Very good photo quality, with impressive high ISO performance, Compact, solid, and generally well designed body, 3inch LCD with 921k pixels can flip to the side and rotate, Plenty of manual controls, with RAW image format support (of course), Snappy performance in most areas, with good continuous shooting mode, Full HD movie mode with continuous autofocus, Active DLighting reduces highlight clipp
Photos tend to be soft, Slow focusing in live view mode; poor low light focusing (with LV), Movie mode woes: sluggish and noisy continuous AF, no manual controls, Some controls poorly located, namely the live view switch and movie recording button; camera could use more direct buttons, Autofocus only available with AFS and AFI lenses, Wireless flash control would've been nice, Full manual on CDRO
The Nikon D5100 is a very nice "premium" entry-level D-SLR, and offers some genuinely useful new features compared to its predecessor (the D5000). Some of the highlights are very good photo quality (with low noise until the very highest sensitivities)...

Like: Image quality is excellent. The kit lens, though looking and feeling as though it has been made down to a price, is nevertheless quick to focus and produces sharp, high resolution images. The camera sits well in the hand and is responsive. Auto expo
Dislike: The pennypinching omission of an autofocus drive from the camera body limits the range of lenses that can be used in AF mode. This has been an annoying characteristic of entry level Nikons in the past. Sony, Pentax and Canon don't skimp in this w
Price: $1000 for bodyFoundation of a great systemThe low-down: This 16.2 megapixel camera uses the same sensor as the more expensive D7000. The kit includes a Nikkor 18–...

Abstract: A step-up camera that offers something for everyoneWhat's Hot: Near-Excellent stills and great full-HD video. What's Not: Too many controls lost in the menus. Who It's For: Those looking to step up to a serious shooter's DSLR, at a less serious price.Niko...
Excellente gestion du bruit électronique jusqu'à 3200 ISO, Bonne réactivité générale (mise sous tension, enregistrement. ), Construction soignée et écran monté sur rotule, Mode vidéo HDTV 1080 p, Quelques filtres créatifs rigolos
Autofocus en mode visée directe ou vidéo encore trop lent, Balance automatique peu efficace sous un éclairage tungstène, Ergonomie et menus perfectibles, Pas de son stéréo en mode vidéo et autofocus trop hésitant, Pas de gestion de flashes distants sans f
Le Nikon D5100 a tout pour séduire : une bonne qualité d'image, un écran monté sur rotule, une bonne réactivité, un mode vidéo HDTV 1080...Toutefois l'ergonomie et les menus trop complexes pour un positionnement grand public le prive d'une 5e étoile....
Excellent photo quality with a good noise profile, a streamlined shooting design for both photo and video, and a broad, practical feature set contribute to the Nikon D5100's strengths
While it's fast, some aspects of the D5100's performance still lag behind its class
The Nikon D5100 will undoubtedly put a smile on every photographer's face with its excellent image quality and feature set....
Как я уже отмечал ранее, Nikon D5100 занимает промежуточное положение между зеркалкой для начинающих D3100 и полупрофессиональной моделью D7000. Новинка ориентирована на фотографов с амбициями и предлагает широкие возможности для реализации всевозможных т...
Meget god bildekvalitet, svært brukervennlig med omfattende hjelpefunksjon, godt med funksjoner og innstillingsmuligheter, relativt god fokushastighet ved bruk av live view, meget god batterilevetid ...
Det meste styres via skjermen – få innganger til å endre på innstillinger ...
Noen vil savne flere knapper og innfallsvinkler til å endre på innstillingene, men bortsett fra det presterer Nikon D5100 såpass godt jevnt over at det så vidt kaprer "best i test"-utmerkelsen denne gangen.Bildekvaliteten er meget god i de fleste situ...
Hi-resolution articulated monitor, Easy to use, Much improved live view AF
Special Effects a bit limited, No wireless flash control/DoF preview
As with most DSLRs fitted with a built-in microphone, lens noise can be a bit of an issue while recording movies with the camera picking up the internal whirring of the autofocus system – especially when filming in a quiet location. If you really want to...
The Nikon D5100 offers much more than its predecessor, improving upon it in every which way. The body is smaller, lighter and easier to grip. The LCD has been enlarged, has a finer resolution image and now swivels from the side instead of the bottom. I...
