Nikon D5100 DSLR (11734)
I got the 5100 when it first came out. I love it. Here's the bottom line with DSLR cameras....there are two versions...FX and DX. FX are full frame and DX are a smaller frame size. FX are pro cameras and usually much more expensive. This one, like the 3100, 7000, 7100 and others are DX.
Pros:
- Picture quality
- Available accessories
- Nikon community
- Available lenses
Cons:
- None

Great for real beginners, but you're better off with a general DSLR book about photography.
It's a thick book, with high quality photos for a very low price. Buts, it's very long winded on the very basic stuff so it's geared at someone who's starting point is learning to push the shutter button halfway.

Pros:
- Video Features
- Good Picture Quality
Cons:
- Low-Light
- Some lacking essential Video Controlls

great camera
photos really pop, shine, however you describe it, nikons in general have excellent image quality. not very good battery life, buy another battery or two. auto focus is kind of slow and squirrely, build quality is cheap but great pics.

More complicated than ist DL but higher resolution plus gadgets.
The Pentax ist DL was a good travel recorder with quick point and shoot options but its battery life was a pain and the 6M Raw capture was quickly left behind with technology. Nikon screen size about equal, battery life greatly improved over DL and far greater pixel per image (16 M Raw capture) for...
Pros:
- Compact
- Build quality
- Battery life
Cons:
- Complicated

Its a Nikon
All I can say is plan for the future. If you are going to keep using a DX and never plan on upgrading to a FX, you can not lose, period. When you do plan on upgrading every thing you have lens wise will work on any Nikon D series.
Pros:
- Name says it all
- I have owned Nikon camera's from the late 70's to now
- I purchased this camera to see if I still had the passion for photography I use to have, I do
- I selected the D5100 because it was cheap and had great reviews.
Cons:
- The *only* con that I would report would be somewhat limited total control
- But I know this going in, so it's not really a con
