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.

This is my first DSLR camera and I love it. I'm into taking photos and decided to get a professional camera. This was a great choice.

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!!!

It does everything I want plus some. like the live view and dedicated record button. The flip open LCD keeps my screen clean and protected you can't find that on any other camera. You have to purchase a protective cover BUT not for this camera.Was kinda shocked it was so small. for girly hands that I don't have. That's why I bout the extra battery grip.

For the last year or so I have been pushing my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 to the max. I just wasn't achieving the level of quality and professionalism I needed. I knew it was not possible as long as I skirted the world of the dSLR for fear of the price tag and all that. But when I had the chance, I took the plunge into that tantalizingly beautiful world, and I have not looked back.Except when my 18-55mm lens doesn't zoom in as close as was used to with my Lumix. ;) But the depth of field, high quality, manual options, and wonderful speed of my d5100 more than make up for that. I'll just get a bigger lens some day.Also, a note for those of you who may be doing what I did and going back and forth (x1,000,000...) between the 3100 and 5100: If you're coming from the digital point-and-shoot or megazoom world, any dSLR will be better than what you've got! The 3100 is an excellent camera, and you would probably not notice much of a difference between the two*. But if your budget can handle it, I would definitely recommend the 5100. The rotating LCD is wonderful, those extra couple of megapixels are nice, and it is fast. There are some other pluses, but I haven't fully explored them all yet.Well, I think this turned out more like a blog entry than a review, but hopefully someone out there will benefit from it. And that it will encourage the step into dSLR photography.THE END.*This wisdom was imparted to me by a very kind lady in the photography department at my local Best Buy who was not out to sell me the highest-priced camera but rather to find out what I needed and help me find it. I like to give credit where credit's due, so there you have it. ;)

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?

Has great features, the price is right. I did a lot of research and the features that you get with this camera for the price they are selling it for, makes it the better buy.

The camera is pretty good. There is no limit to learning to do new things with this camera. My only complaint is that the NIKKOR lenses are too expensive. Pretty simple to use and a good beginner camera.

Still learning the camera but photos are fantastic and video in auto shooting mode. With a DSLR beyond a basic camera that fuflills your shooting profile, it is ALL about the lenses. I got a package with this that had a DVD training set which I highly recommend.

I had to get a new camera because my D60 auto feature mysteriously stopped working. This replacement is a nice upgrade. The additions of having a screen and the video feature have both come in handy. It is lighter than the D60 and the lens can be used on the 5100 body so I only needed to replace the body.

Small, light weight and a great introductory camera into the DSLR world.The flip out screen is sick. No motor in camera though, makes older lenses that have a CPU input impossible to autofocus with. Tan

Nikon D5100 is really a nice SLR for the beginners within an affordable price range. Its size and weight are also impressive.

The speed was surprisingly fast, the color vibrance makes the pictures pop, and the settings explanations inside the camera makes them easier to understand.

I've owned many Nikon SLRs and one DSLR and had no major problems. Like others I was taking photos and suddenly everything was black. I've read online this is happening to many owners, so it's not as if I got a rare lemon. Camera is 2 months past warranty and I basically have to pay the postage and to see if it can be fixed and then pay for have it fixed. Camera isn't even a year old! I've never dropped or neglected this camera in any way. Happened around photo #271 in a photo shoot with no warning. I'm very upset this has happened.

got this digital SLR on special and it was well worth the money. I did a lot of research and this camera is one of the top in its price range. If you want to shoot video, this camera shoots in 30fps..

The first week I had the camera I had the issue of "black screen" then after fixing this issue a few weeks after the shutter gets stuck and when I google this problem I come to find that this is an ONGOING ISSUE. This item should be recalled and money refunded. Not a dependable camera.
