Introduction – Nikon d5100 specs

The Nikon d5100 is a very good quality camera, which can produce very good quality images even in low light. It is a little newer, than the also excellent Nikon d7000 and the picture quality is also a little bit better. What makes this camera very appealing in 2014 is a very low price, and the flip-out screen, which is very useful for example for video recording. The 16Mp Sony sensor is very capable and has enough resolution for practically for anything. Up to ISO 3200 the camera produce very good results, in smaller sizes ISO 6400 is also usable, which is very good for a smaller Aps-C sensor size camera.
