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

Nikon D5100 Review
All in all, I absolutely love the Nikon D5100. It's an easy-to-carry and easy-to-use entry-level DSLR. The image quality is impressive and Nikon's growing line of AF-S lenses for use with the D5100 moves it to the top of my recommendation list for new DSLR owners.

Nikon D5100 16.2Mp DSLR
The D5100 is evidence of Nikon fine-tuning its entry-level range for a users that demand increasingly more complex, all-round DSLRs but expect greater ease of use and creative extras too. While I thoroughly enjoyed shooting with the D5100, the camera is by no means perfect.
