D3100 or p500
i would say that this is my first camera and i will be starting photography using, but i want something that is good both the cameras are good. I think that p500 has also manual setting that are good for beginners. Any other suggestion my budget is not more than that of what d3100 is. And p500 is much less costlier. Please suggest what should i do. I'm amazed by the quality of nikon cameras.both have hd movie record

The P500 is a high end bridge camera, the D3100 an entry level D-SLR. The P500 has a killer zoom. But the D3100 is for a more serious photographer.
I have had the P90 for over a year and am very happy with it. I don't think you'd be disappointed with the P500.It can take high quality photos.
