Pros: Excellent value for money, weight, battery life, display "swivel"

Cons: few focus points, does not have the AF motor.

Opinion: Literally in love with this camera. Over the years I have changed several bodies before coming to this. The Nikon D40, the 40X, the Canon 1000D, the Nikon D5000 up to the D5100. Frankly immediately, unlike the others I heard my. It has a quality / price amazing. Even at "high" ISO behaves better than the others tried by me (including Nikon D90, which already at 800ISO becomes scandalous). I managed to shoot chart at ISO 3200 with an acceptable texture, so I could not be that happy. I recommend it to those approaches to digital photography, it is a great way to get started and not only, as the satisfaction he gave me. In fact I'm thinking about making the jump from APS-C and full-frame and I think this macchinettina miss him a lot, he really gave me a lot of satisfaction. I can only talk about it well

Pros: sensor quality, quality / price ratio

Cons: few focus points

Opinion: My first digital SLR. Beautiful to the touch, well built, allows you to learn and become familiar with the modern world photo. Sure .... after a while you feel the lack of multiple points of focus, because 11 are actually few. But the sensor is very good, worthy of superior machines. I felt much more expensive cars, and I think the D5100 has a value / price very competitive. Overall very positive.

Pros: Sensor, display, value for money

Cons: few focus points, no AF motor, it not Tropicalised

Opinion: Reflex good to start with, I use it mainly for sports photos and is doing very well. It has a good image quality, a bit 'noisy at high ISO.L'ho purchased with the classic 18-55, then replaced with a 18-105, and I accompanied initially with 50 1/8 and 55-200 both Nikon.rnConsigliatissima for those entering the world of photography

Pros: sensor, rotatable display, weight.

Cons: Lack of second display, a few focus points, a few shortcuts.

Opinion: I purchased the car kit with the 18-55 then added a Nikon 70-300, a 50mm and successively the 10-24 .... I was very happy, is a REFLEX to start and learn to study the picture .. rnOra I would miss the second display AF and a more powerful and with more points! rnIl movable monitor is perhaps one of the features that I would like this on a pro body such as the D610 or d810.rnPer the rest of the pictures are really good with a sensor spectacular, the machine is strong enough and the handle at least for me that I have the great hands going very well! rnMachina recommended!

Pros: Sensor, rotatable display.

Cons: Few focus points, button layout, lack of a second ring and the AF motor.

Opinion: I bought this camera in December of 2012 in a kit with the Nikkor 18-55 and I was happy with the purchase because after all there I found myself very well. It 'a camera body suitable for the novice who wants to discover and learn photography and can give a lot of satisfaction thanks to a very good sensor (same as D7000). The swiveling display and ', to date, almost a necessity' able to allow different points of recovery. Among the major defects I have noticed a few focus points and the lack of a second ring. (Cmq not present in almost any entry level). There 'to say that I struggled quite get used to the button layout to allow shooting without taking your eye from the viewfinder. After almost 3 years I must admit that I begin to feel the need 'of a semi-pro body.

Pros: Excellent sensor, high quality image

Cons: Few controls on the camera body

Opinion: Now two years using the D5100 .. and I have to say that and a great car especially for the sensor one of the few managed to perfection .. in a nutshell you have the same quality of photographic sister .. logically D7000 camera body and more limited as functions .. then if you want to maximize the quality of the file Nef and some function more especially in the live view as ISO control manual .. must installarci firmware hack .. which is on the net .. and the difference is known since the d5100 with the original firmware saves the nef in compressed lossy .. with qesto firmware will not have data loss on Nef .. I find advantages especially post .. therefore you will go to increase the picture quality especially on gradation and color .. Regards

Pros: Swiveling display, slim, plastic good, Battery

Cons: No motor inside, a few points of fire, there is no ring and little customizable.

Opinion: I bought this camera in late 2012 coupled with Nikon 18/200, I had just satisfaction, the sensor is dense the right, up to 800 ISO noise accettabilissimo to 1600 you have to work for pp, higher hello rosa.rnLa battery without live view me hard quietly over 1000 shots and still raw (the last InfernoRun I took 1,100 shots at home and was not finished) rnL'unica real flaw of this virtuous SLR is the ability to customize one single key (now ISO) and the lack of the second ring, as the first SLR buy back 1000 times.

