Canon 550D is a very capable camera as you can see from the posts of our various members. What kind of photography do you want to focus on?

Hi...I am a Nikon shooter with keen interests in Landscape, Wildlife and Birds photography. I have a D90 + 18-105 VR + 300mm f4 lenses.

Now, my wife is also keen in getting into photography. Her interests are - Nature/Landscape, Travel/Street and wildlife photography. We have shortlisted to buy D51000 or D3200.

What is your opinion on these? Which one should I get? Please feel free to recommend any other body or system.
Thank you.
