Well, Nikon has released another great DSLR choice, the D5200. (By the way, check out Ken Rockwell's entire site. He is an awesome photographer and a pretty good teacher. I've been following him since before blogs.)
The D5200 is a very full featured camera. It has the 24.1MP sensor as the D3200, which is related to the D800's full frame 36MP sensor, so the image quality capability is just this side of medium format. Of course, lens choice, shooting technique, exposure and focus choices all play a factor, but the image sensor will not be what's holding us back! It has many features that put it way up on the list of desirable cameras.
About the only thing slightly lesser about it vs some more expensive DSLRs is not having a focus motor built in (for older AF Nikkors), not having the weather seals and anti-drop construction beefiness, and a few less focus points. If you've been waiting on the next best thing in serious amateur digital photography, this is it.
What the introduction of this camera does for prices of the D5100 is a real treat. Body only, factory refurbished D5100s can be found for around $380. !!!!!! Let me tell you, for what I used to pay for used Nikon bodies in my film days, this is one of the least expensive, ultra high quality, very full featured cameras I could think of from any manufacturer.
Enjoy!
