Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Nikon D5100

I have been shooting film semiseriously for 20+ years, and also did my own BW darkroom work. Four years ago, I finally gave in to the inevitable and bought my first camera the Nikon D40. I used it mostly for snapshots at first, but the quality was so good and the convenience so tough to beat that I found myself not shooting film much anymore. So I finally decided to take digital seriously and bought the D5100. I considered the D7000 as well, but finally decided I didn't want the bigger and heavier body, and would save the extra $400 to put into lenses.This $650 camera has a sensor that is reputed to be Nikon's best at the moment, except possibly the one in the top-of-the-line D3 that sells for 7-8 times more money. I am shooting RAW +jpeg, and tweaking the RAW files in Adobe Lightroom 3. (I'm still learning my way around in the world of digital postprocessing. Luckily, Lightroom's controls are very intuitive for somebody who has done darkroom work.) Jpeg shooters should look into fine tuning the camera's Picture controls; you can find many interesting presets on the internet to tune the look. The 6-7 default modes are fine too, but you can add about 9-10 other "looks." Nikon's website has a nice tutorial on developing a custom "look" for your photos. You should also set the camera to correct lens distortions of various types.The image quality in the D5100 is quite incredible up to 800ASA, and rivals the best color films I have shot over the years. (This was not true for my old D40.) The quality drops a bit at 1600ASA, and drops more noticeably at higher speeds. One can still get usable snapshots at 3200 ASA.For the price this camera is an amazing deal. I also bought the 18-105 nikkor, and the 55-200nikkor (at $100 off with the Nikon promotion, it was too good to pass up). I have tested these lenses against my old manual focus nikkor (eg the 50/1.8 AIS) and find their image quality to be similar. The new lenses have a much higher minimum aperture than the old MF lenses, but on other hand have VR image stabilization, which allows a couple more stops of handholding ability. Thus I find little need to bring out the old manual focus lenses (except to get the occasional portrait with blurred background).Bottom line: I am really really excited about the image quality this camera gives with fairly inexpensive kit lenses, something we could only dream of 10 years ago.

I have been a member of the Nikon family for over 30 years, initially with film cameras. My first digital was a d60 in 2008, then I moved to a d3100 in 2010. I was very pleased with that but wanted to move up to a higher level product at a reasonable price level. I read all the reviews (including ones for other manufacturers' cameras) but in the end it was clear to me: the d5100 had everything I wanted and needed for the level of photography that I'm at and where I am likely to remain (by choice). I don't earn my living with photography, but do consider myself an advanced hobbyist who really enjoys taking pictures of people, events and landscapes for my own amusement and my friends' amazement. The d5100 does all that and more for a great price.In particular, what I like about it includes the better (than the d3100) sensor, the additional shooting modes that really increase my capacity to create great pictures, the easy-to-use controls, the ability to use an infra-red remote (that should have been on the d3100), and the light weight. I use three lenses: the kit 18-55mm, the fixed f1.8 35mm, and the heavier 70-300mm zoom, which do a great job on sharpness and clarity of the images.Since I moved from a d3100 it did not take long to know how to use the d5100. For me, shooting in the P mode generally works the best, and I mostly use matrix metering and AF-A mode. The built-in flash is good but I prefer to use the very capable but (relatively) inexpensive SB-400 external flash unit. Auto ISO also works well for me, although I do play with it sometimes but find it's best not to go over 3200.While I am aware of the old and true saying that people take pictures, not cameras, I would add to that that having a wonderful camera with the features of the d5100 really helps this particular person take great pictures!I am very pleased with the d5100 which combines an excellent mix of reasonable cost, ease of use, and very high quality images.

We've had this camera for about six months and so far the quality of the photos has far exceeded our expectations. Our previous DSLR was a Pentax but Nikon seems to be the standard, especially for enthusiasts and local camera clubs. The learning curve wasn't too bad. We also purchased a Nikkor 55-200 Lens at the same time and the combo with this kit is a perfect starter setup. My son dug some old manual Kiron lenses I had laying around and bought a cheap adapter and he uses them to take artsy photos (they make lens adapters for Canon, Minolta, etc). You can't go wrong with this camera.

I love this camera. It's super easy to use and i can be as creative as i want. I was going to get the d5200, but I'm glad i got this one.

This was our 1st DLSR camera that we purchased and when we started learning how to use it my wife decided she wanted one for herself! We decided to go with the newer D5200 for our other camera and really have enjoyed both equally. We're still learning how to use the camera and they have been easy to operate and we've taken some awesome pictures so far.

