D5100 16.2MP Digital SLR Camera & 18-55mm VR Lens

Such a good camera! Takes such good photos and is very easy to use. The pictures come out bright and very colorful.

Amazing!!! It came early and works well! I love it! Looks brand new!

I love this camera! It takes wonderful pictures and is extremely well made! I recommend this camera to every one and anyone who is looking for a professional level camera. But I have to say I received my camera with no battery and no memory card! Which was such a bummer sence the page implied that it was included in the purchase. I was not able to use my camera for two whole weeks after I received it, due to the fact that I had to order a battery and memory chip. This was very saddening for me sence I had planed on using the camera right away and none of the local stores sold the right type!

Llego rapido y se ve excelente

Camera is nice. Works great. Nikon is a fine brand.

i love how well the camera performs, i was nervous at first ordering a used camera for the first time. but the quality is great. it did take a while to ship but i mean it was def worth the wait.

This is a great camera to get started in professional photography. The camera is really nice. Put some money into better lenses, The stock lense is decent but your going to want more.

EVERYTHING WAS EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED . LOOKS BRAND NEW. ALL ORIGINAL ITEMS IN THE ORIGINAL BOX. COULD NOT BE HAPPIER.

I can't express in words just how this camera has changed my life. Until buying the D5100 I have only ever owned Compact cameras. SLRs scared me a little even though I always had a talent at taking good photos from a young age. I need not have worried as this baby is the absolutely BEST first time SLR to own. In short it offers you a great balance between affordability and having some really semi-pro features which give you a real feel of what is possible with a good SLR with a good lens. The kit you get here will fulfil the needs of most people who like taking anything from landscapes to portraits. You can of course buy additional lenses if you have the spare cash and push the boundaries of what is possible (i.e. buy a telephoto lens to snap concert performances or zoom in on far away wildlife). I however have just made the most out of what I got in the box taking the camera to North America in the Fall and the Middle East in the Spring. The end result are some of the best photographs I have ever taken in my life!! The clarity, the colours, the fast focus, the speed you can snap away just makes photography just such a joy. In fact I question why I waited so long to get an SRL. I feel I am now untied from any limitations and totally focus my attentions to being creative. Now I will warn a professional this may not be the model for you as the 7000 series is likely to attract you more. But if you are someone who has a family wanting to capture important landmarks or like me are someone who just has a passion for snapping your travels and people then this is likely to be a wonderful option for you. Here are some of the PROS and CONS I have found so far....and no I don't work for Nikon! ;-) PROS: - WORKS GREAT IN AUTOMATIC MODE IN A WIDE ARRAY OF SITUATIONS - OFFERS YOU LOTS OF MANUAL SETTINGS SHOULD YOU WANT TO EXPLORE - HAS A TILTING VIEW FINDER - PERFECT WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO HOLD YOUR CAMERA ABOVE A CROWD TO PHOTO THE QUEEN ON THE THAMES JUBILEE PAGEANT - COLOURS ARE SO TRUE TO LIFE IT ASTOUNDS ME - HD VIDEO IS SMOOTH, RICH AND GREAT TO HAVE IN AN ALL IN ONE DEVICE - THE 4-PICTURES-PER-SECOND-MODE MAKES PHOTOGRAPHING JUMPING SALMON A SNAP (WORKS SLOWER IF YOU NEED THE FLASH) - THE CAMERA CAN REALLY CAPTURE BIRDS DIVING AND PICKING UP FISH FROM RIVERS - IT HAS THE SPEED AND POWER PROCESSOR (AGAIN IF YOU ARE IN DAYLIGHT) - BATTERY LASTS ON FULL CHARGE FOR OVER 1000 SHOTS CONS: - THE 3RD PARTY COMPANY WHO OFFER THE EXTENDED 2 YEAR WARRANTY FOR NIKON ARE A JOKE. BADLY ORGANISED. BUT DON'T WORRY YOU'LL GET THERE IN THE END! Last word of advice is to protect the expensive lens do make sure you buy a Hoya 52mm UV Filter . It screws in at the end of your main lens and gives you "peace of mind" that if you do accidentally scratch it you don't have to pay out on a new lens. Also recommend you buy a Lowepro case! Oh once you get more adventurous think about buying an add-on flash which you can then direct to the ceiling when taking indoor shots - removing the shadowing around people/subjects you snap. ENJOY !!!!!!!!!!

