Question about
From a quality/price perspective, should I buy a Nikon D5100 or a D3100 ?
Or another brand ? I've been using my sister's Canon EOS 400D and my Lumix FZ18 until now.

dae's pick
Get the D3100, save the $$ and spend it on some more glass. It's slightly more entry level and still outputs great photos. Really good to learn and develop dSLR skills. If your going to do loads of video shooting maybe go for the D5100 with swivel screen and higher fps or want instant access to tweek settings.

Quality wise.. You really don't need the 16.2 megapixels with the D5100 depending on what you're shooting.
Trust me, like i tell anyone..
You could use a damn iPhone as long as you know how to play with lighting. It's all about skills and experience man. It's very possible to get amazing quality photos with 6-8 megapixels.
Honestly, unless you're switching to a camera with an FX Sensor, you don't need to go the extra mile with the D5100.. Not at all.
