[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 114586, member: 9521"] I agree with Don and vote the D5200. There are plenty of technical reasons why - EXPEED 3 vs. EXPEED 2, etc, but there's a more practical reason. Remember your first attempt to ride a bike as a kid? I'm thinking it came with training wheels which your parents took off as soon as you were competent enough to ride without them. In the case of your camera, the D5100 is a little like a bike with training wheels only you can never take them off whereas the D5200 has the training wheels but you can take them off as soon as you feel comfortable. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little (or a lot) but my point is to buy a camera a little above your leave so you can grow into it. You will very quickly master the D5100 and after you do you'll forever be wondering if the D5200 wouldn't have been a better buy. [/QUOTE]
