[QUOTE="Mediaman09, post: 55009, member: 9503"] Well I am offically a Nikonite now! After a long outing at the dealer , I just bought me a new Nikon 5100 with a DX VR II 18-200 f/3.5-5.6 AF-S lens ( and 16 GB Sandisk ExtremePro card). The tipping scale (over the 3200) was: [LIST] [*]auto bracketing [*]articulating screen [*]preference of 16 over 24 MP ( closer to sweet spot) [/LIST] Other factors that sealed the deal: [LIST] [*]availability [*]bundled pricing on 5100 [*]non-issue with relative weight [*]ruling our of mirrorless options (advantage Niokn on many levels, ie build quality, lens choices, user community, compatibililty with my older Nikon lenses) [*]ease of use with my older lenses (in manual mode) [/LIST]I still want to pursue non-Eye-Fi wi-fi connectivty options (haven't yet confirmed if the [URL="http://www.nikon.com/news/2012/0419_wireless_mobile_adapter_02.htm"]Wu-1a [/URL]works with the 5100, but if not, I am hopeful another or a future product will).
