My wife and I shoot a local short track asphalt racing. We had purchased a Nikon D7000 and needed another camera but couldn't quite swing the cost of another. After researching we found that the D5100 shared a lot of the same features as the D7000 at a considerable savings. While the D7000 does have a few advantages of the D5100, for the money we feel like we made a good decision.

Abour 7 years ago I bought a D70 and used it with the 18-200 lens and the 50 mm f1.8. The 50 mm does not work on the new camera (it would work on the higher priced 7000.I was thinking about an upgrade to a new camera for a couple of months and as I left this months for a cruise to the Holy Land I decided that I better do it now. And I am glad I did.I took the 18-200 and for inside photos my son's 35 mm Nikon f 1.8 as in many churches you were not allowed to use a flash. It worked great. The adjustable LCD screen is great also when you want to shoot photos holding the camera above a crowd or to shoot photos of people when I wanted them not to see that I was shooting a photo.A definate buy.Christian BellingrathApollo Beach, FL

I have been a nikon user for more than 12 years, and I end up with the D5100 as a step down from the super D90. I had some issues with the D90 after 3 years of using it, and when I wanted to change to the D7000, the market was empty and I couldn't locate one, so I got the D5100 which have the same sensor, almost same features and here are the good things about it:1- amazing photo quality for automatic settings2- good low light and no-flash photos, acceptable noise in high iso3- very light even with power zoom (18-200 vr)what I mis1- the "click" in the shutter, the D5100 is so not egressive, it sound very soft2- the "grip" as compared to the D90. this one feels like a toy and its too small3- the control bottons are not well located , its al little bit confusing to select options4- no top LCDoverall, its a good camera, and i am happy but not very happy with the handling, but its a keeper.

Wanted a quality camera for a begining photographer. The D-5100 is light weight, yields beautiful images printed at 11.5 x 17 inches, learning to change settings on controlls by using navigator dial on rear is quick and easy, and there is a help button on the right rear side with quick hints. The rotating rear screen lets you aquire images at odd angles. The top of the camera does not have a settings window on the right side, but the simple push of a button opens a window with setting data on the rear screen.BOTTOM LINE: We took two of these on a recent trip, and both new photographers aquired beautiful shots.

I don't know that I can even say how much I love this camera. For all types of shooting this camera seems to be able to do it all. I have all Nikon lenses for this camera and really cannot say I dislike anything. I only have one thing that I have struggled with which is the delayed and remote shutter settings seem to be lacking for my desire. But simply amazing photos become the usual so quickly with this thing.

I purchased this camera as a "back-up" camera to my Nikon D80 and also for the purpose of recording videos. For the price, it's a great camera! Using my 35mm lens, it record very crisp video and the sound quality isn't terrible, either! I'd definitely recommend it for someone wanting a more simple DSLR with the ability to record!

This is my fourth Nikon DSLR body, so there is a big comfort factor for me with compatibility for Nikon flash, Nikon lenses, and user interface protocols. Image quality is slightly but noticeably better than the D5000. I've had it for two weeks, and have been enjoying the effects options and high ISO performance. No-brainer snapshots are readily accessible in AUTO mode, and low light performance is quite good with the 35mm f1.8 lens. For the price, this is outstanding.

To be fair, after two weeks playing with it and now comparing it to a newly arrived D7000, I have to say that for non-technical shooting and general snap-shots, this is a nice little camera. In most cases, its photos are indestiguishable from the D7000, and that is the bottom-line in 95% of the cases. Both cameras outperform anything Nikon has put out in the prosumer range prior to this. I loved my D90 and used it more than my D300, which I now only use for studio work, or when I might get banged-up in the field. The D7000 performs better than the D300 and it's lighter. The D5100 is still close, but with such limited options, it just isn't as versatile or adaptable as the others.I got a tongue-lashing for caring about a depth of field button, but professionals use selective focus a lot! The focus array on the D5100 seems adequate, but I found two situations today where the D7000 did a better job. I'm going to take both bodies out to shoot aspen and the rut tomorrow. We'll see how they do in a real work situation. I'll probably use the D5100 for wide angle and macro shots. I'll use the D7000 for big, fast lenses that might be too much for a plastic body.I haven't tried movie mode or some of the other features of either camera. The "special effects" menu looks like toyland, and I doubt anyone serious about photography would use them.This is a decent camera. I like its size, but not its handling, even with a vertical grip. The "Live View" is not particularly impressive, especially outdoors in the sun. The 16 MP feature is overkill in most situations. After 10MP, more is not necessarily better...unless you have very special purposes. We just tend to be memory gluttons on electronics in general. I have a 65" TV and past 1900 or maybe, 2400 pixels, it's overkill. When was the last time you printed a 30'X40" print?In the end, it is what it is...A nice, simple camera that takes decent photos without a lot of hassle.

This camera was bought when D70s quit working correctly and fixing it would cost nearly as much as a new D5100 body. It's lighter and smaller but feels well balanced and focuses very quickly with a 18-70mm Nikkor Zoom Lens and a 55-200mm (Vibration Reduction) Nikkor Zoom Lens used previously. It provides a step up with much better ISO light sensitivity, resolution and focusing. We haven't taken enough pictures yet to comment about its reliabiltiy.

It was a toss up between the 5100 and the 3100. But the 5100 has a swivel view screen that you can pull out and turn a variety of ways to see what you are shooting. 16.2 MP is nothing to sneeze at. Camera is easy to use, automatic settings or manual. NIkon makes some of the best lenses available. The 18-55 mm is going to make most folks who do landscape and people pictures happy.

