Even I used to think in your lines just before going for the EOS600D. But in real world you will hardly or ever go beyond ISO3200 trust me,its one of those rare situations. The noise that they are talking about is only visible when you highly magnify the JPEG images which we dont. Next if shooting in RAW the noise is not an issue at all. Whats the point of buying a DSLR if you are not shooting in RAW and playing with Apertures and ISO and Bracketing. Im very happy with EOS600D image quality. But then you wont go wrong with either of the Cameras. The D5100 has major flaws too like no DOF meter!Bad Video shooting.You cant change the Flash Sync/Trigger settings and slightly under exposed images in my eye atleast. I have seen IMO that Nikon tends to falter with the Blue color while canon does it with Yellow.
Both have flaws and both are good too.

WoW... EOS600D with 18-55 Kit Lens for 26K where? Could you share with us. Thats Awesome.
You get a 8GB card and the DSLR bag in the combo which otherwise is Rs 1500 more. The combo deal can be had for Rs 34,500 to 36K thats a good bargain price. For Video just press the shutter halfway and it focuses instantly.
Manual focus is easier with a faster open-aperture lens, IMO.

Nikon camp is not as bad you think incinerator 
If high ISO in D5100 is not worth much then even video in DSLR is not worth that much ...it really depends person to person.
Also DOF button needs good viewfinder which these D3xxx, D5xxx or 5xxD and 6xxD dont have...you will find it difficult to use. we can always use live view to replace it.
Also just check the price of canon lenses against nikon lenses ...other then maybe 50mm and 55-250 all canon lenses are costlier then nikon counterparts
Nikon have also the advantage of using old manual lenses without any adapters...my macro lens is made in maybe 70's and my 50mm 1.8 is also 90's model ...sadly in canon you dont have a choice
@house ....
In nikon you have 2 choice
55-200 vr (which I have) will cost 12k
55-300 vr will cost 17-18k
BTW to reach 300mm with image stabilisation you will have to spend either 25k on Tamron 70-300 VC or canon 70-300 IS for 40k where nikon 55-300 vr is 18k and nikon 70-300vr is 32k

Ofcourse Sujoy Nikon is not bad ,I would have to be a fool to say that. Thats why I mentioned both have flaws and are not perfect and he wont go wrong with either. Yes you are very right,Canon has jacked up the lens price for no reason,I want to buy the 18-135mm STM IS Lens but the least a shop quoted was Rs 33,200. I think I wont be able to get it before Diwali and rather wait for the prices to cool off before buying one as they are very new at the moment. But my over all value of my Kit would be 35,800+33,200 = Rs 69,000 Not a bad Idea considering Ill be having three Lenses and a capable Body. May God Bless me....
You are already Blessed @ Dr. House .....Grab it ..immediately!

incinerator I am sorry to say but why do you plan to get a 18-135 when you have 18-55 and 55-250 ...i mean it will be just a overlap on same focal length and 18-135 is also a slow lens its not a 1.8 or 2.8 or f4 lens ...whats the point??
if u want to upgrade then sell off 18-55 get 17-50 f2.8 or sell off 55-250 and get 70-200 f4 or get a wide angle like 11-16 or 10-20 or maybe a macro like 90mm 2.8

I thought of one Lens do it all kind of thing. And yes I wanted to sell both the lenses to get one,but since the exchange prices of the existing lenses were so bad ,I decided to keep both of them. Yes you are right keeping all three is stupid.Id rather buy a 17-50 selling the 18-55 and be done with it.

Tamron 17-50 f2.8 that I am using is superb lens...and its selling used for around 15k and new 22k ...btw I have bought after using 18-55 for 2 years
its always said that 1st learn to use a lens then if u find something lacking then get new one or upgrade buzurgo ne kahan hai

^ You explained it in a way that somehow it stuck in his head 55-250 is a 13x zoom
This is newbie question. So what is zoom actually ? is it the amount of magnification or simply dividing max & min length of the lens ?
Will a subject at 200 mm on a 50-200 mm lens (4x zoom) appear to be at same distance from the camera as on a 25-200 mm lens at 200mm (8x zoom) ?
