I'm a first time purchaser of an SLR camera. Purchased it to take pictures of my kids' sports activities. The camera is fantastic!

Easy To Use; Fast / Accurate Auto-Focus; Good Image Quality

Great camera for the money, exceptional image quality. The flippy lcd is great for shots at awkward angles and for getting pinpoint focus with macros. Very wide dynamic range and great hi ISO perfomance.The liveview implementation is lacking especially if you try and shoot manually, the focus...

Great Features; Great Picture Quality; Lightweight; Simple Controls

Focus Point Selector; Inadequate Features

Whilst this camera does everything it says on the tin there are certain aspects that one would expect to be better from a product bearing the name Nikon. Other than having a greater pixel count and Live View it seems to perform little better than my Pentax K10 from which I have updated.

Film SLR owner who hasn't gone digital; The D5100 has some nice aspects that'll make you very happy, but if you've got a lot of older lenses, you won't be happy; The manual focus ones won't meter and the old autofocus lenses won't focus.

"Best Priced Deal In India-It was a pleasure shopping with Shopclues. It was my first buy from the site and it was a very good experience. Great price, easy payment options and delivery within 4 days of ordering ! Really happy with the camera which arrived in top condition with a very nice packing.

Love this camera. It takes great pictures. I just have to read the manual for all the things it can do. With kids, it's great, no more waiting for the camera to focus and the flash to warm up with a point and shoot. This is like a point and shoot but gives you instant and great results.

Although DSLRs are becoming increasingly complex and feature-rich, manufacturers are trying to make them easier to use. Nikon has been at the forefront of this development, over the last six months we've seen the Nikon D3100 and now it's bigger brother the Nikon D5100.

NIKON D5100 16MP Digital SLR Camera I bought a Nikon this time thinking I would have richer colors and better shutter speeds then Canon. Nope. It takes nice photos but this camera is for amateurs, not professionals needing more features for what is spent. Back to Canon next time I buy a new camera.

Feature rich, excellent image quality and great low light performance make the Nikon D5100 a strong contender in the sub-$1,000 price range.

External microphone port; Supports optional geotagging; User selectable focus points; Great color reproduction; Strong low light performance

Onboard microphone picks up everything; Dedicated ISO button would be a plus

The best camera I own

Great value for money

Can be slow to focus during filming
