Added (1). Requirements
1.Portraits
2.Landscape
3.Low-light

I dont need large buffers and high shutter speed.

As I have only 1 lens I can switch to a Canon too.
Added (2). Thank you FotoAce.

How about D7000 which is about 40% less costly than D7100? Does the performance difference do justice to the cost difference. I understand, with D7000, I will get the same sensor in a different body.
Added (3). Same sensor as in D5100*
Added (4). BriaR

I need a body with motor.(I have a 50mm 1.8D which I hardly could use on D5100)
I need weather sealing.
I need to shoot in low light

These are the reason I am upgrading the body.
Another reason I believe this is right time to get a decent resale value for D5100.

As for buying Nikon, I learned when I started off shooting that Nikon makes better glasses than Canon.

Macro photography with a Nikon dx body?

Ok so macro photography is something very new to me, but has always seemed very fascinating and fun.

To start off I have a Nikon D5000 so I can't even really consider any AF-D lenses if I want to still have auto-focus. I've been looking into things such as the 85mm f/3.5 DX and the 60mm f/2.8 FX. To be completely honest, I don't know if either of these would do the trick for macro photography or even how good/bad of an idea it would be to use a full frame lense on a dx camera.

Any kind of advice on what I should be looking for with this sort of thing would be awesome as well as knowing possible third party lenses that would do the trick for this like Sigma or Tokina.

If possible, I'd like to stay in the price range of $600 or less.

Thanks anyone and everyone for the help.

Improving my photography (pics)?

I love taking photos of my daughter and I'd like to improve.
I'm using a Nikon D3100 and the basic kit lens.
I've taught myself how to shoot in manual (thank you youtube). Now I've just started using photoshop. Just for basic brightening and some sharpening.

What would be the next step to improve would you say?
I was thinking maybe I should start with getting another lens. Any recommendations?

Here are some photo's I've taken. Please offer some constructive criticism but don't be to harsh as I'm just a beginner to the DSLR world:)

Nikon aw1 or sony nex 5n? (with waterproof case)?

I was looking for a good mirror less camera. And i came across the Nikon aw1.
I liked it because it was waterproof and had interchangeable lenses. It was perfect for me because I'm not really careful with electronics, or anything:/ then i found the Sony nex 5 and a waterproof case for it. Now I'm having trouble deciding of which camera to buy.
What do you guys think?
