| | | Posted by Byberrian Fanman The only aspect where the D90 is better than the D5100 is the in-body AF motor.. that's it.
| If you're just taking snapshots, or facebook pictures, or tripod photos sure. But if you want to shoot sports with a 80-200 2.8 AFD ($800) on a D5100 you're out of luck. You could always buy the 70-200 2.8 VRii for $2,500. Or if you want to shoot sports with the 300 2.8 AFD ($1,800) you're out of luck, but you can always get the AFS for only $6,000. Or... you can get the slower focusing 50mm afs, slower focusing 85mm 1.8 afs, for twice the price as the faster AFDs. Considering there is no AI tab on either, the D7000 is better than both. Or a D300/s //etc. Or shoot film. I've got a F4 and a FE both will take almost any nikon lens ever made. I have a few N80s even, and they will not vignette all that much with a crop lens.

The D5100 has the same sensor as the D7000, so.. same technical image quality (high ISO, dynamic range, etc.). But if you want to shoot sports with a 80-200 2.8 AFD ($800) on a D5100 you're out of luck. You could always buy the 70-200 2.8 VRii for $2,500. |
True, but how often do abandonments move about? Or if you want to shoot sports with the 300 2.8 AFD ($1,800) you're out of luck, but you can always get the AFS for only $6,000. |
This lens you describe does not exist. You're probably referring to the first 300mm f/2.8 AF non-D.. if so, the autofocus speed on this lens is slooooow as fuck, anyway. Considering there is no AI tab on either, the D7000 is better than both. |
Well, of course the D7000 is the better bet.. but some people have budgets.

| | | Posted by Byberrian Fanman The Canon 50mm f/1.8 is, like most 50's, a decent lens.. albeit a bit longish when used on APS-C bodies. Try to find the first version of the lens with the metal mount and distance scale, the build quality (and arguably, the autofocus) is superior to the current Mk. II. Edit: Picture for reference. http://i910.photob...fansstuff14548.jpg
| Which is around $200-300 for the mk I. For between $200-500 there are so many good options without breaking the bank. For ~$100, the 50/1.8 is the only thing in that price range worth buying. It's sharp and is four stops faster than the kit lens. I'd recommend: Sharper, wider, all around better lens, marginally more expensive. http://www.the-dig...e-Lens-Review.aspx$199 brand new: or http://www.the-dig...I-Lens-Review.aspx~$399 used adorama or $350 used ob amazon warehouse You lose a stop and sharpness but you gain range.
