Ok I am looking for a little bit of advice here. In the next month or so, I am going to be taking the plunge back into the SLR game, have not been in a position to get into the DSLR game till recently.
I think I have things Narrowed to 3 models Nikon D90, D5100, and Cannon 60D.
Mostly be used on hiking, hunting, horse, and driving trips for catching critters and land scape mostly.
I have handled all 3 of these at our local big box stores, all the prices I can get them for if I go new are with in a couple of hundred bucks of each other. The 5100 kit comes with 2 "kit lenses" the others are singles 18-200 ish IIRC.
I really like how the full size handle but the lower weight and small over all package of the 5100 is appealing as it will take up less space and less weight in my pack.
I guess what I am looking for is some real world opinions of you guys that have been dealing with these things for a while, as my last SLR was Minolta Maxxim 5000 35mm. and shit has really changed.
thanks
