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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Quality of the product is at the level, I will recommend this product

In short, for myself, I defined this device as ideal for most of my needs (street shooting, portrait, kids), although it feels a bit tight in functionality and ergonomics. In particular, the lack of an LCD screen on top is a little annoying, because. I don’t like to stare into the monitor, and the viewfinder, I must admit, is informatively poor. At first, the presence of only one button for quick access to the settings was also annoying, but over time, it came to the conclusion that this camera can always shoot in RAW (thanks to the developers for the in-camera software) and scored on some settings (on BB in particular), and also having come to the only right decision to hang the ISO setting on the function button f, I realized that I had found the formula of happiness :). In general, this device is very successful both in terms of ergonomics and in terms of value for money - 23,000 for a bodysuit with 18-105 glass - I consider it the best price and the best starter kit, but after buying it IS MANDATORY and immediately start saving money to buy a telephoto or even the af-s vr 18-200 travel zoom is perhaps the best solution for this device. Outcome. If you are not a person who professionally takes money at wedding receptions (I think there are definitely none here), and you are also not a member of a sect of photo maniacs who fit for various organoleptic indicators (and there are usually a lot of them everywhere to create a stink), but sincerely love the process of framing reality and If you want to convey your unique worldview to your family and friends and the entire Internet community, as well as to yourself, in the first place, then this device will bring you a lot of joy and pleasure and not a bit of regret. I wrote off one point solely for the cunning marketing policy and protected instructions. And some amateur photos.. http://fotki. Yandex. Ru/users/tantacid/view/735534/?page=0 Not all are made on the D5100, but clearly - from one hand to different cameras

Pros
  • EXCELLENT MATRIX, low noise at very high ISOs (usually they also insert the word "even") - 3200 is quite working for itself (the d90 matrix is ​​​​quietly moaning and noisy lying on the sidelines). A TURNING SCREEN, no matter what photosnobs say, is the most excellent thing, especially when you have a bunch of undersized living creatures at home - children, pets, and even more so when this living creature runs and frolics outside the walls of the cage. I am always for new opportunities. And I often just close the screen and use only the information in the viewfinder. Then your nose can safely rest against the plastic cover of the monitor. EASE OF OPERATION (I feel like photo snobs began to make contemptuous wrinkles on their foreheads) - after my "presumer", the control of this camera seemed just a childish prank with incomparable shooting results. IN-Chamber RAW PROCESSING. And excellent processing! This is the whole thing. Tufu on you, you understand who. Now I can really shoot ALWAYS in RAW and not dump everything into the computer. I translate the photos for the album immediately in the camera in JPG to the desired form, thanks to the excellent resolution of the screen and what the hell from the camera, otherwise I save the negative to the collection. Now the trash began to flow into the computer by an order of magnitude! less. OTHER FEATURES - correction of distortions, alignment, cropping - in general, the set is standard, but only with this camera I really began to use it and found it convenient and practical.
Cons
  • THE LACK OF A "SCREWDRIVER", perhaps the main drawback, which is essentially a hidden premium to the cost of the device, because sooner or later you will definitely want to buy a telephoto, and then, inevitably, a fixed fifty dollars. Then you will know the power of Nikon marketers (unlike Canon, who supply all their cameras with "screwdrivers", but they have their own "cockroaches"). And when you are going to buy a second battery, you will simply hate them, because a 5100 will not work on a real Chinese battery for 20 bucks .. CROP INSTRUCTIONS. Approximately 1.5 from the full manual, which is on the PDF disk. This is probably due to the concern for the forest, which also explains why the PDF file with the "detailed manual" comes with print protection, which in my deep opinion is just disgusting. Not that it would be so critical, but you know, I like to look through the instructions at my leisure, in a small and bright room.

In general, a good device, with more experience in shooting than an amateur (rather an advanced amateur). focusing upset, even fast lenses do not save - it lathers a lot. he refused auto mode right away - he lies a lot and can focus for 1.5-2 seconds. In short, you need to adapt and at least basic knowledge.
