  • De D5100 beschikt over 16 megapixels, in plaats van de 12 megapixels waarover de D5000 beschikt, Het LCD scherm is vergroot van 2,7 naar 3 inch en beschikt over 3 X zoveel pixels, Bij de D5100 klapt het LCD scherm naar links en kan dan draaien. Bij de D50
  • Ten dele onhandig menu; je moet soms lang scrollen om bij de parameters te komen die je wilt aanpassen, Geen interne AF aandrijving: een aantal Nikon objectieven verliezen hun AF mogelijkheden in combinatie met de D5100, Ten dele onhandig menu; je moet so

  • Klein, licht, Uitklapbaar scherm, Video mode erg mooi, Super beeld kwaliteit, ook bij minder licht
  • Geen AF micro aanpassing, Ergonomie niet helemaal top, AF systeem heeft kuren, Nikon lenzen duur
  • Voor de minder veeleisende fotograaf is dit een super mooi cameratje. Zeker als je geen ervaring hebt met andere merken en geen oude lenzen gaat gebruiken. Voor mij is het het net niet. Ik denk dat ik beter af geweest was met een D7000, maar dan mis je d...

  • Abstract:  Героиня нашего сегодняшнего обзора — камера Nikon D5100 была презентована в апреле текущего года как замена морально устаревшей D5000. В ней нет ничего революционного, просто всё стало немного лучше. Достаточно ли этих улучшений, чтобы сделать выбор в её ...

  • Как я уже отмечал ранее, Nikon D5100 занимает промежуточное положение между зеркалкой для начинающих D3100 и полупрофессиональной моделью D7000. Новинка ориентирована на фотографов с амбициями и предлагает широкие возможности для реализации всевозможных т...

  • Excelente sensor CMOS, tela LCD móvel, bom visor óptico, filmagem em 1080p, conector para microfone externo
  • Disparo contínuo poderia ser mais rápido, gravação de áudio em mono, não tem histograma em tempo real
  • Dona de uma configuração equilibrada e de uma interface amigável, a D5100 é indicada tanto para quem está começando a levar a fotografia mais a sério quanto para quem já possui uma D5000 e deseja um upgrade;...
