Nikon D5100 Review

The Nikon D5100 takes solid photos and videos, offering the response shutterbugs demand as they move from point-and-shoots to "real" cameras.

Quality 16-megapixel images; 3-inch vari-angle LCD (921K pixels; ISO range of 100 to 25,600

Kit lens is just a starting point; Awkward control system; Video good not great

Quality images with good balance of detail and noise; Articulated screen with 3in / 920k panel; HD video at multiple fps with mic input and continuous AF; Fun EFFECTS mode; some of which can be applied to video

Continuous movie AF can be visibly and audibly distracting; UI slow for experienced owners; No Live Histogram in Live View; No motor to autofocus older (non AF-S) lenses

No dedicated ISO button; Requires AF-S lens with built-in AF motor; Live View and video AF aren't lightning-fast; Special Effects parameters must be set in Live View
