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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just super, it's beautifully made, I'm very happy with it.

I've only just started using it, but I can already appreciate its benefits, and you can and should work to overcome the drawbacks of the auto mode. After all, that's why it's a DSLR: so that it can only fully unfold its potential when held by someone with sufficient skill, which is something I intend to acquire. As I've mentioned in the previous discussions, the benefits are as follows: 1. matrix taken with a "semi-professional" Nikon D7000: the light sensitivity is simply excellent; at an ISO of 800, the picture is almost perfect; at an ISO of 3200 (!) it starts to make noise, but it can still be corrected by Photoshop. For some reason, he enjoys bullying the ISO on a car, so I artificially limited them to 800 units to prevent him from doing so. I thought the quality of the conversion from NEF (Nikon RAW) to JPG was excellent: when I saved a photo in both formats with the JPG setting set to "Fine," I could not tell the difference between them even when using a magnifying glass! As a result, I've resolved to use NEFs exclusively for photographs that are of the utmost importance to me or that were taken under extremely challenging lighting conditions, such as when you need to stretch half-black and white photographs. By the way, when converting a photograph from NEF to JPG in the D90, which is so highly regarded by many people, the faces become unnaturally yellow, and in order to smooth out the existing "friability" of the raw NEF (in the D5100, they seemed smoother to me), you have to sacrifice detail! These features are not available on the D5100, which is both satisfying and invigorating! 2. The HDR mode has been competently implemented; when transitioning between areas of high contrast, the picture appears "as the eyes see" and does not have any dominant levels. It is true that even if the object is moving, it is still possible to capture it using a "phantom." Additionally, there are times when the "light" option, also known as active D-lighting, is an excellent choice. 3. a rotary screen that folds up (photo below, above, front .) 4. A built-in light source! I compared it to its primary rival, Canon, and found that it did not perform better than the latter in the following categories: the background illuminates evenly throughout the frame, even if it is removed (within reasonable limits, of course), the subject does not overexpose, and there is almost no glare! 5. The ability to customize: the normal JPG quality was immediately removed: The word "fine" is much more accurate; everything is regulated, but it is necessary to comprehend and investigate it. The first photographs of whale 18-55 are as follows: You can view the photo album at http://fotki.ru/users/youri3fr/album/142815/?p=0.

Pros
  • - Photosensitive matrix beginning with the D7000 - Photo quality - Flash - Price quality - HDR and D-Lighting capabilities - Many more; there are far too many to list here.
Cons
  • - Automatic settings, governing bodies, and there is no "masterpiece" button ;)
