Отзывы о Цифровой Фотоаппарат Nikon D5100

Having my 4 year old Canon XSi and lenses stolen, I was faced with a dilemma in picking a replacement. I've always used Canon equipment since my high school days MANY moons ago, starting with the Canon A1. I read through the reviews of the latest Canon Rebel T3i and the Nikon D5100. With a tight budget, and wanting to check "the other side", I decided on a refurbished D5100 package with the 18-55 and 55-200mm Nikkor lens kit.The other reviews here go into a great deal of detail, so I won't repeat. They are mostly accurate. As a Canon owner and devotee, my short summary is this:1. The Canon T3i is built a bit better a bit less flimsy and feels more "Pro", but the Nikon D5100 is lighter and a little easier to carry around. The Nikon Quality is good, but a little more "Consumer" feeling.2. There is no extended grip/battery attachment from Nikon. Some third party grips are available, but they require an external cable to link the grip to the camera, in order to use the optional release button on the grip. Not a show stopper, but a bit annoying if you want to put a more "Pro" package together.3. As many of the reviews point out, their is no dedicated ISO selector, you have to go into the menus. However, you can assign ISO functions to a customizable function button on the front of the camera near the left grip. I did not find this to be a big deal.4. I found the menus and options, along with the large bright LCD display to be very user friendly. There is built in help for just about every option, and the graphic display is informative and helpful.5. The end result, the photos, I found to be extremely nice. It is subjective, but I feel the resulting images are a tick above the Canon, especially at low ISO settings. I have a Schnauzer with a very dark coat, and had a terrible time getting good shots of her indoors with the Canon. The Nikon gave me great photos of her out of the box in full auto mode. I was impressed.Conclusion:I really like the Nikon, and believe that for the average hobbyist photographer it will take great photos. I personally like the resulting images a little better then those of my Canon, and I found the camera a little easier to use out of the box. I like the fact that it is lighter and more compact then the Canon. On the other hand, the Canon is built a bit better, has easier access to more advanced settings, and is a little more professional when expanding with an battery/grip and remote flash control. The Nikon can be had for $100 to $250 less for an equivalent package to the Canon T3i. I would say for your average hobbyist/non-Pro user the Nikon is an overall great value and will get you better photos with less effort. The Canon is no slouch, but is aimed at a user that wants to tweak things more on a more regular basis and for those that may require a slightly more durable piece of hardware.

is my first camera with so many features and quality I think the truth is far superior to its competition although some differ from this truth I am very happy with the results

This really proved to be a great choice, over Canon. It's everything I expected it to be. So many functions. I'm getting a lot of use out of it. Recommend to everyone.

First off, I'd say that you need to try out a real camera with your actual phenomenological self before making any decisions on purchasing one. Terms like sturdier, lighter, heaver, more solid, easier to use, more comfortable, etc., have NO meaning generically. If you wouldn't buy a $75 pair of shoes without trying them on, why on earth would you buy a camera that way? With that in mind, for me the D5100 is perfect. I handled the D7000 and the D5100, and I felt a lot surer with the D5100. Maybe it has to do with my wrists or fingers or whatever, but in the end, it doesn't matter. And when I bought a $30 sleeve that 'gloves' the entire apparatus, psychologically at least, I made up for any 'heft' a heavier camera might offer. Prior to my purchasing this camera, I had a heavier, "sturdier" Nikon model, and walking around with it for five hours did not make praise its virtues. More like it tempted me to throw it off a bridge. There's some talk of the puny number of focal points on this camera. I think there quite enough. I've done theatrical photography with this camera, and you can imagine focusing is a delicate matter in low light, multiple points of focus imagery, and I had no problem. Which brings me to the 'pro' vs 'consumer' issue. As far as I'm concerned, there's just one major difference between the needs of a 'professional' photographer and an 'am-pro-sum-teur' or whatever dumb appellation people come up with: and that's durability under a wide range of conditions. If photography is your bread and butter, and your shooting 1,000 frames a day -- covering SWAT team assaults or civil wars or photographing mountain goats in the Himalayas on a regular basis, I'd say you need a D800, or even slum it with a D7000. But otherwise, if you could use the (minimally) $500 you save with the D5100 to take a trip to your favorite secluded island, get it. You might end up with shots you'd never have a chance on taking since you'd never get there geographically in the first place.If your the Benjamin Franklin type, and need to list the pros and cons of everything prior to making a decision, my way of thinking might not work for you. But then again Benjamin Franklin wasn't known for his aesthetic genius; it was for his engineering and diplomatic skills.Last, consider this: on the off chance you LOSE or get your $1,500 to $3,000 camera and all its gear STOLEN, you could be F_____d. You lose a D5100, just go out and buy another one. I've exhibited my work in galleries, done photojournalism, travel journalism, art nudes, etc., and the captions have never read "Taken with a XYZD camera."

