I also found that nikon pictures look amazing when manipulated through photoshop cs4, canon looks geat but not a sharp. (everyone looks for something different)
Now for videos, I love the fact that my nikon auto focuses. alot of people find this a tad annoying but most of the time I set up my camara in a tripod and it does an amazing job. for example, holding up a bottle and it fo uses on the lable in seconds. I tried to do the same with the canon but it blurs a bit before it focuses ( i'm meticulous i know).
Everyone is just looks for different things in a camara. Just do a lot of research before you buy your camara!
They are all missing in D5100 - you would have to go through the menu and spend at least few seconds.
Nikon D5100 has slightly better ImageQuality, LoWLightPerformance, LowNoise on high ISO compared to T3i.
Canon T3i has less failure (came died) rate, Better Video Quality & better Customer support compared to D5100.
with those who say Canon is superior for
video. It doesn't totally blow the D5100 out of the water, but the
advantages are there. The Nikon has a little more noise with the exact
same ISO, shutter and F settings. Maybe for photos this isn't the case, I
don't know... Also, as others have mentioned, the control
on the Canon can be completely manual.
One big difference is the full
HD digital zoom. That is awesome!! And I really like the
60fps option at 720 the Canon offers. If I need to get more frames for
slow motion, this is nice. I wish it were at full HD, but at least it's
there at all!
That's my two cents. Good Luck!
Now having said all that, I covet higher end Nikon models so I am thinking of getting a refurbished or used D90 just to get my foot in the Nikon door, but would probably be happy with a D5100.
Snapsort strives to be non biased, the D5100 is your best bet if you are looking for better image quality, you can see how well it ranks on our score page. Hope that helps.
