<p>Hi everyone,<br>

<br />Thanks a lot for your advice and help. Although I'm in a way still a little bit confused about what to get, your tips/comments have been really helpful and I have surely a clearer idea of what I shall expect when going shopping.<br>

<br />The best to do as some of you suggested, is to get the feel of both cameras before actually deciding. However I'm kind of more biased to get the D90 for the time being.<br />We'll see! Thanks a lot guys...much appreciated - all of you have been really great!<br>

ALL THE BEST!<br>

Regards,<br>

<p>Hi,<br /> <br /> I have a dilemma and would appreciate if anyone here can help me. Until a couple of weeks ago I was a proud owner of a Nikon D60 but unfortunately I was burgled so now I have to think about buying another camera. I was comparing the new on the market Nikon D3100 with the Nikon D90. I am starting to get a bit confused on what I should consider between the 2. I made some research and apparently, the D3100 is an entry level camera (like the one I owned before) while the D90 is more of an advanced-level camera.<br /> <br /> What’s a bit confusing for me however is the fact that the D3100 has better mega pixels over the D90 (12M vs 14M respectively) and also has a better ISO compared to the D90 as well, and at the same time it’s much cheaper! Both cameras have a video but it seems that the D3100 produces a better quality HD video. However the “video thing” is not an issue to me as I’m after photographic specs rather than video specs. But as said before, the D90 is 50% more expensive with 2 years older technology than the D3100!<br /> <br /> My problem here is whether to stay on the entry level and get the D3100 or whether to move on to “apparently” the next step and get the D90. Both cameras seem to be an upgrade when compared to my “old D60” but I’d like to know what is the best option considering the points mentioned above and also the price? Considering the D3100 has better specs than the D90 (at least as I’m seeing it), why there is so much difference in price? I mean, is the 50% more expensive camera being the D90, worth buying when compared to the “more spec’ed” D3100? As argued above, at least as regards megapixels, ISO & vidoe quality comparisons, it’s not. This is very strange for me and I’m really confused. There are certainly good reasons to justify this difference in price but would appreciate if someone can tell me what are the reasons and why I should go for the D90 rather than the D3100 considering both are within my budget.<br /> What more could the D90 give me over the D3100? which one should I consider to buy?<br /> <br /> Both camera prices are within my budget so any help will be greatly appreciated before I take a final decision.<br /> <br /> And another thing: I also had the Nikkor 18-55mm VR and the Nikkor 55-200mm VR on my other camera. Should I re-purchase the same two lenses or should I go to the latest 18-200mm VR lens which most of the D90's are coming out with? Does it really change anything having 2 lenses in one? What are the pros and cons of buying one single lens (apart from the price) ?<br /> <br /> Looking forward for your comments.<br /> <br /> Thanks a lot.<br /> <br /> Corolla</p>
