I am semi-new at photography and want to learn EVERYTHING. I have a D3200 that I have been learning on and decided to try others. I bought this camera and another camera at the same time. This is a step up from the D3200 and is a really nice camera. I like it a lot. I would recommend this camera.

It almost can't take a bad picture! I have renewed my love of photography with the Nikon D5100 from when I used a completely manual Pentax 35mm in high school when the Manual setting was all you had; setting your own f-stop, shutter speed, flash distance, etc. This camera does it all, but I prefer to use either A, S or flat out M to get the shot I want. The kit lens is pretty standard but excellent. Great for those kids or pet shots around the house, snap shots of family and events. Found this on Amazon on a Christmas sale for $75 less than the D3100 that I had my eye on at Best Buy. (That's a $250 price reductions!!) Merry Christmas to me!!

I am an amateur photographer, and the D5100 meets my needs. I am satisfied about 99% of my results. Interchanging the lens is very easy and quick. I had a Nikon N 90S , and a Nikon F-2N. I am happy with all three.

First of all, I'm very pleased with the camera and lenses. It's more than meeting my expectations for an entry-level DSLR. I'm also very satisfied with the service provided by the seller. My order was processed and shipped promptly. I paid only for standard shipping and would have had it in my hands by the end of the third business day had someone been home to sign for it.

Loved the size and light weight but the autofocus became a huge issue for me over time. Missed too many good shots just because the darn thing would not find focus in time, especially in darker setting ie indoors and at night. The quality of the pictures was okay but I finally realized this camera is just underpowered for my needs (can't really think anybody but total amateur could be happy with it). The live shooting mode is next to useless because of how long it takes to focus and how unreliable the focus is int this mode (this is still a huge issue for most DSLRs). Was happy to advance to a D600, although even this camera could use the more advanced autofocus of the D800 ie 51 points instead of the 39 points it has (silly of Nikon to have purposefully undermined its functionality that way). Can't really recommend this camera to anyone except somebody who can't afford any better or needs the portability above all other considerations.

I am still learning all the things that this camera can do, but so far the few features I have experimented with have been awesome. I like to shoot at night and low light levels, this camera handles it wonderfully well. Crisp clean pro pictures are easy to get with a VR lens.

For the price, it's not an awful camera. This was my first dslr & it lasted me a long while. Great starter camera. It however does like to freeze when flipping through screens but that's not that terrible. The auto focus is mediocre. The flip out screen is handy for a LOT of reasons and i will miss that when i upgrade. Overall, worth the buy. You probably won't get a nicer one for the price

Let me begin by saying I'm a published photographer. I learned how to take pictures, luckily by hanging out on Hollywood studio sets. I'm a longtime Nikon camera buff who also loves different film stocks. But the problem with film is even here in Los Angeles it's hard to get film developed quickly. So after years of not wanting to go to digital, I decided to buy me a decent DSLR.Like many old guys who loved their built like a tank Nikons, there was much to hate about the new Nikons. Too much plastic, cheap build, blah, blah, blah.Yes, the latest DSLR cameras are fragile, but that's still my only complaint. In every way, the capabilities of these new cameras will win you over. If I could have owned a camera twenty years ago that could shot 4 pics a second, lets me see the pictures instantly, lets me crop and color correct on the spot, lets me show my client what I already have shot, was completely silent when focusing, battery life that lasts, brackets automatically and shots high def video, all for less than $600 I would have laughed. $600 was for just one lens, let alone the camera body.But this D5100 does alot right. The picture quality is astounding. In the great Nikon tradition, the pictures are sharp and the contrast of each image is wonderful. The flexibility of this camera is amazing. I can still put my old AF lenses on the camera, courtesy of a lens mount created in 1959. The only thing is you have to focus those old lenses manually. No big deal there. I even wanted to hate the new lens cover designs and lens hoods, but they all do the job and while plastic, it's pretty darn good plastic.The 18-55mm lens is awesome for a variety of shooting situations, much better than the standard, and pretty useless 50mm they used to give you with most camera body purchases.As a result of this camera, I'm getting back into photography with a good deal of excitement. It's nice that Nikon has allowed me to use some of my old equipment with all the new technology.I didn't want to be impressed, but the stuff is pretty cool.

