"Image quality is definitely the D5100's trump card. It offers effectively the same image quality as the higher-end D7000, at a lower cost."dpreview.com | talking about the camera's image-quality
"Unintimidating interface, but with plenty of manual control."dpreview.com | talking about the camera's button-layout
"At low ISO settings, the D5100 is on a par with the best of the competition, but at the higher ISO settings, it produces some of the best image quality that we've ever seen from an APS-C camera."dpreview.com | talking about the camera's iso-noise

I am using Nikon P500 since last 3 years and planning to upgrade to a DSLR. This will be my first ever DSLR.
My Questions are :-
1. Which is the best entry level DSLR with Budget below 30K ?
2. Preferably Made in Japan (not sure if it makes sense) ? Where can I get it in India (preferably in Pune)
3. Nikon or Canon ?
4. What kind of lens?
5. I will use it for atleast next 10 years. So please suggest which will be the best one in my budget
6. I am an amateur photographer. But have keen interest in photography. I want to grow and learn better photography, so upgrading to dslr. Also planning to join some professional photography school once I get a new camera.
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards
What will be the best lens combination (within budget) with Nikon D5100 for wildlife photography?
I have a Nikon coolpix S3100 and I was looking at Nikon D5100 because I want to get into photography and I was wondering if this would the camera to start off with, since I already have my Nikon coolpix S3100.
i have been using point and shoot and now i am ready to upgrade.i have a number of questions.a. shud i go for dslr or try mirrorless. my photography expert friend said ......dslrb. i was disappointed to read that video shooting is not that good in dslr coz video continuous auto focus is a problem....and audio might catch the lens focusing noise.c. now amongst dslr, i have to decide between d3200 and d5100. both cost same. difference is d3200 is 20% lighter in weight, has expeed 3, 24 mpixels, wifi, guide mode and so on, while d5100 is time tested, it has auto bracketing, screen tilts and adjusts and so on. which one to go for.what am i looking for?well....i was looking for a device to shoot both video and pics.....but after reading that videos wont be that great.....nw i am looking for nice pics.....i have a research mind....and i tend to like the idea of bracketing. this gives me more chances of getting the perfect shot coz i wud be getting 3 shots. now right here i wish to clarify.....is it dire necessity to have a tripod to shoot those 3 pics....i am told ....all 3 shud be taken without shaking camera....i wont use tripod......but i can try to keep hand stable. like i said...i did like the idea of having one over and under exposed shot. now the software that comes with the nikon....will it be enough to do the editing for final pic on laptop or will i have to purchase another software.in real life...is bracketing done frequently...or no.
what i like in d3200 is light weight, guide mode and so on.....but i dont know.....if d5100 is technologically more advanced.
last thought.....d3200 is recently launched while d5100 is old and therefore d5200 is expected. but i guess it will be significantly more than d5200......may be it will be too costly for me. so lets stick to 700usd mark and decide between d3200 and d5100.
kindly guide.
thx
