[QUOTE="AntrimHills, post: 67593, member: 9936"] No point asking me what I think. As I think everyone knows by now, I'd pick a D90 over a D5100 for lots of reasons, and if my budget was as tight as yours, I'd pick the D90 over a D7000 too, and get the glass you really want. Don't get me wrong, [U]I personally[/U] picked the D7000 over the D90, but not because the D90 was older or less able, it simply came down to picking a camera [U]I was happy with[/U]. I could have got a D90 with a 16-85, but decided on a D7000 with a 18-105; the lens covers a lot of ground, and so far 95% of my shots have been in the 18-85 range. Who knows maybe I'd have been better getting the 16-85 ;) Marcel's advice and getting a good used D90 and good pre-owned glass couldn't be better. I think it's better going for a cheaper body, and getting better glass; I think quite a few in here told me that was their viewpoint too; and it's what I'm recommending you to do. [/QUOTE]