Looking through reviews for this camera, I occasionally see it described as a good "entry level" camera. This is such an elitist thing to say. It's essentially saying, "My camera is more advanced, so since you're buying this, you're a beginner." If the D5100 is a good entry level camera, then the D4 is a spectacular entry level camera. This camera is more advanced than Nikon's flagship professional model ten years ago.The D5100 has virtually every feature that today's enthusiast could hope for. There are plenty of lists out there, and I won't repeat the myriad of features.One thing that I like in particular is the layout of the data on the LCD screen while shooting. All of the common things that you want access to on a regular basis is right there and easy to change. No wandering through hierarchies of menus to change picture size, iso or white balance. And even though I need glasses for everything else, I don't need them for this.If I could change one thing, it would be the grip. Previous Nikons I've owned have had a fuller hand grip. This one seems much smaller. I'm not talking about the height. I like to feel like I've got a firm hold on the camera. With this small grip, I feel like I'm just holding onto the edge of something.But aside from that, I couldn't be happier. Best entry level camera I've purchased since that used Pentax Spotmatic I bought in 1970.

I bought this camera from a different retailer with an extra AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G IF-ED lens because I wanted to have it in my hands instantly.First off, let me say that I love this thing! I don't think i've left the house without is since I bought it a week and a half ago. This was really my first foray into serious photography. I skipped right over the point and shoot stage and got one of these. I consulted a friend of mine who teaches art and photography courses at the university where I work and eventually landed on the 5100. I looked hard at the D7000, but didn't want to forfeit the extra coin. Now I kind of wish that I had.As I said before, I love the camera, BUT...As my friend told me, there are lots of functions buried in menus rather than being available directly on the camera body. I didn't think it would bother me since this was really my first d-slr. I am a quick learner though and i'm now shooting in manual mode pretty confidently. That being said there are some things that I wish weren't in menus such as ISO, focus mode, metering, shutter release mode, picture control, bracketing, etc... There are a few features like ISO and shutter release mode that can be mapped to the self timer button (one or the other) but then you lose the functionality of the immediate access to the self timer. The fact that shutter speed and aperture are controlled with the same command dial (shutter by turning the command dial alone and aperture by holding the exposure compensation/aperture button and then turning the command dial) isn't too much of a burden, but when you have to hold 2 buttons AND turn the command dial to adjust flash compensation it gets a bit tedious.I would have liked to have the 2 SD card slots that the 7000 has to store raw and jpg on separate cards, but oh well - not that big of a deal. Although the camera is made of some sort of plastic composite material (what isn't these days?), it feels substantial and well-made in your hands.All in all, you will not be disappointed with this camera. It takes amazing images and the effects mode will have some nice surprises for you. You can do some basic editing directly on the camera as well. Live view is very nice with the variable angle display but you can't see the light/ISO meter on it. the body of the camera is compact and light so you don't feel like you have a laptop hanging from your neck. I've found the battery life to be marvelous when you don't use the flash or live view extensively. I was glad that spare/replacement batteries aren't too expensive for this baby either.There is a learning curve to using the menus, but they are surprisingly more intuitive than I expected. If you can read and make use of the help button, you will be able to figure out a lot without even looking at the manual! I do recommend reading the manual that lives on the CD that comes with your camera. I have copied that to my hard drive and my smart phone for quick reference. It goes into much more detail than the paper manual that comes with the camera.If this is your first experience with a d-slr, you aren't a stickler about having functions istantly available or you need a very good, lightweight backup d-slr because you don't want to carry your full-bodied model, stop searching through reviews and get yourself one of these! You WILL NOT be disappointed.Once you take the plunge, there's no looking back though! You will be scouring the internet for deals on lenses, filters and everything d-slr related! As my friend told me, it's like an infection or being in a cult - but not in a bad way; whatever that means! ;)I'm in love with this camera, but when she get's old i'm going after her big sister, who has more functions on her body!!Have fun with your new D5100!

I really enjoy this camera. It is a nice all around camera for my needs. I like the flexibility of the adjustable LCD, and having the option of the good quality video, although I don't use it much. I'm also someone who prefers using a viewfinder, and this has a fairly good quality one, although not quite as good as my D-80 had. It is just a tad smaller than my D-80, though and I like that. I'm still needing to practice with the menu, but think the options are plentiful and overall easy to use. A wonderful companion to this camera, for me, has been, "Nikon D5100; From Snapshots to Great Shots" by Rob Sylvan. It is like having a photography teacher at my side giving great advice and tips on this specific camera, as I am exploring it.