super

Les images : très belles, fines, contrastées et avec un bon piqué, un très bon rendu des profondeurs de champ : c'est un vrai plaisir. ... et la sensibilité : incroyable ! pas de bruit, rendu excellent ! Donc idéal quand on évite le flash ! L'usage : facile à manier avec sa poignée, réglages faciles et en français (presque aussi pratique que les réglages des Lumix de chez Pana !...). Quant aux préréglages et options possibles, ils sont plus nombreux que nécessaire. L'écran pivotant dans toutes les directions, robuste comme on dit, permet de photographier sous tous les angles. Je l'ai depuis un an, je fais les réglages manuels et suis très content de cet appareil. Je regrette seulement de n'avoir pas pris un objectif 18 - 105, car le zoom est un peu limite sur ce modèle. Chargeur : sans câble, il se fixe directement sur la fiche murale, ce qui est pratique : peu encombrant.

Ya he comprado 2 cámaras Nikon 5100. Una la uso yo de manera "profesional" para fotos de productos, locaciones, eventos y ocio ( vacaciones y viajes). Es una cámara super fiable, EXCELENTE relacion precio/calidad, la pantalla articulada es una gran herramienta de acuerdo a las condiciones, el sensor tiene una sensibilidad lumínica mas que aceptable para el tipo de cámara, es cómoda (Suelo llevarla con la correa envuelta en mi muñeca), tiene un macro interesante con el lente del kit (18-55mm). La segunda cámara, fue para mi madre, completamente novata en la utilización de cámaras reflex. Obviamente al principio lo único que utilizó es la función automática (crimen), pero dado que tiene una manera muy fácil de cambiar los modos y efectos que vienen incorporados en la cámara, poco a poco se ha ido animando y utilizando el modo Manual y los efectos, inclusive ha hecho algunas capturas con exposición prolongada. Conclusión: Excelente cámara, tanto para utilización Semi-Profesional, como para iniciar en la fotografía digital reflex.

Ho ordinato questo articolo il 14 di agosto e mi è arrivato dopo due giorni, nonostante il giorno festivo di mezzo. Il pacco esterno è arrivato un pò rovinato, ma quello interno, contenente la macchina fotografica, era perfetto, anche se consiglio a chi si occupa dell'imballaggio di aggiungere più pluriball protettivo per sicurezza. Quindi per quanto riguarda il rivenditore e la spedizione posso essere più che soddisfatta! Ma veniamo alla macchina fotografica, che reputo un vero e proprio gioiellino. Perchè l'ho scelta? per motivi di lavoro avevo bisogno di una buona risoluzione delle fotografie in formato Raw, il motore di elaborazione delle immagini è l'EXPEED 2, lo stesso utilizzato dalla reflex professionale nikon D7000, quindi sulla qualità non si discute. Il corpo macchina è robusto, un pò di difficoltà si riscontra nell'impugnatura (ma forse dipende dal fatto che ho una mano piccola, quindi è un fattore soggettivo), devo dire che la pesantezza non si sente poi così tanto, da una reflex non si può pretendere un peso piuma. Ho provato questa macchina ed è veloce, ha un sacco di effetti creativi e di modalità scene, facile nell'utilizzo, anche nell'impostazione manuale, intuitivo il controllo dell'apertura del diaframma, l'esposizione e tempi di ripresa. E' la mia prima reflex, e non ho incontrato grandi difficoltà nell'utilizzo... anzi:). Mi dispiace solo per il manuale cartaceo che è arrivato in tedesco e per la garanzia che è europea (quindi di 2 anni) e non italiana (4 anni). Per il resto sono entusiasta, il rapporto qualità/prezzo è davvero eccellente! Consiglio questa macchina? assolutamente sì
