I have been using this model for about 2 months. Long read, watched, chose. I also thought of 7000, but the first thing that repelled me was the price, the second - the swivel screen is still convenient, because. taking a photo, for example, with a raised hand is not a problem. I also considered the 3100, but the characteristics of the 5100 bribed me, plus, again, the swivel screen :) Standard kit lens 18-55VR or 18-105VR. Of course, it’s enough for a start, but personally I’m starting to understand that this is no longer enough :) A very good NOT PROFESSIONAL camera, I didn’t regret that I bought this particular model!
