Nikon D5100 DSLR Camera Review

If you are new to DSLR cameras and want a quality entry-level model, the Nikon D5100 16.2 Megapixel digital camera is a compelling choice.

This solid and well-rounded mid-range digital camera delivers excellent photo quality, is packed with features and has an attractive design. It performs well in low light, and the level of detail captured is outstanding.

The Nikon D5100 is a consumer level DSLR camera that is considered a high-end enthusiast DSLR. It delivers the same image quality as its bigger brother the D7000, but with a less expensive and lighter package.

The in-camera special effects allow you to be creative with the shots. You can also easily switch to video mode and take exceptionally good movie images.

Another great feature is the flip out 3-inch LCD screen which comes in handy when you are taking pictures at various angles. The screen resolution is very sharp.

Nikon D5100 is easy to use for beginners while offering enough great features that will satisfy avid photographers.
