First of all I struck between the choice of Canon and Nikon. Once I have seen the body build quality and features of this Nikon D3100 DSLR, I could not even step to the next rack. The image quality of this camera is really fantastic and supports recording HD Movie with1280 x 720 and 30 fps and that is cool...!
Price of this Camera is very much attractive and Nikon has came out with its own Expeed II image processing engine.I am happy with this camera and really competitive price when compared to its equivalent in Canon 550D/Rebel T2i. (15, 000 INR Approximately higher)
I recommend you to buy a Nikkon 35mm f/1.8 D prime lens along with its kit lens. This will get you really professional level snaps in indoor night shots.
