Don't get too excited yet. Remember that there's no guarantee that any of this will ever amount to anything useful. Right now, all we have are theoretical possibilities. We don't yet have any way to save so much data to an SD card, nor do we have a way to maintain live view output (this means external monitors too) while RAW is being processed. So many things are in the way right now, and nothing's even close to being absolute.
These people have done some amazing things for the community, but we all have to keep in mind that they are people just like us. People with lives and commitments. People who aren't perfect. A day might come where it is discovered that there is no way to make RAW video work on the D5100.
Don't get me wrong, as a videographer using the D5100 as my main camera, I would be extremely happy if it ever became possible to get RAW video out of the D5100. But we shouldn't get out hopes up. For right now, all we can count on is the hard work of the great people who work on this project. For all of us. Because it's fun. Because it's a hobby. Because, above all, we believe that anyone should be able to get the most out of their camera. Even if that camera is a cheap, barely workable D5100.
