The T3i for having a full HD video but I like the 12mp resolution of the T3 better.

Wow, lots of advice here. May I suggest a little fore-thought here? There are rumors in the wind about a major company merger that might happen this year due to the earth quake and tidal-wave in Japan last year. My advice would be to go with Canon because they have the dollars for R&D and they're people/customer oriented. However, now that I have shot my mouth off - if there is a late model camera for sale in a store the odds are in our favor that it's going to be a good one, hence they're all good. As the old quip - some drive a Ford, others a Chevy, so it is with cameras. May the choice be wise and the lens sharp.

So... would the merger give us a Canikon?

As previously mentioned, it all comes down to your personal preference of the way the camera feels in your hands and which of the user interfaces appeal to you. You have a decent pick of starter camera there. I can't comment on Canon as I've always used Nikon due to my heavy investment in their glass.

I can suggest skipping the D3100. You will outgrow it's abilities and quickly find it's limitations. If you chose to go the Nikon route, a used D5100 or D90 would be better. 

Just my two cents.. yup.

i got the Canon Rebel T3, but i was looking a Nikon, but i went for a Canon because it was slightly cheaper for the same features. And i happy i went for the Canon, it comes with a detailed PDF instruction on a disk in a bunch of languages, plus it came with a few different image processing/editing programs.

I have the D5100 and love it sooo easy to use it is my first DSLR. But I heard someone say once" It's not the camera it's the person behind the camera. If you know how to use a camera you can get great shots with a point and shoot." Good luck I am sure you will get great pictures from which ever camera you choose.

they are all good, I took the nikon 3100, I was gonna get the Rebel or the 90, but it was out of stock, and the 3100 just sorta sat there saying take, take me, and I got a free 16 gig card, and you can change lens, but shop around, bargain !!!, and if you go pro, this may help
