At large print size the D5100 will look better, the P51o pixels will be blown out. That much pixel density leads to noise and sensor diffraction at a very low f stop. As far as DoF, with the 55-300, you'll be shooting at f5.6 or above, plenty of DoF if you are on target. If you just want small prints of far away birds get the P510, but you will be limiting your future possibilities.</p></blockquote><p></p>
