chosed canon EOS 1100d after a lot of research....was confused with nikon d3100... a breif comparison: picture quality- both of them does wonders n there is nothing much to notice between them... build -no doubt about it that nikon beats canon in this respect, canon is lil plasticky controls- canon leads here with much simpler and good ergonomics. interface on canon also looks quite proffesional.. however ,nikon provides a guide mode which make the things bit easier but i dont think it makes much sense ,coz anyone going for SLR must be having a basic photography concepts. range of lenses- this was the factor which made me choose canon as canon is fitted with an inbuilt focusing motor ,which nikon d3100 lacks. ,so all lenses autofocuses on canon but not on nikon d3100. only AF-s lenses autofocuses on nikon which are 2-3 times costlier than the AF lenses.so,if u want to use 50mm f/1.8 lens ,which is the most affordable and wonderful lens available on canon and nikon both, this will autofocus on canon 1100d but not on nikon. on nikon u have to manually focus or spend around 13k on 50 mm AF-S f/1.8 which is twice as costlier than the previous one. so,if u want d-slr for looks -nikon if for image quality- nikon or canon either affordable photography with good lens compatibility- always canon
