Nikon D5100 main features

  • 16.2 megapixel DX-format CMOS image sensor: delivers lifelike images with vivid colours, reduced noise and smooth tonal gradations.
  • High ISO (100-6400) light sensitivity: manually extendable up to 25600 using the Hi2 setting. Enables faster shutter speeds for finely detailed images with minimal noise when you shoot fast-moving subjects or take pictures in low light. Features an Auto ISO setting.
  • EXPEED 2 image processing engine: optimizes the camera's technologies for superior performance and maximum image quality.
  • 7.5 cm (3-in.), 921k-dot vari-angle LCD monitor with wide viewing angle: lets you capture unique shots from any angle. Boasts a side opening mechanism that makes it easy to shoot self-portraits or use a tripod.
  • D-Movie – full HD (1080p) movie clips: a dedicated movie-record button right next to the shutter-release makes it easy to keep the camera steady when you switch between recording stills and movies. AF-F mode keeps everything in focus, and the camera's vari-angle monitor and Special Effects mode enable unique shots. The camera supports use of an external microphone and offers 30p, 25p and 24p frame rates.
  • Live View with Scene Auto Selector: makes it easy to compose images using the vari-angle LCD monitor. Scene Auto Selector will select the best mode for the scene and subject you want to capture. Boasts easily selectable AF modes, including Face Priority AF that detects and tracks faces within the frame.
  • Razor-sharp 11-point AutoFocus system: offers fast and precise autofocus coverage across the frame. Four AF-area modes, including 3D-tracking AF, deliver sharp results, whether your subject is off-centre, moving fast or completely unpredictable.
  • 4 fps continuous shooting: enables you to capture fast-moving action at four frames per second.
  • Special Effects mode: lets you shoot distinctive still images and movies using a special effect. Offers a range of effects, including Colour Sketch, Miniature effect, Night Vision and Selective Colour that lets you emphasize up to three colours of your choice and turns the rest of the image to monochrome.
  • Scene Modes: automatically adjust camera settings, including Picture Controls and active D-Lighting, to take the guesswork out of tricky photo situations and deliver optimal results. Simply turn the mode dial to SCENE to access the most commonly used modes. Sample photos appear on the display to help you select the right mode.
  • HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging: delivers exquisitely detailed shots of high-contrast scenes. Takes two shots within a single shutter release to create an image with an extremely wide dynamic range, low noise and rich colour gradation.
  • Extensive in-camera Retouch Menu: lets you edit and enhance photos and movies in the camera. Offers a range of effects and filters including Perspective Control, Soft Focus and Colour Outline, which transforms your photo into a line drawing.
  • Dual Integrated dust reduction system: Image Sensor Cleaning and Airflow Control systems keep dust away from the camera’s image sensor for clear, spot-free images.
  • HDTV compatibility: camera features a built-in HDMI connector with HDMI-CEC support so you can view your photos and movies on any HDTV and control playback features using your TV’s remote control.
  • Infrared front and back receiver: helps prevent image blur when shooting close-ups and self-portraits.
  • Stereo sound: designed specifically for D-SLRs, Nikon’s optional Stereo Microphone ME-1 lets you record movie clips in high-quality stereo sound, with no AF noise. Comes with windscreen and soft case accessories.

        Comments about Nikon D5100 Digital SLR Camera Body:

        Easy to use for the beginner but with enough manual control and good AF (11 point) to accurately track subjects for stationery objects. For moving objects sometimes take bit of practice and time to lock on; but offers good Fps and fast through put to card. Also this camera uses same excellent 16mp from the D7100 where images are not too small or too large - just right.

        Wished Nikon put A10 control on bodies below D4 (separate orientation AF point for Landscape & Portrait), also adding GPS & Wi-fi to all models for free like Sony has effectively done for free rather than charging top bucks for separate dongle.

                        Comments about Nikon D5100 Digital SLR Camera Body:

                        I had a Nikon D3100 which I have just given to my son and was looking for a replacement body. I have a few af-s type lenses so it had to be a Nikon Dx format. I narrowed the choices down to another D3100, the D5100 or D3000. I read that the D5100 uses the same sensor as the D3000 which is a highly respected camera with great image quality. Some say that the D5100 image quality is indistinguishable from the D3100. I spent some time looking at photos on Flickr taken with these cameras, and I could tell the difference immediately - the D5100 was clearly the better than the D3100 in my eyes. I realised that I did not need the weight or extra features of the D3000. So I bought this D5100 from Wex - it arrived quickly and worked perfectly straight out of the box. I can particularly recommend it with the 18-55 lens - the image quality is really very good indeed.

                        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

                        Great camera for the money, exceptional image quality. The flippy lcd is great for shots at awkward angles and for getting pinpoint focus with macros. Very wide dynamic range and great hi ISO perfomance.
                        The liveview implementation is lacking especially if you try and shoot manually, the focus slector pad can be easily knocked which moves the focus point.
                        Overall it's a great camera capable of producing stunning images.

                          Comments about Nikon D5100 Digital SLR Camera Body:

                          lightweight but great pictures. Especially when combined with a 35mm or 50mm prime lens. Wex are very efficient and have all the online account tools you need including good chat facility and a nice fast site to use. Add this to offering the cheapest price I could find and it's an easy decision to buy.

                          Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
