Hi! I just need some help and advice. I have watched so many videos regarding these very good cameras and read all the review but somehow I still can't decide what to get. I really need some good camera for my photography class this coming semester so I'm thinking of the Nikon D600 or 5100 but I'm not planning to be a professional or to make photography as a business. I'm more of a travel person and just want to take some portrait and street photos that's why I'm interested in the nex 7 but I'm hesitant that it can give me some SLR quality photos. Also we're going to do a lot of short films next sem. Which of these two are good for videography. I'm still a student, amateur I'm willing to read all your thoughts and consider them. I'm sorry for my bad english, its not my language but I'm trying to learn: D thank you in advance

Added (1). @fhotoace thank you for your reply! My friend have the 5100 and its good. I'm considering the nex because of the size but I still haven't seen it nor the d600. I suppose the good thing to do is really visit a camera store: D maybe camerahaus since its near me: D thank you again

It appears you have not done your research

The Nikon D600 is a full frame camera

The Nikon D5100 is a cropped frame camera

Both use optical viewfinders so can shoot action more accurately than one with an electronic viewfinder like the NEX cameras

Further, here is how the sensors of those three cameras compare.

You also need to visit a proper camera shop and see how they feel in your hands

I'd go with the Nikon D5100.It's a great upper level entry level camera.
