Upgrade my D60

[hambonebtc]

I am wanting to upgrade my camera from a D60 to a D90 or D5100 which do you think would be better? I am leaning on the D5100.

D90, no question.

Absolutely....D90. It's a no brainer. Excellent camera. Wish I had one.

another vote for the D90

What kind of glass do you have?

After someone stole my D5000 I had a choice between these two cameras, I went for the D90 as it will importantly for me AF with older lenses. Also it is a far nicer camera to use than the D5000 type body, it feels more sturdy and has more direct controls. However you have to ask what do I require my camera to do, so if you think you are going to want to do video then the D5100 is a better camera. For a stills shooter the D90 has advantages and in most normal prints the iq is a wash, having compared similar between the D90 and D7000 though.

I should have asked can you get your hands on one of each camera to see how you like them? It would be terrible if you bought one and i felt wrong. Are you keeping the D60 as a back up? or to walk around with a different lens on. It does make things flow better if you can stand the weight.

I held both and I will like the D90 better, I am planning on keeping the D60 as a backup.
