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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A great option for this money, one of the best offers.

Pretty good camera. As a beginner, I use it with the kit lens that was included. In principle, with properly selected modes, the result is pleasing. Few buttons for settings. Programmable - only one. At night, I try to shoot only from a tripod, but even with hands at high ISOs, good shots are obtained (a small amount of noise is easily removed on a computer). The absence of a "screwdriver" mechanism will make you spend money when buying lenses (if you want autofocus), but here the claim is against Nikon's policy, and not specifically for this model. Through the adapter I sometimes put the Soviet lens Helios-44M. Portraits on it are good. But the camera works in this case only in M ​​mode (it's okay, I didn't take a DSLR for "Auto"). I'm not overjoyed!

Pros
  • -the weight - dimensions -functional - swivel screen
Cons
  • -few control buttons -lack of an additional screen (in conditions where there is little battery left - it would be very useful) - no screwdriver