I love this new camera! I thought it would look a bit old caused it was used, but no it looks new! and it took only 3 days! awesome service, highly recommended. The only bad thing about this cam is that the color is not as good as my old nikon d3100, maybe its just the settings, but other than that its amazing :)

I am a retired commercial photogrpher who bought this for its DSLR video capabilities, after months of research. I found that I didnt need the Nikon D7000 16.2MP DX-Format CMOS Digital SLR with 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR ED Nikkor Lens nor would the Nikon D3100 14.2MP Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lensbe capable enough, as it had no swivel lcd but most important, no external mic capabilities. the 5100 was my choice. And I do not regret my choice except I am disappointed I cannot moniter my live view feed on an external Lcd. I was amazed by the quality of the photos, the accurecy of the exposure and the intuitiveness of its brain. Camera companies criple video capabilities of Dslrs as to not hurt their market for standard HD video cameras like my Sony HVR-HD1000U MiniDV 1080i High Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoomwhich I also give high marks to. You might refrence other reviews here to find these limitations. The manualy operated autofocus is very load and unexceptable, so I use NADY 151VR-LT Professional Wireless Lavaliere Microphone Systems for Camcorders (NADY 151VRLT) an acceptably cheap wireless mic. I have better mics though. And a must for Outdoor LiveView is Delkin Devices DU3.0-M BLK Universal Pop-Up Shade for 3.0-Inch LCDs (Black) I use class 10 Data rate sd cards. they are so cheap these days. I bought this one.Transcend 32 GB Class 10 SDHC Flash Memory Card TS32GSDHC10ETwo of my cousins each bought one after playing with mine. It does 95% of what I want at 50% the cost of the 7000. Order a second Battery as Live view (which is the only way you can shoot video) depletes your battery quickly. Love it and the Value it represents.

I got the D5100 as a step up from a D40 and am very happy with it. It has many more features including the ability to take videos (a minor feature to me) and the ability to change settings quickly and easily (a huge plus on my view). Being able to reset ISO values quickly has helped in low light situations in large rooms where flash is ineffective - I've had success in snapping lobbies and bars in Art Deco places in South Beach this past week that would not have turned out well with the D40 given the lack of time for setting up.The delivery was as fast ad promised and the camera arrived complete and in good shape.

I bought it for my son after trying to decide between Nikon or Canon and the newer Nikon which sported more mega pixels but as I later learned still didn't have some of the advanced features as this camera. I finally concluded that this Nikon was a bit faster than the Canon and would fit my son's photography style a little better for what he does. After a few months with the camera, he says he is still learning how to use it, but he loves it and is always showing a new feature on the camera he learned how to use.

This camera is awesome! Though still discovering everything it is capable of, so far have taken some amazing shots. The bundle which included two lenses is a great value and sets you up right out of the box to cover most photo opps.Will be looking for an additional lense to capture "on the field" moments when high school football starts.

I really like the D51000 camera body. I bought it mostly because of the built intervalometer since I enjoy taking time lapse photos resulting in short videos. I am disappointed with the 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens that was included as part of the camera package. This is an adequate lens for others entering the DSLR world. I've notice the resulting images are not sharp/crisp, are kind of muddy. If you are interested in taking snap shots of your kids, family, or pets to send to your friends and family, then is a the lens for you. But, if you subject matter and focus requires sharp images, then you will probably be disappointed. I plan on upgrading to a better quality Nikkor lens of $800 - $1000 or more.

Im just getting into the photography and I always hear the big names photographers talking about SLR Cameras so I decided that I had to get one for myself as well. Now i know why they talk so much about that camera. The quality is very clean (16MP) and the zoom on the lens is fantastic for beginners. I have been using it for just about 1 month and I have no regrets and loving it more and more each time I use it

This is a great camera for a novice photog and filmmaker. The ONE disadvantage is when filming YouTube videos you can hear the camera lens when it is trying to focus. It can sometimes take a while to autofocus. A fix to that is the mic I bought for it and just film editing! I won't write too much since there are a gazillion reviews on here!Check out FroKnowsPhoto on YouTube for a great in-depth review. I find his videos helpful!

Takes fantastic photos, easy to use. There's nothing I can add to all the wonderful reviews since I'm no expert on cameras, except to say thank you to all the Amazon reviewers who helped me choose a camera I would love.

I've had this camera for several months and have never been impressed with its image clarity, preferring my old D70 which takes marvelous images despite its lack of those extra megapixels. However, the camera was okay in the right situations, so I let my son use it for a dream vacation he had arranged out west. Two days after the vacation started, the camera failed utterly: every picture turned out black, although the viewfinder looked great and the focus seemed to be working. I attempted some phone troubleshooting and it looks like the shutter was working fine, but the image sensor was completely blown. This camera was securely packed, not jostled, not mistreated at all - it's just a failure. While troubleshooting I searched the Internet and found that this happens a LOT. Either the shutter or the image sensor fails and the only option is to send the camera in for repairs that last for weeks: not really an option when you're camping across the country. Nikon states that they are "not responsible for lost photo ops" but they really should be responsible for product quality, and they should replace every defective unit by overnight mail if need be. I will be getting this unit fixed at their expense and then maybe foist it upon an unsuspecting charity before running out to buy another brand. Nikon has lost a customer with this piece of junk.

