What is the difference between the Nikon G2 and D5100?
Ergonomically, the G2 is the most ‘involved’, and has the most physical control points and a touch-sensitive LCD screen, but overall the three cameras are physically quite similar. The D5100 is a smaller and (we think) more attractive camera than its predecessor the D5000.
How does the Nikon D5100 compare to Nikon D7000?
The D5100 has a very similar 16.2MP CMOS sensor to the excellent one seen in the D7000 but, understandably, loses out on that camera’s high-end build and feature-set. So there’s no wireless flash control, magnesium alloy build or 39-point AF system but the underlying image quality is all but identical.
Is the Nikon D5100 the completion of Nikon’s non-pro lineup?
The arrival of the D5100 appears to signal the completion of Nikons refresh of its non-pro DSLR lineup. Its feature set and pricing mean that it sits very comfortably between the beginner-friendly D3100 and the high-end D7000 – it’s clearly aimed to attract the attention of enthusiast photographers without cannibalizing sales of is sister models.
Is the ME-1 compatible with the Nikon D5100?
Utilizing a standard 3.5mm stereo jack, the ME-1 is ideal for the D5100 and other Nikon HD movie capable D-SLR’s such as the D3s, D300s, D7000, as well as the COOLPIX P7000 Available in April for $159.95($179.95 list price).
Is the Nikon D5100 the best bang for the Buck camera?
I am delighted with this little camera, especially due to the excellent images, and Live View with the swivel screen is simply terrific for use on most any difficult subject. The d7000 is another excellent camera that I own and have used this year, but I must give the d5100 my Best Bang for the Buck award.
