Were dropped or crushed. I've yet to find folk that break the grip or connection. But let's go with what you want. Does this dismiss these 2 and what model has metal today?

Hello!
I'm planning on buying myself a new DSLR! So far I have used only camcorders(not HD video) and compact digital cameras(HD video). Since I'm a film student. The main purpose would be to make movies,advertisement, event promos etc.
So my choices are:
Nikon D5200(18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S VR DX NIKKOR) 699€
or
Nikon D3200(18-105mm NIKKOR AF-S DX F3,5-5,6G ED VR) 649€
I mean, they are pretty much the same, as far as the technical aspect goes!
Nikon D5200 has some advantages though, such as: 1080 60fps(good for slow motion)! Focus points D5200: 39, while the D3200: 11! Cross-type focus points D5200: 9 and D3200: 1 !
What really inspires me, is the flip out screen, which could really come handy, when shooting from different angles! While the D3200 has one step better lens. I'm not sure how high-quality this is, since the connection grip is made out of plastic(not metal), and may break easily?!
