How much do you plan on shooting in low light conditions (indoors without using the flash)?

On paper the D3100 is better than the 1100D. It is a matter of personal opinion. Go out and try them out, then you can decide which is better.

Hope this helps

Good choice with all features, good overall performance and is value for money product.

D3100 more or less competes with the 550D, and they are priced at around $600. 1100D gives you one stop lower ISO, "only" HD video, smaller LCD screen and 2 less AF points.
