		| | Right now I have a D700 + D300. I'm planning in selling the D300 on the end of the year to get the D600 or the D800, but I need a less expensive camera to do some videos. Nothing fancy, just some interviews and making off of photo sessions. 
 So I was wondering if the D5100 could be a good chice. I really like the tilt screen in order to see myself If I'm doing it alone.
 
 Any experienced useres with this camera making videos?

		| | Why don't you want to use D600 or D800 for these videos? |

		| | I will be shooting  with them in the video :) 
 The idea would be to get a cheap option for video.

		| | If the light is good, a lot of the P&S cams can do good quality video now. My son has a 5100, so I will ask him today about your question.
