Hi All,

About to dip my toe back into SLR's after a few years with a Micro 4/3 system. Can't quite decide what to do so any advice appreciated.

So, choices are D5100, D7000 or D5200. Will be pairing up with 18-105mm and 35mm.

D7000 - this was my first choice, slightly cheaper now and looking at the price of the D90 I doubt it will drop much if/when a replacement is announced.

D5100 - slightly less functionality than the D7000. Due to D5200 release it is really good value, especially with current cashback offer.

D5200 - bit of an unknown, A/F should be comparable to D7000 but pricing obviously high due to being brand new.

My gut feeling is that if I'm buying on price I should look no further than the D5100 and if I want the functionality I should be looking at the D7000.

Anyone offer any arguments for or against?
 
Cheers all, was all set to buy at the weekend and found that it sat horribly in my hands. I was quite surprised as I had a D40 many moons ago that felt really good, just didn't like the D7000 at all. :(

The 650D felt really good, but the spec's didn't seem quite as good as the D7000 for the price.

Back to the drawing board I guess.