this camera takes nice pictures as you would expect from a nikon.all of the "features" and "modes" are mostly gimmicks and I end up using it in M or manual mode most of the time anyway.the moveable screen is cool but often unnecessary.it actually feels more plastic and less professional than my d40 though it has a superior sensor, faster continuous shooting, wider range of iso, etc.This camera is pretty easy to use if you have ever used a nikon before.the video mode is mostly just for fun as the aperture is selectable but not the exposure or iso setting. typically with a true video camera the frame rate controls the exposure and you can only actually change the iso and the aperture. this camera automatically compensates the exposure to give you an average brightness on the screen. wtf? you cannot shoot artful dark scenes because the camera automatically adjusts the exposure or iso for you even when you try to set a desired aperture for a given light condition. this "feature" actually just hampers any creativity beyond pet or child videos. this feature also ends up giving your vids a lot of grain in lower light. even with a fast lens. 1080p with grain is not very good looking. might as well not be hd.the microphone also sucks. you could get a better one and plug it in, but the on-board audio controls are extremely basic. better to just record audio to some other device.in summary, don't use any of the built in modes or scene setting, don't use the video, and overall you can take great images with the usual manual settings and your existing set of nikkor lenses for which this camera was designed.

I absolutely LOVE this camera. I am an aspiring photojournalist, and I am used to the typical point-and-shoot cameras. I did days worth of research before I bought this camera, and let me say, I am so glad I bought this camera. It has a crisp, clear picture quality, the video quality is excellent as well, and there are so many awesome features- of which I am still exploring. I recommend this camera to anyone who loves photography and doesn't have thousands of dollars to spend. My best purchase thus far!

I bought this camera for my brother. He loves it. I don't know anything about these cameras, but my brother has taken so many great pictures and video with this one. He mentioned something about the sound when he uses the camera for video not being the best, but other than that he is very happy with the quality of this item.

I have to admit I am a beginner at photography. I did a lot of research and decided to go with the d5100. The quality of the pics are amazing. I do only auto mode but soon I will learn about the advanced settings.A tip:Make sure to get a SD card as otherwise you won't be able to save pics. Good thing I got one at time of ordering.

I have had several high quality consumer cameras over the past 10 years or more. This is my first what I would call a semi-professional camera. It is amazing. The quality of the photo is fantastic. I have been using a Cannon Power Shot S3IS for the past few years. It is a nice camera but not on the same level as the D5100. The D5100 has a much higher Megapixel count which improves the image by itself, but the photo processing is also greatly improved. The D5100 has many scenes and effect modes that helps the amateur (that would be me:)) take great shots right out of the box. After a little reading I have started experimenting with the professional settings and have had great results. This camera is making me a super photographer.If you are looking for an affordable, high powered, super DSLR camera, look no further.

Cnet gave the best overall review of the product. It does feel plasticy, however the photos that i have taken on the first day are amazing. The camera is super user friendly for those who arent DSLR savy, but the advanced modes make for more creative photos

It is functioning good. Picture quality is good and battery charge stays for a reasonable time. Looking for some more features.

If you just want to shoot and not fuss around all day with your settings, this is a great camera. I'm used to a larger, heavier camera, so this one seems very light and about a finger's width too small; I was able to remedy that with a battery grip. Be aware that if your lenses aren't AF-S type, they will work with this camera but you will be limited to manual focus.

I've been shooting with my D80 for the last 4 years now and have been very happy with it, but was bothered by the high ISO quality and the lack of video. Read a lot of the reviews on Amazon and agree w/ most of them. Just wanted to toss out my experience with my Sigma 18-250 HSM lens that I paired up with this camera, since there doesn't seem to be any of those experiences on the internet right now. Overall, I think that the lens combination really seems to be working well. The lens of big and heavy, disproportionally more than the camera which is lighter than the D80 that I had. I am purchasing the battery grip to give it a little more balance, just like I did with my D80. Shooting-wise, it does great. Love the clean pics up to ISO 3200, unheard of on my D80. Using the Liveview is a little but more annoying. It seems to struggle to autofocus when the lens is zoomed out. I read that it needs a fast aperture to be able to do live view, and the Sigma for all of its benefits is really slow. So, consider that if you're planning doing a lot of liveview, which I don't. Love the articulating screen. Don't really miss the second screen on the top of the camera. It's not too annoying to just hit the "info" button if I want to know more data. Also, the live view was really helpful for using a manual focus f/1.4 85 mm lens that I had. I couldn't focus on anything accurately enough through the viewfinder.Anyways, just wanted to toss my data out there. Love this camera.
