I blog and report on figurine news off and on and do like taking occasional photos.My current camera is a little point and shoot, a Panasonic ZS5. It does the job but I was thinking about getting a real camera.I like the d5100's screen that you can flip out and rotate, a lot of figurine photographers and macro photographers like to use those. Anyways I have seen this camera on amazon for $576.95 Which seems to me like a bloody good deal. Of course the d5200 is supposedly coming out right? Any reason to wait or is it better to buy? I'm newish to this market.Also are there any other affordable cameras that you might suggest that do excellent macro work? Anyways let me know if you get time, thanks!</blockquote>
