    Product Description

    From the Manufacturer





    The Nikon D5100 offers a host of new photographic and video tools that deliver superior performance and exceptional image quality with surprising versatility. With 16.2 megapixels, a swivel Vari-Angle LCD monitor, full HD movie capabilities, new EFFECTS Mode and new HDR setting, you hold the power and performance to capture beautiful moments and the freedom to get creative.




    Vari-angle LCD Monitor

    Creativity from any point of view

    Take pictures or record movies from a unique viewpoint, the D5100’s 3.0 inch, super sharp, 921,000-dot Vari-angle LCD monitor allows for versatile high quality viewing and playback. Explore every angle, with overhead shots, waist level candids, ground level and fun self portraits; you will never miss a shot. This Vari-angle monitor allows you to be creative from any point of view.





    Effects Mode

    More fun and artistic pictures and movies

    The D5100 incorporates an amazing array of special effects for use when taking still pictures or recording D-Movie Full HD movies. Selective Color isolates any color within the scene, capture details in places too dark for your own eyes using Night Vision, create bright, glowing images filled with atmosphere with High Key, emphasize the mood of a scene using Low Key, Miniature Effect makes a scene look like a miniature scale model and Color Sketch creates color outlines of the subject that are played back as a series of stills in a slide show.





    Tell better stories

    Full HD 1080p D-Movie with Sound

    The D5100 delivers exceptionally high-quality movie performance due to its full HD capability while the latest in full-time autofocus takes the guess work out of tracking your subjects while in motion. Effortless moviemaking is at your fingertip thanks to D5100’s ergonomically placed Live View and Movie start button. Your D-Movies will come to life thanks to D5100’s sound recording capability — get stereo sound with Nikon’s optional ME-1 Stereo Microphone.







    HDR (High Dynamic Range)

    Exquisite detail in highlight and shadow

    In scenes with extreme contrasts, such as bright, sunlit clouds and a foreground deep in shadow, it was once quite difficult to render the textures of both equally. Not any more. D5100 combines two exposures to create an image revealing an extremely wide dynamic range, but with less noise and richer color gradation than ever before.





    Stunning image quality

    Image quality in a class of its own

    Incorporating the latest Nikon D-SLR technologies such as the 16.2MP DX-format CMOS sensor and EXPEED 2 image processing engine, the D5100 delivers outstanding image quality. Its CMOS sensor offers a remarkably wide ISO range (ISO 100 to 6400) with reduced noise which enables you to shoot at faster shutter speeds and capture scenes and subjects with less blur. Handheld shooting and full HD movies come out looking great even in low light.








    Speed and performance that delivers

    With high-speed continuous shooting at approx. 4 frames per second, you’ll never miss a moment and with D5100’s large optical viewfinder providing accurate and realistic composition, you’ll get a precise view and focus in every situation.





    Capture your subjects precisely

    D5100’s 11-point AF system provides flexibility to compose the shot you want ensuring your subject is captured sharply wherever it’s located in the frame. Working together with the Scene Recognition System, the camera can keep your main subject in focus even if the composition changes using Nikon’s exclusive 3D-tracking.





    Nikon D5100 In-depth Review by dpreview.com

    Read the full Nikon D5100 review at dpreview.com
    Sitting between the entry-level D3100 and the upper mid-level D7000, the D5100 is a hard camera to categorise. It combines the user-friendly ergonomics of the D3100 with the impressive 16MP CMOS sensor of the D7000, but throws in a couple of neat tricks of its own, including an articulated LCD screen, and a set of all-new 'Effects' modes. So is the Nikon D5100 just an entry-level camera with delusions of grandeur, or is it a wolf in sheep's clothing?

    I like it alot :)
    Nikon D5100 review:My humble opinion is that Nikon has really outdone itself with this camera.All the rave reviews and Ad statements are true.Like a few others, I bought this camera because I sometimes find lugging My D300s and associated equipment cumbersome and somewhat overkill for what I am going to shoot. I was going on a short trip and wanted to bring my camera along and do some fun shooting. I started packing my stuff and realized it would really be a chore carrying this stuff (the temperature was 111 degrees and not going to be getting any cooler for a while). So I decided just to leave it home. The day I got home I ordered the D5100. I had been looking at this camera as a solution and had actually recommended it to a friend who is new to DSLR Photography and got to help her set her camera up. So my interest was really peaked. Anyways, I bought it and I am happy and amazed.I Like:Its light weight and easy to pack and carry.Image quality and sharpness is outstanding.Movie clips easy.The Special effects are really fun.The shutter is really quiet.The pop up flash is not a power monger like on my old D60 so you can actually use it.Also the pop up flash can be put into manual mode (over the default TTL mode) and you can set the power level. In this mode I use the pop up to trip remote/Slave flash units. NB: by the way this option is not covered in the manual.Some not really cons:I'm used to being able quickly change shooting parameters on my D300s with the options on the camera body. On the D5100 you have to go into the menu structure or hit the info button and scroll through and change the parameters on the screen. I'm getting used to it (So, not really bad).I do like to shoot in manual mode and only having a single command dial which changes the shutter speed and having to hold down the exposure compensation button to change the aperture is a little annoying. Have to learn to live with it.Oh and:Using the selective color... you cannot pop the pop up flash. However, if you want (after you have set up your selection and are ready to shoot) you can mount an external flash like the SB400 and the flash will work fine. I used this process to also trigger a remote flash while using the selective color effect.ThanksThat's all folks :)
