Nikon has unveiled the D5100 upper-entry-level DSLR. Sitting above the D3100, it includes a 16.2 MP CMOS sensor much like that in the D7000, 1080p movie capability and a side-articulated 921K dot 3.0" tilt/swivel LCD. The D5100 claims to be the first Nikon DSLR to be able to apply special processing filters to stills and video. The company has also introduced the ME-1 external microphone. The camera will be available from this month as a kit with the 18-55mm VR lens for $899.95 while the microphone will retail at $179.99.

Yes Baldrick, and I would love to see the 5D with a Swivel LCD and a faster shutter speed. Hope the Rumored 5D Mark 3 does not disappoint us..!
