D3100 vs D5000? Consider than the D5000 is better, and better in the important matters. More solid body. Better speed (4 fps vs 3 fps) (important for wildlife photography, the animals will not pose or wait for you), better color depth (not so much, but diufferent: 22,7 vs 22,5) and MUCH better dinamic range (12,5 vs 11,3 EV) (also important for that kind of photography). Forget the overweighted megapixels question, it makes no real difference 12,3 vs 14,1 MPx. In this same page you can find the comparison between the two models, and the auto-mathematic sheet will say that the winner is the D3100... but note that the D5000 wins in the REALLY IMPORTANT points, as the D3100 wins in less important questions. Sorry for my bad english.
