60D vs. D5100

[Austin Greene]

Any others? I need to make decision by tonight, I really like the d5100 look and feel, but the 60d is nice too.

If you like the feel of it, go for it. You can have the best camera in the world, but if it doesn't feel good in the hand, you'll never use it.

As one noted photographer said, "The best camera is the one in your hands."

What has more potential? 60d or d5100?

The 60D has more potential as it is already in the prosumer range. But like what Jaemie said http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/photography-equipment-products/284293-what-should-i-get-3.html stop over-analyzing. If you have a modest budget the D5100 or T3i is ok. If you have the budget then go for a 60D and start shooting.

I got the 60D, and I am really happy with it, time to start snapping some shots and practice! THanks for the help guys.

Good choice, i've always had canon cameras because I prefer the users interface. I'm sure the difference between the pictures is very small
