I was just about to pull the trigger on the d5100. Any thoughts on how that one stacks up to the D3200 on sale?

The D5100 seems to hit the sweet spot in Nikon's APS-C or DX lineup in terms of features and IQ. Both cameras are very close in size. The articulated LCD makes the D5100 a little bigger. I agree with PC that the move up from the fabulous 16MP DX sensor (basically the same pixel density as the D800's 36MP FX sensor) to the 24MP DX sensor gets you very little.

I own the D5100. However, if I were in the market for a DX camera, I'd either get the D5100 or wait for its replacement. The only reason I'd wait is not IQ, but hoping that Nikon might add one or two dedicated buttons to improve the UI and, perhaps, a touch screen.