With Nikon lenses this camera is a typical of Nikon Philosophy cameras. Good WYSIWYG in the viewer. The sync for flashes seems to be only truly dedicated to Nikon flashes; other flashes work, but only straight on, not indirectly or bounce mode. f/11 and f/16 are quite sharp. The preset camera modes are generally good, but low light demands a tripod for some. The meter system is better than the D-40 in most cases.

Upgraded to this camera from a couple of old Minolta film cameras (one manual, one automatic).I can't speak to all the technical details, it seems to do what it needs to do well, and has enough advanced functions to keep an amateur like myself both busy, engaged, and sometimes bewildered.Great pictures when great pictures are composed, vivid colors, all around happy with this.If you're an amateur, have a limited budget, and still want some room to grown and learn, I certainly recommend this.My biggest gripes: lack of a real HDR setting (which is probably appreciated by others), and, as far as I can tell, when setting the camera to shoot with a remote, you can only take one picture and then have to go back to the camera to set up again. Weird.

I have not been this happy with a digital SLR purchase since the 1d Mk2 around 2004/5. It does everything that you need in an SLR, but at the price of an advanced P&S.If it were not for professional use (high demands on a camera body for speed and durability), this would be THE Dslr for me. Swivel screen makes it fun to get low/high and compose your shots. Focusing with the center point is great, fast(ish) and accurate to a fault using the likes of a 40mm micro, and 17-55/2.8 Nikkor.The resolution is great and provides real estate that allows for detailed and beautiful prints up to around 20x30". Great set of features for this price bracket too.Get one.

So I purchased the body only last Thursday. I may have taken two pictures and I saw 4 consistent spots on f11 and higher. I used a different lens and took multiple pictures over and over again and the same spots occurred. Nikon's Clean image sensor function couldn't get it off whatever that was. It did take good pictures below f11 with minor visibility of those spots but a brand new camera shouldn't have that problem. It could have been a defective or returned item as the components seemed to be packed in a rush. I also noticed some imprint on camera's body and I know for sure that Nikon doesn't slap an LCD protector on the screen(that confirmed my suspicion).Quality defects - memory card grinds upon inserting and removing; battery refuses to come out.Not happy

This is just a first impression review because, I've only had the camera for a couple days. So far, I am enjoying my D5100 a lot. I am finding a lot of tutorials on YouTube.com that are helping me learn the basics. I already know that I will be investing money into new lenses, probably a Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras first and then a Rokinon FE8M-C 8mm F3.5 Fisheye Lens for Canon - Black for filming my friends' skateboarding. I am having trouble finding a video editing software I feel comfortable using. I'm not sure whether to go with Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, or what! Also, I've heard editing HD video can be hard on your computer (vista+4GB RAM=meh).SO yeah, I've got a long confusing road ahead of me.

After a very careful use of the Nikon D5100, is it sad to see that the shutter mechanism is broken after three months; when the camera is most needed. On this particular model many D5100 customers are having the same issues with shutter mechanisms. Nikon should definitely re-evaluate their design/manufacturing methods. I have been a loyal Nikon customer for the last 35 years, still own many Nikon cameras and lenses. But loyalty is quite perishable when design(or manufacturing)-flaw-fix-costs are stuck back onto the customer. Nikon should think about lifelong warranty including the mechanical parts inside the camera unless there is evidence that the camera is dropped, tempered with etc. Since the shutter issue it is not covered under warranty, Nikon is asking over $150 to fix the shutter mechanism.

My fiancé and I wanted this camera for our upcoming honeymoon trip to Iceland. We've yet to go to as our wedding is still approaching, but we decided to get this camera early to learn the basics.We're glad we got it early, and have already figured out how to use the basic scene modes. We've played with the HDR functionality, and taken a few videos.There is nothing bad that I can yet say about this camera. After loads of online research and a few in-store visits to retailers, we knew this was the ideal camera for the price.The photos to my eye are phenomenal, and for our purpose this is all that we could have asked for.The learning curve is whatever you make it with this camera. We initially learned the basics in no time at all. We're now experimenting with other settings that we have to dig through the camera menu for. Everything on the menu makes sense and it is easy to navigate.Very fun, light, full-featured, compact camera! Thanks Nikon!!!

Folks,You can leave this on the AUTO setting, and the pictures look great. I either leave it on this setting or put it on the P setting, and leave the settings at: White Balance: Auto > OK > A2; Set Picture Control: SD > OK > Sharpening: 7, Saturation: +1; Active D-Lighting: Extra High. Leave everything else as default/AUTO. These settings seem to beat the AUTO settings, especially when taking lower light/indoor photos. This could simply be a personal preference, though. Sometimes also putting on HDR (settings: default), on top of what I've set above also helps when you notice very high light-dark (light contrast) shots in front of you.The only issue I see is that this camera tends to massively increase the ISO (1500-3000+) in slightly lower lighting conditions, when it is not needing to do so. Put it on P (or M, A, S),and the camera does not reach for those crazy-high ISO settings; you can bound the ISO Auto setting's lowest & highest numbers.Also, I have seen no/extremely little noise, with photos, even when I magnify them, when the ISO is upwards of 800-1000 levels; you get above these levels, and you begin to see increasing levels of noise, but only if you crop/magnify the picture 150%+.The only complaints I have are that it eats through the battery charge, even when not in live mode, and, if you want (and should) buy a secondary battery, they are very expensive!Great camera!MarcP.S. Folks, what P (or M, A, S) settings do you like?
