The price difference is huge so,, a lot less money to just buy the D7000/80-200 2.8 D  versus the D5100 and 70-200 2.8 G lens, and then you gain the internal AF motor, and easier Manual mode dials, plus gain access to all the other older AFs lens out there. don't get me wrong, D5100 is a great camera, I just get fustrated when Nikon deletes well thought out features by trying to "simplify" in in the end, actually making it harder for the new user. When I teach a class, and we are having to explain/use some of the entry SLRs, often have to dig out the manual, and read  terse explanations to make the shot.</blockquote>
