D5100 Review

minor fixes: 7/28/2011 update: 10/12/2012 Nikon D5100 Review The "Just Right" Model? Add a comment or send Thom feedback on this article. Update: we're more than halfway through the D5100's expected life, with a new version likely in spring 2013.
Pros:
  • Film SLR owner who hasn't gone digital
  • The D5100 has some nice aspects that'll make you very happy, but if you've got a lot of older lenses, you won't be happy
  • The manual focus ones won't meter and the old autofocus lenses won't focus.
Cons:
  • Film SLR owner who hasn't gone digital
  • The D5100 has some nice aspects that'll make you very happy, but if you've got a lot of older lenses, you won't be happy
  • The manual focus ones won't meter and the old autofocus lenses won't focus.

Nikon D5100 Review

Conceptually, the Nikon D5100 absolutely fills up the gap in Nikon's line-up between the entry-level D3100 and the much more enthusiast-orientated D7000 - getting married to the ease-of-use of the former with the picture great company's latter.

Pros:
