#22. "RE: D5100 as a lightweight travel DSLR?" In response to In response to 19
Sharon, US
I got a D5100 for a similar reason--as a smaller, lighter walkaround and travel alternative to my D300. It works very well with the 35mm f/1.8 and the 16-85mm zoom. The 16-85mm is just a couple of ounces lighter than the 18-200mm, which should balance equally well.
