Nikon D5100 Review
Overall, I had a very positive experience with the Nikon D5100. The camera is capable of delivering excellent results both for digital stills and video. As can be seen from image comparisons against other older Nikon DSLRs, the sensor on the Nikon D5100 and D7000 DSLRs is truly remarkable.

Nikon D5100
Retailing for approximately ￡670 body only or ￡750 with an 18-55mm VR kit lens, the Nikon D5100 replaces the D5000 as Nikon's advanced entry-level DSLR. Sitting below the enthusiast-level D7000 but above the bare-bones D3100, the D5100 takes some advanced specifications from the former and mixes...
Pros:
- Hi-resolution articulated monitor
- Easy to use
- Much improved live view AF
Cons:
- Special Effects a bit limited
- No wireless flash control/DoF preview

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

Hands-on Report: Nikon D5100 DSLR camera review
On April 5, 2011, nearly two years after the launch of the well regarded (and quite popular) Nikon D5000, Nikon announced its much anticipated advanced entry-level replacement DSLR, the . Like the D5000, the D5100 trickles down impressive image sensor technology to price-minded photographers.

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.
