The D5100 shares the same sensor as the D7000 for about half the cost. The D7000 does have a better build quality and more features, it's a tough call. The 16-85 is considered by some reveiwers as nikon's sharpest non-pro midrange zoom, it is a fantastic, sharp lens. The build quality is significant over the 18-105. It really also comes down to shooting style, I like wide and the majority of my shots are at 16mm. If you like wide angles, those 3mm really make a big difference.</p></blockquote><p></p>
