Nikon D5100 review
Nikon's baby-of-the-range D3100 was our Editors' Choice at the close of 2010, so we have high expectations of 2011's addition to the range, the D5100 . With just £9 separating this from Canon's EOS 600D, the Nikon fields a lower 16.2-megapixel resolution.
Pros:
- Angle-adjustable LCD
- built-in effects filters for JPEG shooting
- solid build
- large, well-labelled controls
- good ergonomics
Cons:
- Manual focusing required in video mode

- Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus
- Fast Shutter Speed
- Good Image Quality

Nikon D5100 review
The position of a mid-range consumer camera can be hard to get excited about; it's not the cheapest, nor is it the most advanced in its range, and yet it fills a useful role. Rather than just slotting in quietly between the entry-level D3100 and the more advanced D7000, the new Nikon D5100 offers...
