I've found myself wanting to try Nikon after having a Canon for years...it's a Rebel XTi and it's been a great camera. It's still a great camera I just feel like the newer SLRs have so many new features and I can't help but want one.
The one I've been looking at is the Nikon D5100, any thoughts? I don't know Nikon but I've been looking online all night at it seems to have good reviews and a lot of the features of the D7000 but quite a bit less money.
Since it's the newer version of the D5000, I would totally recommend it. My D5000 is great, and I can only imagine it's gotten better with the upgrade to the D5100.
