One of the boxes I wanted ticked on my recent camera purchase (D5100) was live preview. Although I've used cameras for years, it had always been with non-DSLR cameras so they always had the screen...

Nikon D5100 can do it with the customisable function button. Its set in custom menu f1, set it to QUAL. Then you can press & hold the button and spin the dial to adjust the quality. The quality...

Sorry I can't answer the question with "you should get a xxxxxxxxx camera" but also bear in mind, how long it takes between turning the camera on and being able to take the first picture; or being...

That's okay, I eventually found a way to customise the time-out on the screen (custom menu c2 Auto Off timers, Custom, Auto meter-off changed from 8 s to 1 min.I didn't know what to search for in...

It seems like everyone has just bought, or is raving about, the D5100 and I am not the only one who has just bought one! I am not new to photography, I previously owned (well, still do) a high-spec...

Its a nice picture, personally I'd have tweaked the framing slightly by centering the bench right in the middle of the frame and possibly going half-to-one stop higher on aperture and the...

I think the last paragraph pretty much determines your situation IF you are only considering new equipment. The fact is, that full frame DSLRs are top end models, tend to have more features, more...

When did Nikon stop making DSLRs?Product cycles tend to be ~2 years, so I don't think analysis of a single year's new releases is long enough to say a particular type of camera is dead.

You're right - I've picked Nikon for a combination of reasons, not all of which I have listed here. I know Sony are a big manufacturer, and will still be around in 10 years time. I have no worries...

Did I?Not the entire future...just that they'll be around Support, warranty claim if needs be, availability of accessories, lenses, etcI already own a Sony camera, so I have no issues with Sony...

Is it a massive issue (from a prospective D5100 owner)......???

I was (still am...not bought yet) in a similar position but at the end of the day, I narrowed down the list of manufacturers for a DSLR to Canon and Nikon. The reason being, these manufacturers...

Nobody owns an interchangeable lens camera with no lenses.Some people own an interchangeable lens camera and 1 lens.Some people own an interchangeable lens camera and many lenses. If I were...

Some cameras have an interval timer. Eg you set the camera up on the tripod, make the exposure/etc settings, then set it off on interval timer and it will take a picture every eg 10 seconds until...

I'm not sure what you mean. I looked up the cost of a Nikon kit with a camera + lens, then the equivalent body only from Jessops, the difference was...

One is camera body + 64GB memory cardOther is camera body + lensA quick browse on the internet shows that the lens is about £50 (kit price - body price from a retailer) and the memory card is about...

Do you have some links you can post, to show the same retailer selling body only; and a bundle; at the same price?

I am thinking of buying a Nikon D5100 (or maybe a D5000 secondhand, depending on funds - I know it has a different screen which hinges at the bottom, not the side). Whilst the flip out and...

Any specifis models I should be looking at, other than the ones mentioned so far?

Hiya, me again.I've now had a chance to look at (and take a couple of shots, albeit indoors etc) my Dad's Nikon D60 DSLR. And after a lot of thought, I think that since I will be buying a camera...
