Nikon D5100 digital SLR
The entry-level end of the DSLR market is always packed with new cameras, with the Nikon D5100 the latest to challenge for honours. Smaller, lighter and better than its ancestor – the Nikon D5000 – there should be a lot to like about Nikon’s new baby.
At 16.2-megapixels, the Nikon D5100 is capable of producing incredibly sharp snaps. It’s packed with features, including a 3-inch screen that can be angled for easier use, and it uses a lot of the same technology found on more expensive Nikon cameras.
There’s the same CMOS sensor as the Nikon D7000, for a start, which promises outstanding image quality, and you’ll also find the same image-processing engine. You’ll even be able to create HDR photographs without using Photoshop, thanks to built-in HDR editing.
As with the majority of other recent DSLRs, the D5100 is capable of shooting Full HD video, with the ability to use auto-focus throughout to keep subjects looking sharp.
Nikon even claims a maximum ISO of 102,400 for very low light conditions, although what noise levels are like at that setting remains to be seen. Available soon, the Nikon D5100 will cost £670 without lenses.