Originally - loved this camera. For the price, this was an amazing deal. I bought this camera used, and new they go for about $900. I got this for half price here, and was so excited to own this camera, however I never heard about the shutter issues. My daughter and I both have had the same problem, but she had a warranty on hers and was able to ship it back to be fixed.Image quality - amazing. Speed and response - phenomenal. Ease of use and ability to jump right in to this camera (using manual settings) delightfully easy.I LOVE LOVE LOVE this camera - in every way, except for one issue - that is widely known - Nikon D5100 are known for shutter problems, and mine experienced it after only about 2000 images. I am a amateur, attempting to turn pro and this hit me hard. This is a $250 fix, with no guarantee that it will not re-occur.All in all, Nikon makes a glorious product, and you won't be disappointed -- however, make sure that you buy new (so that you know the background of the body) and you have a full warranty that you keep up so that you are not left out in the cold or out $250.

I have had my Nikon D5100 for 3 years. I paid $1200 including extra lenses. My camera has broken (all pictures come out black/shutter issue) twice in the 3 years. I got an exchange for the first one, and now they are repairing the second one. It is costing me $160 because it's now out of warranty.If you want to pay $160 (when it invariably goes black again) to keep the camera working, then go ahead and buy one. If I had it to do all over again, I would buy a Cannon.Sorry, Nikon. You let me down.

Let me start by saying: I have no training whatsoever in photography. I purchased this camera solely to take pictures of my children. I was so tired of missing moments with my Nikon point and shoot. I debated between this camera and the Sony NEX5 for a long time. The size of the Sony was much more appealing, and I still question my decision because of that factor. I went with the Nikon because my husband has an older (very heavy) Nikon DSLR and he has several lenses that would be compatible with this camera. So far, I've only used the kit lens and I've been very happy with it. I also think that the viewfinder on this camera allows me to take better pictures than I could take with the Sony, which does not have a viewfinder. I have managed to capture some amazing pictures of my kids. I bought a small case so that the camera will fit in my diaper bag. The camera is very responsive and has some great settings for someone like me that has no background in photography. It was easy to pick up and use immediately out of the box.

This camera by far is an excellent choice for someone looking for a camera with a mix of ease of use for a novice and customization options for those that are more seasoned. I fall into the more of a novice category, but I like quality looking shots and prefer a quality product to obtain those shots. I have been purchasing Nikon SLR's for the past 8-10 years and I have never been disappointed. I love the movable display on the rear of the camera and thats one of the main reasons I chose this as opposed to the 3100 or 3200. The price for what you are getting is superb. I still have a Nikon D40 from 5 years ago that is functioning well so I am definitely sold on Nikon quality. When I look at my pictures they are crisp with vibrant colors. This camera feels good in the hand and will not disappoint you! Its a great deal, so buy them while they are in stock!

I needed a camera that would take good pictures for a book of my paintings. This camera worked out great. I knew little about how to use a dslr -most experience in 35mm slr. I purchased a book and learned how to use the many features..but mainly wanted to get the most true reproductions I could to represent my work in print. I ended up shooting most of them in the shade at about 10 in the morning and they turned out great. The live view really helped getting them right. I am sure there are better cameras out there and this one has been replaced but I'm hanging on to mine. All the photos in this book were taken with this camera.[...]

