Review on Nikon D5100 Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm VR Lens - High Resolution 16.2MP by Aashit Akkineni ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for money, one of the best offers.

Nikon D5100 is my first digital SLR, which I have been choosing among Nikon cameras for a long time. The goal was to purchase a budget SLR camera with low weight and size, without unnecessary bells and whistles, which allows you to take high-quality photos. All Nikon devices meet the last requirement, the rest of the parameters are a matter of taste and finances. At first, I wanted to take the Nikon D3100, then the D3200, but I read a lot of comparative English-language reviews (the D3200 is already on sale there), watched a lot of videos and without hesitation took the Nikon D5100 body and the Nikon 50mm f / 1.8G AF-S fixed lens to it ( as they write about it must have). Over time, I think to buy a Nikon 18-200 VR lens for all occasions. The quality of the photo is excellent, I did not try the video, because. there is a video camera. Nikon D5100 is what I was looking for, happy as an elephant.

Pros
  • Excellent thoughtful ergonomics. I especially like the swivel screen, which can be closed when shooting through the viewfinder, which protects it from scratches. Intuitive menu. Fast readiness for work at inclusion. The battery lasts for a day.
Cons
  • There is no provision for attaching the lens cap to the camera or lens body (a small detail that you can fix yourself).
