D5100 Now or Wait for D800?

The new rule of Point Lobos (park closed at 7pm) made me very unhappy and forced me to consider the possibilities of shooting videos. After all, learning to shooting video has been on my todo list for a long time. Also, I can buy a new camera!!! Then, the question is, should I get a D5100 now? Or wait for the D800? (Again, rumor has it that it will be out in September.) The inner child of me wants instant gratification, but my rational brain says to wait. Sigh, maybe I should get a new lens while I am waiting...

  1. Nikon D800 will be announced on August 24th.

    According to Thom Hogan, Nikonrumors and industry sources, the successor of the Nikon D700 will be announced at the Nikon press conference on August 24th. The D700 replacement will be available in Fall 2011 which will be excellent for Christmas sales. 24MP are expected but highly uncertain at this point.