Pros: Excellent value for money, many special effects on camera for those who do not want to study but do the same beautiful photos, FX button programmable to quickly recall a function (e.g. ISO values)

Cons: Lack of focus in the room and tropicalization (but at this price you can not expect more)

Opinion: Purchased about six months ago and now made more than 5,000 shots, I have practically proven in most of its functions (and are many), has always behaved well, the menus, difficult at the beginning, become easy and fast once known, especially the menu visible A monitor that gives the possibility to set a large part of the main parameters, also convenient the possibility to rotate it as needed. The HDR function unfortunately only works in JPEG (I would have preferred in raw) but it works fine, also wanting in combination with D_lighting. Fast exposure meter also in dark environments and with the lens in kit (18-55) not the top albeit valid; The sensor from the best of SE with quality lenses. The ISOs become excessive after the 800 but you can pull up to 1600 without any major problems, (with the 35mm F/1.8nikkor you can quietly do Night street freehand). What to say about larger camera, including special effects, preset scenes, possibility of manual or semiautomatic settings there are no shots that do not succeed. I notice that others complain about a rather weak battery, with a full (at least so far) I do about 1000 photos and are not a few in a day.

Pros: Great sensor, lcd with very good resolution and adjustable, management iso

Cons: Lack hot keys (eg for Iso) A little 'small for those with large hands like me

Opinion: According to me the band is going to play eccellente.rnIl sensor derived from the D7000 is excellent and, in my opinion, you do not create a lot of noise even at high iso.rnDavvero great to be my first car, I found myself very well with menus (although some would argue that they are too complex) rnMi would have liked more points for the focus but then can not go and steal market share to buy it with the sisters grandi.rnNon 18-55, better 18-105rnDetto what I can only be satisfied monopoly for purchase rnP.s. The battery does not last very much rnMeglio have two or beat a grip that would also improve impugnaturarn

Pros: Great 16.2MP sensor, swiveling display high resolution, good resistance to high ISO, compactness

Cons: Absence me af internal engine, lack of weather sealing, no hot keys to set the various parameters (Ex: ISO), compactness

Opinion: I purchased this machine as my first reflex staff, who say ... WOW !!! Obviously for people like me who makes the leap from compact (or even smartphone) to a reflex as this will remain stunned, especially if learns to use not only in automatic shooting in jpeg (for ste robe tantovale remain on a compact). rnCe I have for two years now and I have had the opportunity to compare it with other reflex of my acquaintances. I only say that there is a reason why the sensor DX d5100 this was and still is one of the best. To let you know if with other SLR noise starts to be a problem already at 400 iso, with this 800 was still quiet. Moreover 16mp are absolutely few, flanked with a 50mm F1.8 details are captured perfectly. Portroppo the absence of internal af engine is being widely felt if you want to switch to other optical (usually AF lenses cost almost half of those AF-S). The "compact" I mentioned that in both the pro against because the dimensions are great forthe journey but if you mount such a 70-200 2.8 as I did you immediately notice that the set is totally biased towards the goal. rnNel complex still remains an excellent machine for those entering the world of SLR and does not want to spend a huge amount. Each menu has explanations and screen swivel pemetterà you to take pictures in live view unthinkable with other SLR (or at least not very good on the first try ... even second and third). Consigliata.rnrnPs: to be reckoned with in my opinion the high-resolution display that peremtte to see pictures in preview clearly. In a canon of a friend of mine (the 1100D I think) seemed to look a cathode ray tube, the pictures were all pixelated and did not make it a good idea from the preview then always seemed to be redone.

Pros: Adjustable Display - 16MP - Automatic cleaning sensor - Good management ISO - Photo very sharp - Possibility of external microphone

Cons: Battery a bit 'little durable (after 300-500 shots in jpg, and about 200-300 in raw) - Position keys not optimal for those with big hands (NB: no hands) (nothing earth-shattering)

Opinion: Excellent reflex always amazes. For this range the noise runs it very well .. At about 1400 - 1600 iso, in the evening, the noise has become a little 'present although almost imperceptible. There is the self-cleaning sensor. A 16 MP sensor with an advanced construction technology allows you to make razor-sharp pictures. Obviously, for those in doubt, there is also the raw format .. rnRapporto quality / price I would say optimal (<- December 2014 kit with 18-55 and camera body). My advice? Buy this one, you will not regret.

Pros: Good and excellent image sensor, 16.2MP, swiveling display very handy in some situations, weight and size, you plasticona but good quality, battery (if you do not use live view) ...

Cons: The absence of some key you could use, even in "silent shutter" shutter noise is not very pleasant, 11 points of focus are sometimes Pochini ..

