Nikon D5100

If you are looking for excellent photo quality and practical features, Nikon D5100 fits the bill perfectly. I bought it a couple of months ago. I haven’t had any issues so far. It is one of the best cameras in my opinion. It is also an affordable device. I didn’t have to spend a fortune on it. Nikon has again lived up to its reputation and the expectations of consumers.

A promising device, Nikon D5100 offers flawless photo quality, not to mention excellent shooting design for both video and photo. It scores in all respects – quality, features, design, performance, etc. The camera is well equipped with a high resolution sensor. You can look forward to satisfactory image quality.

Another highlight about the camera is good quality JPEG noise profile. Here’s a brief overview of its many features: 12.3 megapixel CMOS sensor, 11-pt AF center auto focus, good shutter speed and metering, 2 GB HD video length, 3.0 LCD monitor, etc.

I like the sleek and chic design of the camera – makes it look distinctive! The two disadvantages about the camera that you need to know are there is no focus motor and image stabilization.

All said and done, Nikon D5100 is definitely better than its predecessor D5000. It is smaller and more appealing visually. The side-hinging LCD screen is also an added advantage. Also, it doesn’t weigh as much as D5000. However, if you compare it with its competitor Rebel T3i/EOS 600 D, you might want to opt for the latter.
