I'm the type of person that If I were to buy the D5100, I would regret it and want to get the "better" camera. I've also heard the D7000 is "Nikon's best" or similar and this kind of interests me.
I'm the exact same way. About 2 years ago my daughter started to dabble in photography. I bought her a Nikon D100. According to the "research" I had done at the time, it was a professional grade product, but since it was so old, I got it inexpensively. She loved the camera, but didn't know how to use it.
This past Christmas I bought a D3000 thinking it would be an upgrade. I gave it to her two weeks before Christmas & borrowed her D100. Well, when we got together at Christmas she wanted her D100 back & I'm stuck with the D3000.
The D3000 is a fine camera & it's really beyond what I need in a camera, but I'm sure I'm going to sell it & get a D200, maybe a D300. I like the focus motor in the body. I like the aperture button where I can really see what my picture is going to look like. I like to be able to take more than 3 shots per second.
