I'm a typical weekend shooter, looking to buy my first DSLR. I've got your standard P&S for convenience, but I'd like a better camera for things like my kids' sporting events, trips, macros (nature, fish tank...), whatever... but also for times when I want to have more control over settings, or get creative with a shot.
So, assuming similar quality lenses, is one better suited for me than the other? On paper the Canon seems like a better body, but for someone like me, will I notice the differences enough to warrant the extra $150?
dpreview.com (where I've done most of my reading) seems like like canon stuff better than nikon. The canon got their gold award, but they have yet to do a full review of the D3100.
I guess what I'm really wondering is how much things like resolution, sensor size, and pixel density really matter to someone like me.
