Now that the Nikon D5100 is officially out of the gate, you may be interested to know that the US price is $799.95 (body only) and $899.95 with an 18-55mm VR kit lens.
You can find it for pre-order or notification status at the following links. It’s scheduled to ship this month (April 2011).
Nikon D5100 (body only): Amazon | B&H Photo
Nikon D5100 w/ 18-55mm VR lens: Amazon | B&H Photo
Nikon ME-1 Stereo Mic: Amazon
The US price for the Nikon ME-1 hot shoe mic is $179.95. However, if you’re going to spend that much on a hot shoe mic, spend a little extra and get the Rode VideoMic Pro instead.
Well done nikon. Really blows away the t3i
