[QUOTE="Bill16, post: 223176, member: 15356"] I'm sure you can find more detailed comparisons, but I have to say if I could only have one or the other, that I would pick the D90 at this point. I believe the build quality of the D90 is better, and that the professional type setup more than makes up for any positives the D5100 has over it. Knowing what I know so far, I would have bought the D90 as my first Nikon had I known! I believe this D90 is the best Nikon I own so far, and when I upgrade I'll be looking at the D300s or the D700 depending on my budget if I can't get the D4 yet. I'm not knocking the D5100, but I feel if your wanting a great quality Nikon at a reasonable price with a pro feel, the D90 fills the bill better than the D5100. But if lighter weight, better video, higher mps, and a flip out lcd are some of what your looking for, then then you can't go wrong with the D5100! It's a very cool nikon and I don't regret buying one at all. :D [/QUOTE]
