I managed to acquire a D5100 due to Nikon offering excellent deals on its cameras this past holiday season.
Something peculiar I notice about the camera is when shooting stills in live view in manual mode, there's no exposure meter so you really have no idea what settings to dial in! Doesn't this bother D5100 owners?
I wish more of a fuss would have been made about this in reviews so I would have known not to get one. (Either that or I somehow managed to gloss over it.).
I contrast, I also acquired a T4i (also through the excellent holiday deals) and it does everything I want it to do wonderfully. I like the quick access buttons to ISO, WB, AF, Picture Styles, picture quality, and single/continuous shooting settings that the D5100 does not have.
The thing is, the D5100's sensor is a little bigger and the picture quality seems better...
While in Live view .... tap the info button.. that will bring up all other relevant info .... from there turn your command dial to dial in the shutter or aperture required to center your meter. This works for both auto ISO and manually selected ISO.

Nikon AF - One Shot ..... One Kill
I tried this and it works. Thanks. Obviously being able to see your metering without having to enter a menu would have been better but this does the job.
