I bought this camera a few months ago as my first DSLR (I have used film SLRs in the past). All in all it is a fantastic camera and I love to use it, but there are some annoying things about it , wich would make me choose a second hand D7000 over the D5100 the next time. First of all the flip-screen is only interesting for a month. After a month I used it less then 1% of the time. The 4 way controller on the back can be pushed by accident moving the focus point. And I still can't get used to ...

This camera is a complete package for those who is looking for a very good camera now and wants to upgrade with additional lenses in future. Cannot say 649$ is cheap but its definitely worth every cent. Pros: Proper keys in place makes it easy to handle. When compared to canon 550d this is really fast even with flash and i never saw it showing "Busy" because of flash getting heated up. Auto-focus is just awesome than any other cameras in this range. 11 dots. Fast enough. Cons: Max shutter ...

Switching over to a DSLR from Point and shoot can be a bit difficult, lets face it; you have to learn to crawl before you stand up and walk. This is my First DSLR Camera, Before this Camera I was Using some Sony and Olympus Point and Shoot camera's for any kind of family event or gatherings and even before that I used a Minolta SLR XG-9 Camera, which My dad gave as a gift to me.. So before switching over to a Canon EOS 550D (Rebel T2i / Kiss X4) or Nikon D5100, I had the chance to use a Canon ...

As a replacement, this camera shines. As for the price, you can't beat it. Having the same sensor as the D7000, image quality is excellent everywhere from bright light to low light without flash. You get very clear and perfectly colored images, and the effects are also fun to play with. Full HD is very good for a camera that costs $700. Recommended for any beginner starting out on Nikon. The lens you get with it (18-55mm DX) is a great value and manages some good macro. All in all, a perfect ...

I chose this camera after so much comparisons with Hi-End Nikons like D90 and D7000 and Canons like 550D and 600D. I preferred low noise on high iso and picture quality and this camera proved both powers in it. The 4 fps is also better than my Olympus E-300 (2.7 fps) and large sensor with 16 mp is impressive. Problems: Battery time is less than my expectations. It gets discharged after 50 pictures and some experimentation with Live View'. Live View gets dark and noisy when battery is close to ...

This is my first DSLR. And I'm very happy i chose this. I have a 18-105 lens which is fast. The focusing is very quick. No camera turn on time. Since I'm still learning I cannot give much insight on the specific features. The major plus point with this cam is the flip out screen.. I have taken some really nice shots keeping the cam overhead or low... The In camera HDR quiet good and comes quiet handy in some situations. (U have to shoot in JPEG mode to use this feature) Haven't tried the ...

I bought the FNAC pack: D5100 + 18-105 mm lens. Overall image quality: excellent Low light photography: excellent Colours: magnific Automatic focus: magnific Automatic metering (low light): magnific Automic metering in sunlight: poor (tends to be overexposed). (For the moment I have no comments on HD films since we have only used it for photos.) Problems: 1- Overexposure on bright days with sky in background. I consider this a severe problem. Have to use -1 -2 Ev on semi-manual modes to ...

Honestly, I can't see any way a pro would keep this camera, but I can see how a lot of people would be fooled into keeping it past its possibility of return date. This camera also makes me quite annoyed at Nikon, and I have enough Nikon glass I want to be able to use. I've always respected the fact I can use old manual lenses, which can't be done on Canon. The camera is the same size as the D40x, and I don't know why Nikon has to treat it's most compact dSLR as the stepchild most of the time. ...
