    d3200 is not a big leap over d3100 and comparing d800 is not right as that is a different league of camera

    unless your d3100 is not faulty - try adjusting to some newer settings and add some lighting for portraits which can help u get same beautiful results as some one would using a d3200

      yes, add lights, also, as he said the D800 is a lot of camera. I just upgraded from D7000 to D600 and love it. The D600 is a helluva camera.

    oh yes to go pro is to have a pro camera. d800 is absolutely the best but if the issue is about money, your opt is to go to older model camera. since your interest in potraiture, you don't need a high speed camera but a fix focal length lense with wider aperture, an umbrella-like reflectors (forgot its name) and a studio.
