Is there a movie crop function in nikon d5100 like in canon dslrs.
i'm planning to buy a new DSLR and i can't decide between the Canon 60D and Nikon D5100
Because nikon d5100 has more creative filters (as i like experimenting) and a HDR and a lot cheaper than canon 60d
but
Canon 60d has less shutter lag and takes faster pictures, has a focus motor and longer battery life (because i'm taking it to holidays and events~)
i would have decided to buy the nikon D5100 if it has the clever function movie crop which allows you to zoom into your subject significantly more than having it without and also you have the benefit to zoom easily without changing your lens while recording a video or taking picture while zooming~
so does it have that function or no?
or should i opt out for Canon 60d than Nikon D5100?

(sorry for my rambling, but i just really need your help!)

so hel me~!

Added (2). Please do not recommend more cameras as it would confuse me more: S
and i know it's kinda unfair comparing an entry level camera to a professional camera.

The 60D is on a higher level than the D5100.

For a Nikon camera thats more comparable to the 60D in both price and features, look at the Nikon D7000.

I would consider the Nikon D7000 more suited to taking pictures, while the 60D has the slight edge in video. To answer your question, I do not believe the D7000 has that feature.
