[QUOTE="AntrimHills, post: 62817, member: 9936"] Truth be told, I'm not a Nikonite yet. I've been away from photography for years (19 to be precise), and in an effort to get back into it, I've been researching different cameras. Time and again, whilst searching for a new camera, I kept coming back to Nikon, and in particular the D90. I know it's now discontinued officially, but I can still get one brand new from Calumet. It, and the standard 18 - 105 lens, fitted nicely into my budget, and allowed me spare cash. Now however, I'm caught between a rock and a hard place, since discovering the D5100 and D7000. I know the two have considerable differences, but I really cannot make up my mind which would be the better option. I hope to use the camera within the context of my hobby, local history, as well as getting back into taking nice landscape shots. I dont want to buy something I will regret buying in 6 months time, so I have to make the right choice now. I hope eventually to be able to produce shots good enough to sell, although primarily my images will be going into local interest books and guides. If I opt for the D5100, I will most certainly be able to afford the Nikkor 16-85 VR lens giving me a wider wide angle, but if it's going to be the D7000, the 18-105 VR will have to suffice for the time being. Has anyone any advice that might help me choose? Greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
