Decent camera for the $$

byalanbweaver Apr 25, 2007
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fairly easy to use, LONG telephoto
Cons LONG telephoto can cause a bit of blurriness
Recommended it? Yes

The camera is reasonably priced. Image quality is good, the battery is durable (long life) and the zoom is good. It does lack image stabilization.

Its best feature is the 10X lens. This also is its detriment as the camera has no image stabilization which can result with blurry pictures in... Read full review »

HAVE GROWN TO LOVE THIS CAMERA

byhgxstitch Sep 21, 2007
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?

Nikon D5100 SLR digital camera 16 MP: A great SLR camera for the money

byyakkowarner Aug 29, 2011
61 Helpfuls 62 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Interchangeable lens, easy to use, lots of features, takes movies and photos, works ...
Cons Price, only 16 mega-pixels, no internal motor, only one control wheel instead of 2.
Recommended it? Yes

This is a 16 mega pixel SLR camera. You have the option to change lens, customize many setting, and you get higher quality pictures as an end product. It is also a faster camera than most point and shoot’s available. I do not have the lag between pressing the picture button and the camera... Read full review »

Best bang for the buck in APS-C DSLR cameras

byaloofyouth Dec 19, 2011
23 Helpfuls 24 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Best bang for the buck DSLR camera in its price/size bracket
Cons Flash lacks commander mode capability
Recommended it? Yes

My user experiences are marked in italics.

The Nikon D5100 is a DSLR camera ("digital single lens reflex" so what you see through the optical viewfinder or on the LCD screen is what you get in the photo; you are literally seeing through the lens, so there is no parallax error). I bought it... Read full review »
