[QUOTE="Kamesh, post: 70192, member: 10220"] Exactly couple of weeks ago, i had the same problem, whether to opt for D5100 or D90 or D7000. Several guys advised me on that aspect and that thread went on for over 7 pages when I made the final decision. In my case, i was migrating from point and shoot camera which i used to the core for over 4 years and it still takes amazing pictures. What matters is how the thing feels in your hand. I held both 5100 and 7000 and for my hands i felt like 7000 is quite the choice. So, despite all odds, i went ahead and selected my d7000 and it changed my approach towards photography. I would love to shoot kids, landscapes, portraits, birds, full of action etc.. not restrictive to a particular area. I have this tendency of getting things ASAP the moment i start thinking about them, that's the reason why i could not control my emotions for waiting a month to see about the new launches. Who knows the upgrade to D7000 may be even more costlier. Like all those who suggested, and which paid off really, go to a nearby shop, feel both cameras and get the one which best suits you. Ultimately, at the end of the day, you are the person who have to weigh your pockets and you are the one who is going to spend your hard earned money. The big difference between d5100 and d7000 is the navigation.. Most commonly used settings are all engraved on the body in 7000 whereas 5100 is completely menu driven. Choose wisely and both are good cameras :) You can check out for d90 if you want a better feel, just to add to your confusion :p That may be released in 2008, but still is a solid camera. I wanted to take 7000 and can take the regret of not having d90 smoothly instead of having d90 and regret not having d7000 :) That's my psychological behavior :) For your reference, here is the link to the thread which i created earlier....
