I just bought the D5100 and carried over some equipment from my old (2009) Canon Vixia HF S10 camcorder.

The only two things I think I am missing now is the following.

* Beachtek DXA-SLR audio adapter for using XLR microphones and a headset to listen to the sound being recorded. $399

* Good large lense such as Nikon
AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR $699
AF-S VR Zoom-NIKKOR 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED $669
Nikon 24-120mm f/4G ED VR AF-S NIKKOR Lens for Nikon Digital SLR $1100