Delivered as promised and, while packaged funny,seemed to be what was advertised. I've used it a couple of times and it has performed as expected. It's a gamble you take any time you purchase gear that doesn't come right out of the Nikon box.

Thanks to a bad crash against pavement in the church parking lot last summer, the casing on my D3100 cracked just above the circular button used to adjust the manual settings (I am a newbie at photography and can't recall the name of that part of the camera). Since I am a storm chaser and love to photograph lightning, I have to be able to use the manual functions. I debated as to whether to get another 3100 or a 7000 series. I thought the former would soon be obsolete, and the latter was beyond what I can afford at the moment, given I just bought a $1000 lens and am still not sure if photography is my thing. So I opted for the 5100.When i bought my 3100, the 5100 was also on the market and I read mixed reviews. I cannot really appreciate any bonuses this camera has over the 3100. Actually, I am trying to imagine how the 5100's image display is going to work out on the Plains. I am not sure I like the fact that it sticks out, away from the body of the camera, and that so many of the camera's functions are located there. I am afraid if I leave it on the tripod (which you must do for lightning shots), it will be more susceptible to gusts of wind and breakage.On the other hand, it has a few cool features buried in its "effects" that the 3100 did not have. Overall though, i am not convinced it's a better deal.

Camera is in great condition, just needs a little TLC had some oils on it. But it works perfect. Thanks

This is a very nice camera. It has the Nikon name on it. I would expect nothing less! I would recommend this camera to my friends.

I got this camera, after having a Panasonic fz 150. That was a good camera, but I wanted to get one where I could change the lenses. This good for me and I love it. I have gotten some good photos with this camera and I have shoot some videos with it as well. If you want to make short films with this, you can. Go ahead and buy it.

Great camera. Ive had Nikons in the past and have never been dissappointed. The two lense combination is perfect for a wide range of photography.

This must be the best value camera, constantly providing exceptional pictures in all types of situations. If you are looking for a great camera at a great price, look no further.www,ukphotobooth.co.uk

I've felt it many times. The frustration you feel when you mess around with all the settings on manual, take a picture hoping it will look mind-blowing and it ends up looking like it was taken with a crappy phone. A DSLR is not a point-and-shoot.You need to learn how to use it. Once you start getting the hang of it, your pictures will start looking better, leaving even the best camera phones far behind.Also, automatic mode works wonders in a LOT of situations. Don't feel pressured to use manual settings every time. You can still get great pictures with auto mode!Take lots of pictures, take if everywhere and you'll love it!This was also my first camera, I'm still learning how to use it, but I'm loving every second of the process!Note: I use a Tamron 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 lens.

I love this camera and am still learning all it's features. The pictures are amazing, so glad I purchased it.

I am a first time buyer from Amazon and had a-lot of reservations buying a "used" camera from anyone, especially someone I could not get my hands on. To my delight the camera arrived in the original box with everything perfect. I'm having problems putting it down, it was everything I expected and more.Thank-you Amazon!!!Jim Higgins

0 stars. I had this camera out of the box for all of 10 minutes and it malfunctioned. I went through the set up like the manual stated, took one picture and the second picture came out completely black with a tiny white squiggle, third and forth pictures were completely black as well, even with different settings. Why does Amazon continue to sell these if it is a recurring problem? I returned and bought a D5200, even though that model appears to have focus issues. Will review when I receive it.I suppose the one star out of five can go towards the Amazon box my camera came in, my cats are having a super fun time playing in it.

Nikon D5100 review:My humble opinion is that Nikon has really outdone itself with this camera.All the rave reviews and Ad statements are true.Like a few others, I bought this camera because I sometimes find lugging My D300s and associated equipment cumbersome and somewhat overkill for what I am going to shoot. I was going on a short trip and wanted to bring my camera along and do some fun shooting. I started packing my stuff and realized it would really be a chore carrying this stuff (the temperature was 111 degrees and not going to be getting any cooler for a while). So I decided just to leave it home. The day I got home I ordered the D5100. I had been looking at this camera as a solution and had actually recommended it to a friend who is new to DSLR Photography and got to help her set her camera up. So my interest was really peaked. Anyways, I bought it and I am happy and amazed.I Like:Its light weight and easy to pack and carry.Image quality and sharpness is outstanding.Movie clips easy.The Special effects are really fun.The shutter is really quiet.The pop up flash is not a power monger like on my old D60 so you can actually use it.Also the pop up flash can be put into manual mode (over the default TTL mode) and you can set the power level. In this mode I use the pop up to trip remote/Slave flash units. NB: by the way this option is not covered in the manual.Some not really cons:I'm used to being able quickly change shooting parameters on my D300s with the options on the camera body. On the D5100 you have to go into the menu structure or hit the info button and scroll through and change the parameters on the screen. I'm getting used to it (So, not really bad).I do like to shoot in manual mode and only having a single command dial which changes the shutter speed and having to hold down the exposure compensation button to change the aperture is a little annoying. Have to learn to live with it.Oh and:Using the selective color... you cannot pop the pop up flash. However, if you want (after you have set up your selection and are ready to shoot) you can mount an external flash like the SB400 and the flash will work fine. I used this process to also trigger a remote flash while using the selective color effect.ThanksThat's all folks :)

i am not a photography expert, but i loveee this camera. Bought as gift for myself, this baby shoots some awesome photos. I have used it on most of my trips to Canyon, Vegas, Disneyworld, Puerto Rico etc. I always get pictures with good color and saturation. Also low light photos come up pretty good without flash (which is awesome!!!). I would say instead of buying D3100 or D3200 go for this camera, its well worth the extra monies. And the camera is not heavy though it looks bulky

