Right, assuming you work with the AF-S 60 and/or 105 micros you'd be fine with the Nikon 5100, swivel LCD helping in case of live view focusing. I wonder though, what's wrong with the D3's imaging for the purpose of macro photography ? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Nothing, I suspect. But, like you get "more tele" (1.5x crop factor) with APS-C in the frame, you get a bigger bug (1.5x crop factor) in the frame too. So, maximum achievable enlargement of the subject to an image is larger than with full frame.