Opinion: Squeezed for good ... after my D5100 (first reflex for me) I decided to give an opinion on the car .. at first glance perhaps having it in your hand you have the impression of not having a "professional car" with excellent performance for its size you want for the lack of some key in more than would have been useful .. in fact it is so, it is not a professional machine, but great satisfaction ... the sensor electronics el inherited from the D7000 photos can be taken really good big sister with the opportunity to work with ISO high enough with a good yield (up to 1600) .. i 16.2 MP to do their jobs better by delivering photos with excellent quality and beautiful details ... shame qullo snap loud, sometimes too intrusive ..! ultimately for me a great camera for people who are in the world SLR for the first time .. it does its job in an excellent way with a quality / price ratio right ..!

Pros: Excellent first APS-C, lightweight, compact, adjustable monitor very comfortable, good megapixels, battery life

Cons: few function keys, noise above 800 iso

Opinion: It 'was my first APS-C and gave me a lot of satisfaction, colors, profonodità images, pleasant and easy to use even for beginners. Makes no better if combined with a lens from kits. Roughly the same electronics of her older sister, but with a D7000 body is not weather sealed, with no internal motor for AF and the classic 11-point focus, but these are not flaws, quirks are less for a car that will hold the right level. Highly recommended.

Pros: Swivel screen, light weight, good pictures, good autofocus.

Cons: with standard calibration blurred, shot very noisy

Opinion: After about 10,000 shots I decided to give a review personale.rnLa thing that drew me to this machine in the first place was the swivel screen is very convenient, and especially if you are used to keep it closed when not in use is kept new forever , sorry that Nikon has not even put in 7100 rnCome flaw I found the noise of the shot, really pushy, if you shoot in church or at the theater they turn in all modes (quiet shutter-release) things do not cambiano.rnAltro flaw I found the little sharpness, I thought it was a choice of nikon to hold the calibration of sharpness a bit low but speaking personally I keep it with the picture control to 6 alas increases the rumorernPentax k5 with the same sensor is able to do more better sharpness and less noise (damn) rnL'autofocus for me is great, the color rendering Nikon natural and neutrarn

Pros: Light weight, swivel LCD, excellent value for money, quality

Cons: controls in the menu, plasticone, no AF motor

Opinion: After seven years with a compact digital camera made in August 2012 I went to this digital SLR camera and the jump was immediately evident. I was 'practical' because I have a Nikon film SLR and I found myself holding it immediately with the main controls. When you want a little 'push but with different customizations you is a bit' limited and you have to enter too many times in the menus and feels the lack of a few buttons to be used more directly for the adjustments. The photos are of good quality although sometimes manual seems to turn a bit 'too green. Read and fun definitely recommend it as a first step to approach the digital SLR and to understand what love photographing and become familiar. Of course if you want to evolve then as the camera body's advice is always to invest 'good' in optics.

Pros: Sensor, lightweight, practical, adjustable display, Full HD movies

Cons: No AF motor, no control wireless flash, not tropical

Opinion: In my opinion a car from great potential, it inherits the sensor and processing engine data from the D7000 sister that immediately leads to a high level of quality. Its light weight and small size make it trasportabilissima, almost like having a bridge with him but with a yield quite different. The downside is when the match goals a bit 'bulkier and heavier than traditional targets kit or mounting a flash, the complex is a bit' unbalanced? But you can not have everything! I would, however, advise anyone seen the excellent value for money made, both the beginner and the pro will be thrilled that maybe will bring with him instead of the compact!

Pros: lightweight, good sensor

Cons: not tropical, check in menu

Opinion: A great car for a beginner (after years of absence from the 35mm, I'm back with this machine). rnConsente great shots and even under preset modes gets along very well. When the bag then you start to fill goals and accessories, the light loses its value and feels the lack of more controls on the camera body to not waste time in the menu, as well as the lack of protection to moisture, dust, heat and cold are more serious regret bodies (D300?) rnL'ho socket for the adjustable viewfinder, then I only used a couple of good volte.rnInsomma to start / restart, but in my opinion shows the limitations when trying to exploit it fully.

Pros: lightweight, adjustable viewfinder, quiet, impeccably made, some interesting features such as thumbnail images ..

Cons: Plasticona although good quality ..

Opinion: Its compactness and lightness convinced me to replace the compact that I always keep with me. Already from the first shots in conjunction with your cheap 18-55 I was pleasantly surprised. Nititezza, contrast and bright colors are the order of the day and sometimes does not regret the older sisters who leave home more often (at least that does not have specific requirements for work with the FULL FRAME), in fact after comparing files I would say that its 16.2 million pixels efficiently play their work, giving the pictures a very good quality. The final icing is the adjustable viewfinder which helps a lot in particular photos ...
