كنت عايز اسالك سؤال بس
لو بصيت على المقارنه دى هتلاقى ال 5100 احسن
كلون وكجوده الصورة
وكمان ال 5100 عامله 4800ج بعدسه 18-105
وال 90 عامله 5200 بعدسه 18-105
وال 5100 مش فيها اوتو فوكس
ال 90 فيها
هتفرق برده معايا لو نويت اجيب عدسه بعد كده
فكنت عايز اعرف رايك ؟
and why ?
Dirk
him cause you dont need a 'food' mode or in built hdr when you are a serious photographer .if thats really important buy a point and shoot camera :)

Photo's from the last year were taken with the D90, others with the D80 and an older Canon Digital Rebel.
The wedding photo's were scanned from prints that were taken with my medium format camera's back a few years ago in the good old film days.
Here's a few more examples.
*note the pics below are lower resolution (~100k) as the ones posted on my flickr site although those are also compressed. They all look good on a computer monitor.
I hope these examples help. Just know that any of the Canon & Nikon DLSRs will produce great photo's as will plenty of other cameras but I have only worked with these.
I'm currently on my third DSLR, a D90 and have no plans to get rid of it until at least 100,000 clicks. I sold my D80 for the added features of the D90. I could have purchased the D7000 (a very fine camera) or any other camera for that matter, cost not really an issue. I knew I would be happy with the D90 and after one year and over 9000 photo's I still feel this is the best DSLR for the money.
I'm using my spare cash to purchase quality lenses, the Nikon R1C1 (I love it!) and more Nikon SB900s (4 so far and 1 SB600).
Any of these camera's will produce great pictures and will be a joy to work with, much more than any point & shoot so don't lose any sleep. Buy one and get out there and shoot, shoot, shoot!
FWIW I have no interest at all in video with a DSLR, that's what my nice little Sony HD handycam is for. I also don't like "smart phones". I like the right tool for the job. I don't take photos or video or surf the web with my phone.
Here's a recent pic from my D90 and the nice DX 85mm Nikon micro (macro):
The D90 is a completely different animal from the D5100. The design of the D90 is what really sets it apart. Having two dials, a top LCD screen, and additional buttons really gives an advantage to the D90. In the D5100/D3100 changing anything as simple as ISO or white balance will require you to get into the menu system. I can do this blind on my D90, press a button, flick a wheel, much faster. It's a heavier camera, but it's much more nimble in that respect. Plus, as others have mentioned, having a focus motor will let you autofocus with a lot more lenses including older used lenses.
But to answer your question. Note that I don't know too much about the T3i so not including it in my comparison:
Color Depth: varies depending on ISO. DxO number will show that the D5100 is ahead, but if you look at the actual chart, that's only at ISO 100 which the D90 does not shoot at natively. At most ISOs, the advantage goes to D90, according to DxO at least.
Lens Compatibility: D90
Video Quality: D5100
Image Quality: D5100
I feel we should not be using the popularity at all as a comparison to do ranking.
Secondly, I feel the users are quite dumb! I cannot justify Nikon D90 getting less votes on the "Manual settings" (How quickly you can change settings).
D90 has tons of dedicated buttons, dials to change aperture val and shutter speed. D5100 does not even have an ISO button!
Rubbish voting i'd say!
Sorry to criticise. But these are my honest opinions. And this is also backed by the various reviews of D90 and D5100 on the internet. D90 is by far better than D5100.
