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.

Could be better
Whilst this camera does everything it says on the tin there are certain aspects that one would expect to be better from a product bearing the name Nikon. Other than having a greater pixel count and Live View it seems to perform little better than my Pentax K10 from which I have updated.

Great value for money
Great camera for the money, exceptional image quality. The flippy lcd is great for shots at awkward angles and for getting pinpoint focus with macros. Very wide dynamic range and great hi ISO perfomance.The liveview implementation is lacking especially if you try and shoot manually, the focus...
Pros:
- Great Features
- Great Picture Quality
- Lightweight
- Simple Controls
Cons:
- Focus Point Selector
- Inadequate Features

Fantastic Camera
This camera has captured some of the most amazing pictures i've ever seen. the colors are much more vibrant then my sony 10mp point and shoot. For the price this camera can't be beat. Make sure you buy a fast SD card, it helps.
Pros:
- Easy to Use
- Great Resolution
Cons:
- doesn't come with a fast sd card

Ammmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaazing camera!!!!
I have been looking at purchasing a Nikon for over a year now but hadnt found "the right one". I went to local stores and tried them all out.... I had found this one and played around with it, decided I liked it but didnt like the price as I had to pay extra for the lens.......
