Sony A57 OR Nikon D5100?

Hi,

I had the same dilema last week as my Samsung GX1S died on me and I needed a new camera in a hurry. It was late in the evening and the only camera shop nearby was a Jessops and they had the Nikon 5100, 3200, Sony A57 all in stock (No Pentax mount cameras though ) and I had a play with all 3.

The D5100 just felt better in my hands so I bought it, even thought it was an older model than the D3200 and the A57 and so far I am very pleased with it, no regrets. It came with a kit lense of 18-105 which seems nice enough.

Cheers.
