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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

What can I say? This is my very first single-lens reflex camera; in the past, I've only owned soap dishes and professional film. There are a few things that should be improved, but other than that, everything about it is enjoyable. While I was writing the whale horror lens, it should be noted that this is not a secret (for me it was decisive that I overpaid only a thousand for it). Even though my hands do not appear to be a shovel, my little finger slips off the carcass. When set to an ISO higher than 1600, it produces noise, and not in a faint way; yet, even though this is not the most common iso setting, it causes agitation when used with inexpensive TVs, which is something I sometimes do. I enjoy the electronic filling, for example: what it says on the display in the viewfinder is an illuminated or vice versa dark picture, however you need to believe it, adjusted for 2-4 divisions in the minus. In addition, if you choose manual focus, the camera will instruct you on how to achieve a more precise focus. (This is not always required, but can be helpful in some situations) If this is it for good, then I'm really struggling to find issue with gibberish after almost four months of use, and when I first started using it, you should have seen my 9x12 smile that did not disappear off my face:D:). If someone were to ask me if I would purchase it again, I would unequivocally respond in the affirmative; however, I would add the following proviso to my response: "it would be more money, and it would probably be better to buy a d7000," but seeing as how I wasn't given the opportunity to be born the son of a billionaire and I still haven't achieved that goal, I believe that purchasing this camera is the best option for me. IMHO: Take the Body version of the camera and pair it with a 35mm or 50mm prime lens that has an aperture of f/1.2 to f/1.4, and you will immediately see what this animal is capable of. P.S. You should consider this camera the first or second step on the lengthy path from amateur to professional photographer.

Pros
  • 1. a screen that rotates 2. The capacity to record video in Full HD resolution (Although if I confess, I shot only 1 time for the test) 3. Colors that look good
Cons
  • 1. We would like to have more than 11 AF points available to us. 2. A whale lens may be dragged to the garbage or removed from the whale entirely without risk. 3. The AF illuminator is obscured by the large lenses. 4. Total 1 programmable button 5. A shutter speed of at least 1/4000 seconds; an f/1.4 lens with a focal length of 50 millimeters will not suffice on a day with bright sunshine.
