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

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Quite good, but I expected more from it.

Good afternoon, I bought the D5100 a couple of months ago in Amazon. There was a need to change the lens, I decided to try Nikkor 18-105 kit. And that's the problem, from the viewfinder of the camera, when zooming, THE WIND BLOWS DIRECTLY IN THE EYE ! I can't believe this is a design feature. When contacting the repair center DS, which was in Hong Kong, they told me to hand over the camera, we will send it to Hong Kong and return it in 2 ! month. I was in the same Amazon Hong Kong store, they said we can’t change it, we’ll give it a guarantee (we’ll give out a replacement SOAP dish), which it’s not possible to do (I bought it specifically for a trip to Prague). I tried to put this lens on other D5100 carcasses and found that out of 3 the same problem is in 2 ! I tried to contact the consumer protection committee, unfortunately I didn’t manage to get an appointment (queue), I will try again. Is it possible to get any clarification from the off representative about the design of your new product ? Thanks in advance

Pros
  • Ergonomic, functional.
Cons
  • Read carefully the appeal to the official representative in Hong Kong. And check the equipment in the store.
