Newb with questions!

Hi there. This site was recommended by a work colleague as the wife and I are just into photography and loving it! She has the eye and I love the tinkering.

However, I'm using her camera until the ultimate question can be answered...Nikon D90 or D5100... so many mixed reviews :bang:

thanks, and look forward to having a look around.

Hi Tim,

Welcome to TP.

You may get a better response in the 'talk equipment' section. If you ask nicely one of the Mods might move it for you

I have a D90 and considered the D5100 when it launched. TBH the D90 did every thing I needed so I stuck with it (although it got lonely so a D300s was in order).

The D5100 does have the later sensor, but certainly for me 12mp is sufficient. Having not used the D5100 I can't really make a comparison regarding image quality / IQ etc.

I would plan a trip out to you local camera store and get your hands on both units, you may find there is an obvious choice once you have done.

I am new as well. I am currently looking at the D5100 and the Canon T3i. So far I'm liking the Canon. There is a really good video comparing the two on utube but I'm sorry I can't remember the name right now I'll try to find it. This guy has great comparison on different camera's.
