Nikon D5100 Digital SLR with 18-55mm VR Lens Further Details

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 with 18-55mm VR Lens:

            I purchased this deal and i must say that the service i received from Wex was excellent. When i received the camera, i wasnt able to open the battery lid as it was little tight(which is usual) but i thought there was a fault so i called wex and they arranged it to be collected in 3 hours time and i got it back in 2 days.
            There was actually no fault on the battery lid as i was just being too cautious and they called me before explaining the same to me.
            The guys on the telephone line were very cool too. 5Star service over all and about the product...well i guess every one knows it..its very good.
            Also, I got my Nikon cashback and every thing else mentioned in this deal.....its a pity though that I still havent recieved my TCB cashback after purchasing it on 18 Jan 2013! It was over all a Super Deal!

            Comments about Nikon D5100 Digital SLR with 18-55mm VR Lens:

            Quite easy to use, if in doubt the Auto setting offers a great easy solution. Focusing can take a while to get used to and not right every time but with a digital you have the scope to keep taking as many photos as you want. On the other hand, it can be tricky to set up quickly for impromptu wildlife shots.

            Comments about Nikon D5100 Digital SLR with 18-55mm VR Lens:

            I use the camera every day. It's superb in good weather, less easy to get perfect shots on overcast days. Good in low light as you can increase the ISO quite a lot before you lose too much quality.

            Comments about Nikon D5100 Digital SLR with 18-55mm VR Lens:

            The D5100 was recommended to me by a professional photographer, I can see why he recommended it as it has loads of features, I was looking at the D3100 but I am glad I have bought the D5100. The only thing I would have preferred would be the step by step guide on the camera that the D3100 has, as I a total novice, but once I get more experienced I am sure this will not be an issue and the camera has the qualities that I can use as I progress.
