I have narrowed down to NIKON D3100 and CANON 1100D. My price range is 25 to 30K. Feel free to suggest any other cam but please specify why its better.

Any dSLR is good for beginners, since they all work the same, whether you pay $700 or $40, 000

Here is how the sensors of those two compare

Are you into shooting in low light? The results of these tests will help you decide which is best for you AFTER you visit a camera store and actually hold both in your hands

Either camera would be a good choice. They are both entry-level DSLRs, so they are both beginner friendly. They have similar specs too, so at this point it all comes down to personal preference.

To really figure out which one is better for you, you have to test out each camera for yourself at a local camera/electronic store. Each brand has a specific user interface and similar button layout for their cameras, so you can decide which one is more comfortable for you to use by comparing those two things.
After all, it's your money, it's going to be your camera, so it only makes sense that you choose the one that suits you the best.

I don't about another camera, since i just rooting for Canon more and i'm not an camera expert so…

me & my friend are a newbie ones. 1 have canon 1100d and she has the D3100 nikon.
i have used those both camera.
1100D:
this camera is great, as for outdoor. As you can see the the specification
well, as many site said that this camera just an improve from his brother, 1000D.
but totally i guess it different [my opinion]

3100D:
great for indoor. They almost the same. Just because my friend love editing, this camera can edit pic, crop and else. But not for canon.
this camera also great, but i don't know, i never feel satisfied after i take a pics.
both the camera can record.hmm 720 HD if i not wrong?

they both just great. But i recommended canon more.really, i don't know why

I've got a Canon 550D and I'm pretty happy with that one.
I can make a really nice pictures and it's easy to use and understand in Manual.

Nikon D90 is a bit old but still a good kit for beginners.

Both those cameras will give a beginner quite a bit of help.
