is part of a new 4/3rds sensored camera type that has NO full frame cameras, now or in the future and a limited number of lenses.

It is also is one of the only entry level dSLR's that can auto-focus in the video mode.

Assuming you are not kidding, I will suggest the Nikon D3100 over the Lumix.

The D3100 is a DSLR, whereas the Lumix is not and has a smaller sensor with way fewer lens options.

Seems to me like asking if you should get a ten-speed bike or a car.
