I shoot with a d5100 also have the d3100 ... I mainly use the d5100 because of the articulating lcd ... Im super happy with it i would choose the 3200 over the 3100 but i wld choose 5100 over 3200 strictly for the swivel lcd ... Unless u are planning to get a external monitor.... Heres my youtube channell to check some videos out ... I think the top 9 vids are all with the d5100 .... Brian Staples - YouTube .... Also sub to the channel
