That is really good news!! But aren't we supposed to buy it first?

I'm just sayin'.

You mean I have to buy it??? Nikon made us wait so long they should give us one.

I'm still trying to figure out why everyone is so excited with this D5100. It doesn't have a built in focus motor, doesn't have an LED screen on top, etc etc etc. I don't know......maybe it's just me.

I agree with you Jack. It does have some unique features which may appeal folks seeking them, outside of the D7000's sensor, there isn't much that interests me either. I was anticipating more features of the D7000, but this does not appear to be targeted to the more traditional photographer. To me it's just a D3100 with more bells and whistles, kinda like cell phones nowadays, how many gadgets can you stuff into it so it is more marketable.
