[QUOTE="stmv, post: 70602, member: 10038"] the current price of the D7000 is 1050, so 250 dollars more, but you gain the top LCD display, dual memory slots, and whole generation sensor. The D90 is a great camera, but really a bit long of tooth if you have the choice to buy new. Yes, the top LCD display can be very handy, but not as not as much on the D7000, they did not include the Light meter display! and that is the key value of the top display,, Ironic, I think that is one of the functions Nikon removed from the D7000 to differeniate from the D300. Really comes down if you think you want to expand the lens or remain in the G land. I noticed Nikon puts a premium on G lens of around 100 dollars per lens, so it does not take long to make up the difference. Is the camera a long term investment, will you buy just a couple of lens and be done. I know lots of my camera friend never buys a single lens beyond the kit set of lens. So, if that is the case,then the 5100 is the better investment. [/QUOTE]