The last thing I needed was another Nikon DSLR but when I saw the specs and the giveaway price I persuaded myself it was just a back-up\ body I was buying to supplement my clutch of pro-bodies, a somewhat ancient D2x and a D2h, that have been weighing me down for the past 5 years or so. Out of the box, and with the almost fully charged battery inserted, I could not believehow little it weighed, and how small it was compared to my old clunkers. I think if you had particularly large hands you may find it a little too small, but I found the fit quite perfect. I tried my everyday Nikkor 17-55mm on the body and it felt very unbalanced with this heavy metalled lens attached. I then put on a Series 1 18-200mm VR Nikkor and it felt much better. In fact I have not removed it over several weeks of solid use, now over 9,000 shutter actuations! And being a Nikon, it hasn't missed a beat -yet!I shoot mainly weddings and other event stuff as well as all the usual friends and family pics that we all do. From the start I found the resolution and image quality quite outstanding particularly when I needed to crank it up to ISO3200 for some shots near dusk.I have to say it just blows away the results I used to get from the D2x in those same or similar lighting conditions. The new generation 16MP sensor is now a generation or two ahead of the 12.2MP sensor aboard the D2x, and boy doesn't it show?For a camera aimed squarely at the lower end of the "enthusiast" sector this offering from Nikon has made me wonder if professional photographers will continue to cough up for the D300s, the D700 and the base model D3. OK the latter two are full frame not DX and I can see the need for these expensive models in certain applications but heck, I can buy 2 D5100 bodies forthe price of a D300s and win on almost every count that I consider is of importance to my work. Higher resolution, better image quality video autofocus and continuous video focus, lower noise at high ISO, Built-in HDR, a lot more dynamic range, significantly better colour depth, flip-out screen, 6400 ISO and better boost to 25,600. It's smaller , lighter and half the price. OK no built in motor for non AF-S lenses, and the 300s scores on speed, battery life and a few other areas over the D5100, which even scoresheavily in an out of league comparison with the mighty D3s!It is well made from high quality plastic, which would probably put off many enthusiasts and pro-users - but I have already put it through the high impact drop test - inadvertently, of course! I dropped it and the 18-200mm zoom on a stone floor from about 1.5meters. The only damage was a broken card door which I can replace for under a fiver in the US. No other damage apart from a slight dent in the lens hood.I haven't shot much video yet but what I have seen so far is of the highest quality imaginable when run at 1080 and 30fps - quite stunning footage I must say. I suppose I miss the easy screen and button based logic of the D2x and there is a certain clumsiness involved with the menu embedded functionality of the D5100 - but when in doubt , or short of time just head for the Auto setting or any one of the prescribed modes on the dial to suit your needs.As you may have guessed, the D5100 is not my back-up at all. I use it all the time now with the D2x just sitting in my bag. Problem is it is so heavy to lug around so I think I will sell it on Ebay, for about the same price as a new D5100 - and send off to Amazon for another one of these little gems!

Simply love it. I consider this camera my favorite asset. I didn't pay as much and it works quite professionally.I recommend it to anyone who is starting in this photography world.

the camera is in good condition and new. Usedthe lens looks and I feel cheated withaccessories are not original. and not broughtManual

I really like it. I have enjoyed playing with it as well as taking serious pictures with it. I have also taken pictures outside in different kinds of weather. It has worked really well. I like having the view finder as well as the led screen. I have enjoyed taking pictures with it.

This is my first DSLR and I came to find it by way of Ken Rockwell's photography site. I don't know a lot about photography but this feels like a great camera to me. It has lots of settings I don't use but also some key ones that I really enjoy. It feels and acts like a professional camera without the super high price tag. If you're like me and want a great DSLR but don't want to spend a ton of money on something that isn't your career - this comes recommended by me.

Before purchasing this camera I had a canon rebel and I like this much more. Great Quality, lots of neat settings, interval timer is pretty cool.

Have both and I am pleased with both! With the price drop to 429 on the 5100 I could not resist a second camera ! I also got the 35mm and 55 - 200mm lens .......... Best pictures that I have ever taken.These are both great DSLR camera to start out with. I will get to Manual soon, and learn even more. That's the great thing about these cameras, it can ease you into the hobby and make you feel like a professional in a short amount of time .
