Nikon D5100 + AF S VR DX 18 55 mm + AF S VR DX 55 200 mm: Wow what a great sharp picture
Used this for a family shoot today with great results. So easy to point and click but the results are truly excellent. The pictures are sharp and the colors truly vivid. The controls once you have got used to them are pretty intuitive though mostly I use the auto settings.

I like this camera. I'm an old film photographer, but finally gave in to the digital snapshot revolution just to take pictures. I finally decided to jump back into the DSLR world, and this is a great camera for starting back. Complex, but manageable, and such a range of options to take excellent...

It's a great camera...
I bought my Nikon D5100 last October, and it was my first major purchase. I had used my parent's DSLR in the past but was ready to upgrade, and get my own. I was torn between this and the Canon Rebel, but I decided to get the Nikon because I already had a Nikor lense from my parent's camera.
Pros:
- Reliable Viewing Screen rotates Easy to use and understand Easy to change lenses
Cons:
- Photos not as sharp as Canon ones

Size : Compact, but the grip may be a bit too small depending on how big your hands are. Images : Just great. Not really far behind it's newer brothers. Video : Meh, kinda sucks. For better video, go to other brands or to higher end models.

Its a Nikon
All I can say is plan for the future. If you are going to keep using a DX and never plan on upgrading to a FX, you can not lose, period. When you do plan on upgrading every thing you have lens wise will work on any Nikon D series.
Pros:
- Name says it all
- I have owned Nikon camera's from the late 70's to now
- I purchased this camera to see if I still had the passion for photography I use to have, I do
- I selected the D5100 because it was cheap and had great reviews.
Cons:
- The *only* con that I would report would be somewhat limited total control
- But I know this going in, so it's not really a con

Fantastic Camera!!!!!
Fantastic Camera!!! Easy to use, right out of the box; in automatic modes. But, also has many advanced features that would make any advanced photographer happy! I especially love the variable position monitor: it makes it extremely easy to shoot pictures at floor level, or to shoot down on a...

Still One Of The Best
The Nikon D5100 has long since been considered a reliable yet affordable DSLR, even with the various advancements made in camera technology over the past year. It has a CMOS sensor with an optical resolution of 16.2 megapixels, an 11 point phase detection auto focus system and an ISO range of 100 to...

More complicated than ist DL but higher resolution plus gadgets.
The Pentax ist DL was a good travel recorder with quick point and shoot options but its battery life was a pain and the 6M Raw capture was quickly left behind with technology. Nikon screen size about equal, battery life greatly improved over DL and far greater pixel per image (16 M Raw capture) for...
Pros:
- Compact
- Build quality
- Battery life
Cons:
- Complicated

great camera
photos really pop, shine, however you describe it, nikons in general have excellent image quality. not very good battery life, buy another battery or two. auto focus is kind of slow and squirrely, build quality is cheap but great pics.
