i'd vote for d5100 with the kit lens.. but that's just me.. hehe

reasons:
- better sensor (same with d7000 sensor if i'm not mistaken)
- better back lcd (easier to view picture)
- higher ISO range (d3100: 3200; d5100: 6400)

p/s: using kit lens can help you learn what (better) lens to aim for as well..

D5100 increase price?
it should be around RM2.3k with kit lens and usually free 8gb SD card + nikon bag or whatever free nikon stuff.
imo, dont bother about the tripod / filter / cleaning kit unless they're given free cos they're usually very low quality.

My local shop selling RM2.5k only sd card,nikon bag and tripod sad.gif Should i grab it or buy online? Anyway,you will suggest me go to buy at Nikon Official Shop?

My vote goes to D5100...
As it got one of d best DX sensor currently...
Lens u can upgrade later...

Nikon D5100 doesn't have focusing motor,is it will cause a trouble when photography? Lens with focusing motor will cause more $$?

I agree with Everdying, I got my D90 with the freebies (tripod, cleaning kit).

Tripod was awful...did not liked it. Still can use, but feel unsecure. Cleaning kit not so good, prefer cleaning pen(those with carbon tip).

I requested filters, they ask me top up.. sad.gif they gave me UV filter kenko 67mm and a polarizer).

Where you bought your D90?
