This is an awesome price. I bought my refurb/demo unit(w/ 18-55mm kit lens) from Cameta for about $590 in early 2012.

The kit lens from my d5000 is good with this body?

It will work (autofocus) if it is an AF-S lens. Otherwise, there is no focus motor directly in the body of this camera but the lens will still allow you to manual focus. It is a wonderful device though, and would be a solid upgrade from the D5000.

yes, it will work. The D40, D3000, D3100, D3200, and D5100 all uses DX lenses so if one lens works for one camera then it should be compatible with the other.

I've read somewhere that going from a D5000 to a D5100 is not much of an upgrade.

I wish I could afford a D7000 for the extra features such a a built in motor in the body which will allow you to autofocus on non-DX lenses. The D5100 also does not allow you to do a mirror lock up but the D7000 can. The D7000 has more external controls allowing you to switch to certain settings quicker. D7000 has a faster shutter speed and is weather sealed. Even though they both use the same sensor which will get you about the same image quality the D7000 will give you more advanced features.

The lens in my d5000 says AF-S Nikkor 18-55mm. So I'm guessing its all good?

This price is tempting.

D5200 is already out in Europe. USA anytime now.... Prices are expected to crash more ... way better spec/firmware.

this vs 3200?

Crash?? LOL

Look at the price for the D5000. I think this price might be the lowest for some time. Otherwise the difference between this and the D5200 will be huge reducing the D5200 sales.

The price might even go up once the D5200 is released here.

Edit: Can you please enlighten us with the source of your information?

Great camera. Upgraded my D3000 to this this summer with the Amazon deal. Gave the D3000 to the girlfriend

Can someone please enlighten me as to where I can get 5% CB? I use several of the usual suspects, but all if them are 2-3%. A PM would be much appreciated and would earn my undying reptitude. TIA.
