Which first DSLR to get? - 1

I'm looking to get my 1st DSLR. I've been researching it for so long that I've almost confused myself more because obviously every camera has some negative reviews. I really want the Canon 5D or 7D, but I think that is a little too much for me to spend right now. So I've narrowed it down to these three cameras…

Nikon D3100
Nikon D90
Canon EOS Rebel T2i

What do you all think? Pro's/Con's? Or other recommendations?

I'm leaning towards the D90 because it seems to have more functions & isn't an "entry-level" camera. I'm also planning to start out by getting the camera with just the lens kit it comes with on Amazon, so keep that in mind when you are recommending.

Here are the 3 camera's sensors compaired: http://dxomark.com/...nd3)/Canon

As you can see, the "best" sensor would be the Nikon D90

Here's my take on things:

Who cares if someone calls a camera "entry-level" vs. If they don't, as long as it's capable of producing professional-quality results? These photos were taken using a Rebel XSi, which is technically not as good of a camera as any of the ones you listed.

Of the cameras you listed, my favorite is the T2i. If you like doing video, the D90 will be the weakest option. If you want easier video, use the D3100. If you want more options with your video, use the T2i. Don't worry about megapixels with these, you can print 40x60 with 12, so it doesn't really matter.

If you want to get over the video drawbacks for D90 as mentioned, how about trying the new D7000? But i would prefer a D90.
D3100 does not have auto focus motor in the body.

The Nikon D3100 doesn't have an auto-focus motor so you will be stuck on manual for the vast amount of Nikon lenses.

The D90 is a great camera. If you like it, buy it. That simple.

The T2i is also a great camera, but not in the same class as the D90.

If you want a camera that will give you better ISO performance than any of them, then have a look at the Sony A580.It uses the same sensor as used in the Nikon D7000 (it's a Sony sensor).

If you want a camera that has the fastest video autofocus, a 100% coverage Electronic View Finder and a scary amount of new functions like HDR, sweep panorama, multi-frame NR etc., then have a look at the Sony A55.It too uses the same sensor as the A580 and D7000.

If you wait six months, you'll see the Sony A77 being announced and might just regret any purchase you do now…
