Superb picture quality. Nice functions. Great value for money.

Alot of my pictures come out blurred and out of focus, even when I focus myself, still not that clear of an image. loved it when I first got it, helped me learn alot more as an intermediate photographer however I feel I have grown out of it quickly and now am looking for other options, thinking of...

Conceptually, the Nikon D5100 absolutely fills up the gap in Nikon's line-up between the entry-level D3100 and the much more enthusiast-orientated D7000 - getting married to the ease-of-use of the former with the picture great company's latter.

I couldn't decide between the Nikon D5100 and the Sony a57 so i bought them both to try them out. Overall they are both great but in the end I chose the Sony. The colours and clarity on both were great as you would expect. The menu system on each are quite different but both very effective.

The Pentax ist DL was a good travel recorder with quick point and shoot options but its battery life was a pain and the 6M Raw capture was quickly left behind with technology. Nikon screen size about equal, battery life greatly improved over DL and far greater pixel per image (16 M Raw capture) for...

Excellent image quality; Unintimidating interface; but with plenty of manual control; Articulated; high-res LCD screen; Sophisticated AF system for the price; Easy manual selection of off-center AF points; Unusually fast Live View AF for a low-end DSLR (but still relatively slow compared to...

Sub-optimal placement of some second-tier controls (like live view switch; Movie shooting button 'orphaned' from live view switch; Buggy Live View / Movie Mode (movies aren't necessarily recorded at set aperture; No live histogram in live view; AF still a little sluggish in live view mode; full-time...

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.
