|
The D5100 is a 16-megapixel camera with a kit lens that has a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 27mm-82.5mm. It has a live-view 2.8-inch LCD (921,000 pixels). It also includes a through-the-lens viewfinder, which is helpful when composing in bright light. Because it accepts interchangeable lenses, and includes a mirror and a through-the-lens viewfinder, we consider this model an SLR. The camera's kit lens has a maximum aperture of f/3.5. The camera's shutter speed range is 30 seconds to 1/4000 of a second. The D5100 stores photos and video on SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards but has no on-board storage. It captures images as JPG or RAW files at a top resolution of 4928 x 3264 and full HD-resolution video as MOV files at a top resolution of 1920 x 1080 at 25 fps. Like most digital cameras, this model comes with a proprietary rechargeable battery. This SLR has 11 autofocus points. It also includes 3 flash modes (for the on-board flash), 16 exposure modes, and an exposure compensation control that can be set at +/-5 EV. The image stabilization system for this camera is lens-based. The D5100 measures 5.1 inches wide by 3.9 inches high by 6.3 inches deep, and weighs 31 ounces (1.9 pounds) (with battery, memory card, and strap). |
| About This Brand |
|---|
Nikon has a fairly extensive line of point-and-shoot models, known as Coolpix cameras. Its subcompacts, compacts, and super zooms are divided into three series—the budget L, step-up S, and high-end P series. Nikon also has an innovative S series camera that includes a built-in projector that lets you beam images or video clips onto any surface. Like Canon's SLR lineup, Nikon's D series offers cameras for every SLR user and budget and a wide range of lenses. High-end SLRs include large, full-frame sensors, which offer better quality in low light. |
