Nikon D5100 – I’ve only had the D5100 for a number of days, and I really like it. I beloved it out of the box. Just before buying it, I’d been contemplating the additional expensive Nikon D7000 along with the Canon EOS 60D. But getting the sort of man that is in general pretty technology/gadget challenged, I knew I’d under no circumstances use 90% in the readily available characteristics on both camera, so I couldn’t actually justify the additional cost.

What I really like right away regarding the D5100 is how uncomplicated it is to implement ideal out of the box. Pictures are not surprisingly phenomenal, and specifically I’ve enjoyed utilizing the “Night Vision” impact setting to seize some outstanding black & white images of my pets in poor lighting without having to irritate them with a flash. Video is terrific and pretty uncomplicated to implement. I expect I’ll have a ton of fun with this camera.

Cons? It’s a bit plasticky feeling, but do I actually care? No. I won’t be lugging this camera to the top of Mt. Everest, nor shooting action pics in the rain. One issue is that it is virtually impossible to find a compatible fast fixed focal length 85mm portrait lens unless you want to spend significantly additional than you paid for the camera itself – which I do not. For this camera’s motor to drive the lens in AF, you will need to implement AF-S/AF-I lenses only, and there are not a lot of great [fast] affordable portrait lens options in that class, IMHO. But getting at most a pretty casual photo kind of man, I can live with that shortcoming. The kit lens takes wonderful shots.

Overall, I’m extremely pleased and I expect that anyone wanting a good camera for casual photo/video use will be as well.
