[QUOTE="AC016, post: 79809, member: 9619"] I suggest you make a list of what you want in a camera. Also, think about what you want to do with the pictures you take. Are you just posting them online and printing 4 x 6? If this is the case, you don't need a camera with lot's of MP. If you are blowing them up alot or heavly cropping them, then you may want to consider a high MP camera. If you have never had a Nikon DSLR or SLR before, then you obviously don't have any old Nikon glass lying around. Therefore, having an in-body focus motor may not be that important to you. Just remember when you purchase any Nikon lens in the future, to make sure it has it's own focus motor. To help you out with that, look at this: [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nikon_F-mount_lenses_with_integrated_autofocus_motors]List of Nikon F-mount lenses with integrated autofocus motors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] From this, i think you will find that you are covered and won't have to worry about getting a camera with an in-body focus motor. I am sure there are a few more things that you may want to consider, but i really think in the end you will be looking at a D5100. Good luck [/QUOTE]
