I have used my new 5100 for about a month now I can say the following:

1/ I still think the heavily discounted 5100 is an amazing bargain. I do not think 5200 for more than twice the price is really worth it.
2/ re 5100 v 7000 - two more buttons on 5100 would not go amiss - direct access to ISO and shooting mode would be nice. On the other hand the articulated screen is a BIG bonus especially if you shoot a lot indoors, it should not be underestimated.
3/ SD-card cover is a letdown, a bit loose and annoying. (and btw just one card slot is a bit disappointing too.) I have an 8 y.o. 5Mp Olympus Camedia 5060 and the body was made much better - the plastic, the covers, the dial, the buttons - it all just feels more solid (and it proved to be very solid and reliable in those 8 years. And it has two SD card slots)
4/ Other than that I can not fault 5100 - great camera for the money.