I have been a retired SLR photographer for several years so the D5100 is my re-entry into DSLR. Previously, I had an N90s and one of the first digital Nikons; the D20. I have been shooting a Canon G10 for several years even doing some HDR with it. I've had the D5100 about a week and have shot a 100 photos on a variety of subjects - family, landscape, sunset, and macro - all with the 18-55 kit lens.It shoots great! Detail is way better than I expected for a "consumer" model. Actually, I chose the D5100 because the quality of the pics was my foremost goal. It comes with the same 16mp chip as the D7000 for $400 less. I wanted to spend that money on glass. I've had almost no trouble figuring out how to set the manual controls and have had good luck with the SCENES modes for most shooting. (I haven't tried the EFFECTS and I'm not sure that I will - more of a Photoshop processing kind of guy). My biggest challenge has been getting correct focus as the camera tries to do way more than I'm used to and, if I have it in the wrong SCENE mode, there's no telling what might happen. The dancing yellow squares on the face recognition function is a little disconcerting. I have also had to learn patience as the VR function is nice but a little slow when handheld. I have learned to leave it off until I really need it.I think that most of the professional reviewers overstate the weaknesses of many of the products out there and the D5100 is no exception, maybe because it's hard to difference a crowded competitive product line. At any rate, here is my take on some of the deficiencies. First, the location of the LiveView button work great for me. Because it is a lever rather than a button it is easy to locate and use without moving my hand on the grip. Another complaint has been the lack of an ISO button. I do prefer buttons over menus but there are too many functions which I would like to have on a button that there wouldn't be room for all of them. I programmed the fn button (which is done easily in the menus) to allow me to control the ISO. It works well both when I'm working through the viewer or the display screen. I will agree with complaints that the fn button is too close to the flash button. I've inadvertently mixed them up and it cost me a pic or two. However, I only need to make that kind of mistake a couple of times before learn to avoid the problem.The rear screen is great...very high resolution. The zooming function works well and I have been able to check image focus easily. The side tilt is very elegant and I like that if flips to protect the screen when not in use.I'm not much of a videographer but I did shoot some video and the image quality if fantastic. I put it on my TV and the quality was great. The focus works pretty well although you can see it occasionally get behind for a few seconds for quick moving subjects - like cars and kids. The microphone isn't worth much so it may be worth investing in the add-on microphone for more serious video projects.All in all, the quality and fit of the camera is very good in spite of being made from plastic. i wouldn't want to drop it or the lens for that matter - they are not made like my old N90s or my 70-200 f2.8 but, on the other hand, I won't won't miss the extra 5 lbs. of weight because this camera is LIGHT! It is small but fits the hand well and is joy to carry around.To summarize: As you would expect from a Nikon, great photos; as good as the D7000 (according to dpreview) and $400 less. Easy to use, light, good manual control, and good assisted control through scenes. The D5100 is a good choice if you are looking for high quality images without all the bells and whistles of the D7000.No "cons" except don't drop it...probably won't survive! Battery life isn't great either (I tend to use the display and LiveView a lot) so I've already invested in a backup battery.

Let me first say that this is my first DSLR. I take about 10,000 pictures a year and I figured it's time for me to upgrade to a decent SLR.I always cringed at SLRs since I never want the burden of carrying it around. I figured that a camera wouldn't do me any good if didn't want to take it anywhere. That being said, although I still use a very nice point-and-shoot for many quick trips with my kids, for birthday parties and other big events, I want the crispest, most colorful, pictures I can take. Here's why I love this camera:-PICTURES-Since it uses the same sensor as the Nikon D7000, which costs significantly more, the pictures are incredible for its class. You literally cannot buy a camera that takes better pictures at this price point. Compared with the Canon T3i, which is a direct competitor, I believe these pictures are better indoors and in low light. Also, a quick tip: for most pics, JPEG basic setting (~400kb) is fine for 4x6 and JPEG normal setting (~1mb) is fine for 8x10.-VIDEO-I don't use this for video often but it captures HD video. I prefer to use an HD camcorder for video but from time to time when I only have this, I'll take a few short vids and they look great.-SIZE/FORM-The Nikon D5100's body is slightly smaller than the Canon T3i's. Although my hands are on the larger side, I prefer the smaller body and it fits well. I use Opteka Professional Wrist Grip Strap for Digital & Film SLR Cameras with the camera and it feels like it's an extension of my hand. A side note: If you choose that hand strap, you'll need to cut a notch off the bottom to allow you to swing the screen out (I have a review there that details how I got that hand strap to work for me).-SPECIAL FEATURES (HARDWARE)-A 3" swing out screen! That's what initially led me to choose the D5100 over the D3100. This is great to capture different angles and ideal for self-shots that I take with my kids. As a bonus, you can also "close" the screen to protect it if you're going to use the viewfinder. Of course, now that I have this model, I'm thrilled that I have better pictures.-SPECIAL FEATURES (SOFTWARE)-Lots of special effects on here! My kids love the Selective Color (B&W pic with a color highlight) and Color Sketch (cartoonish look) options. Personally, I use High Key a lot for dark situations when I don't want to use the flash. After the shot, I also occasionally crop the pics right on the camera.-USER-FRIENDLINESS-I consider myself slightly more knowledgeable than a beginner but I can even set it up for my wife to use. Simply use as many or as few of the features as you need. If you're ready to learn, the Nikon D5100 is an amazing, somewhat intuitive tool.-RECOMMENDATION-If you can afford it, the Nikon D5100 is a great high-end starter camera. You will grow into it and for the majority of us (non-pros), this will be more than adequate for our needs for the long term so you won't need to upgrade to another SLR. My only regret is that I didn't have this when each of my kids were born!
