In addition to delivering superb image quality, both aim to strike a balance between ease of use for the beginner and sophisticated controls for the more advanced photographer.

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
The Nikon D5100 is a excellent camera, updating it's predecessor and offering a competitive alternative to the Canon rival at a similar price and spec. The Canon offers, we feel, more direct control (including on-board wireless flash control), but the Nikon on-screen information is excellently...
Pros:
- Image quality
- focusing
- video quality
- Effects mode gives some quick and fun results
- vari-angle screen
- low light performance
Cons:
- Controls could be better arranged to give you direct control of shooting features with less dependency on the menus
- Effects could offer more settings
- camera neither feels simple enough for newcomers or direct enough for the more advanced photographer

Nikon D5100: Review
The Nikon D5100 is an important step forward in the history of SLR cameras. Make available, in an entry-level price, features and qualities typical of more expensive models and semi-professional. Just think of the 16 mega pixel sensor and, above all, the high quality in the images it captures.
Pros:
- Image quality
- features and specifications semiprofessional
Cons:
- We would have preferred a greater customization of the buttons

Nikon D5100 18-55mm VR Kit review
Nikon's latest mid-price consumer SLR is pitched to go head-to-head with the Canon EOS 600D The two cameras are uncannily similar, with very little to separate their dimensions, weights and prices.

- Camera looks good, ticks the box in terms of style, strap is a nice length around your Neck doesnt hang too low. - Image quality by and large looks good, want a wide angle lens and need to understand better ISO's that keep using Auto and pre defined modes for shooting.
Pros:
- Complete Novice like me can pick the camera up and use the different modes

As near to a professional camera in features as one could want; a price that is in the "novice" range. Read the book - you'll find features that will surprise and impress you. I was an industrial photographer (professional) for almost FORTY years and purchased this because I wanted a camera that I...
