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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

An ideal product for any type of consumer.

I have been using this model for about 2 months. Long read, watched, chose. I also thought of 7000, but the first thing that repelled me was the price, the second - the swivel screen is still convenient, because. taking a photo, for example, with a raised hand is not a problem. I also considered the 3100, but the characteristics of the 5100 bribed me, plus, again, the swivel screen :) Standard kit lens 18-55VR or 18-105VR. Of course, it’s enough for a start, but personally I’m starting to understand that this is no longer enough :) A very good NOT PROFESSIONAL camera, I didn’t regret that I bought this particular model!

Pros
  • - The quality of JPEG photos is very good. - Variety of lenses. - Matrix from D7000. - Convenient menu. Got it right the first time. - Takes decent video. Viewing on 40" plasma is pleasing to the eye. - Variety of shooting modes. - Rotary display. - Display quality. - Adjust the viewfinder diopter (though not large).
Cons
  • - When shooting a video, or just when using Life View, the battery is "eaten up" at a time, but this is more likely a lack of battery capacity, and not of the camera as a whole :) And yes, the camera is for taking pictures, not shooting video, but still convenient when everything is at hand. - It's still a battery. By including Life View in the camera, the battery could have been supplied with a larger capacity. Although just for the photo is enough for the eyes. - When shooting Full HD video at 30 fps in NTSC mode only. In PAL mode 25 frames per second.
