Over the years I decided that I wanted a DSLR to progress in photography and upgrade my bridge camera. I've studied AS level photography and so have a fair amount of knowledge in terms of manual settings etc.
So here's the deal: I can't choose between..
- Nikon D5100 with 18-55mm+55-200mm VR
- Nikon D90 with 18-105mm VR

If you like the idea of a newer sensor, menu diving and crippled flash go for the D5100. If you can 'tolerate' an older sensor and more direct control over the camera and a more fully featured flash system go for the D90.

Or you could buy a really nice, low usage but secondhand D300. There's a nice one here for under £400:

David, What makes you think the D5100 does not have a full featured flash system?

Maybe because it doesnt have onboard commander mode.
