Thanks a lot Prasad ji for aapreciation. If few more comments came I will have to postpone my decision of buying Nikon d5100 and a macro lens. My sony alpha 100, I manage macro capability with extension tubes, 70-315 lens for shooting flowers on trees. Recently my Sony DSLR has started giving error 0x5b nearly 40 percent times, possibly a fault in aperture assembly. There being no repair support for Sony DSLR in India, I was thinking of buying a new DSLR camer, possibly Nikor d5100, may be an additional utility.
