[QUOTE="Sandpatch, post: 776037, member: 10543"] My Dad enjoyed amateur photography and always shot with Nikons. He bought me a Nikkormat FTn in the mid-70s and I later moved to his EL-2 when he upgraded. Some years later, I acquired an N2020 which I enjoyed for many years with absolute reliability. When Kodak quit producing and processing Kodachrome, I quit photography for a number of years. I wasn't able to afford a decent DSLR. When Nikon introduced the D5100, it met my requirement for DSLR quality and affordability. I bought it just over ten years ago, love it and have never upgraded. My only regret is buying the Nikon 50-200mm Zoom, which often suffers from some sort of weird light refraction from a bright locomotive headlight and twin ditch lights (I like trains) which places three green spots in my pictures and it now has some sort of vibration reduction (?) defect which makes a ratting noise when I lightly press my shutter button. My 18mm-55mm kit lens has been a champ. I might upgrade one of these days, staying with DX format. Not sure what I'd pick for a zoom. [/QUOTE]
