Does Nikon D5100 shoot movie with sound?
I'm reading the info on it, but comparing it to other cameras that say "movie with sound". The D5100 just says:
HD 1, 920x1, 080 / 30 fps
HD 1, 920×1, 080 / 24 fps
HD 1, 280×720 / 30 fps
HD 1, 280×720 / 24 fps
VGA 640×424 / 30 fp
Also, are any of these HD? If so, 720p or 1080p?
Here's the site:

Yes. You can confirm it since the specs indicate there's a stereo mic input - for a remote mic.
The HD in front of these is not a clue? 1920x1080 is classic HD resolution. The d5100 has a microphone built in.
The list you pasted already has HD in front.
1280 x 720 is HD, while 1920 x 1080 is Full HD. All are 720p and 1080p, and the camera can produce audio.

Yes, it is best… I've only had the D5100 for a few days, and I love it. I loved it out of the box. Before buying it, I'd been considering the more expensive Nikon D7000 and the Canon EOS 60D. But being the type of guy who is in general very technology/gadget challenged, I knew I'd never use 90% of the available features on either camera, so I couldn't really justify the extra expense.
