I am a Nikon person and always have been since last 50 years. But I will not go for any of the Nikon mentioned in this article. Both Nikons are old and have been superseded by new models 5100 by 5200 and 5300 and 3100 by 3200. Still they are good cameras but over priced all because they are 3 to 4 years old designs. Do some research before you part with your cash.
