I didn’t write in merits that the quality of images, both during the day and at night, is wonderful, because Nikon cannot be otherwise !;) An excellent camera for beginners and for those who are in the tank, like me :))) Although the Canon 500D has bracketing, it does not have such a powerful hint that is so necessary for those who took a DSLR for the first time and want to take pictures not only in mode "auto". I advise! The quality outweighs the price. I bought for 22,900, as the sellers said - a model similar to the nikon d3100 is a canon 550D, which costs 10 thousand. expensive.
