  • Abstract:  Nikons ersättare för D5000 går in ovanför D3100 men under D7000 bland tillverkarens systemkameror, men den har trots det samma 16,2 MP CMOS-sensor och EXPEED 2 processor som D7000 vilket innebär att RAW-bilderna sparas som 14-bitars filer och användare...

  • Nikon D5100 är riktigt bra för den som vill ha en hyfsat liten kamera med möjlighet till att fånga hela familjens äventyr på både bild och film i full-hd. Smidigheten hos den gör att den utan problem kommer att kunna hänga med utan att det blir krångli...

  • Abstract:  Instegskameran Nikon D5100 delar många likheter med övriga modeller i samma segment. Med samma 16,2 megapixelsensor som D7000 och därmed samma ISO-egenskaper på 100-25 600 ISO, har D5100 alla möjligheter att leverera bra bildkvalitet. Tillsammans med d...

  • Bra och dåliga detaljerAutofokusen är samma som sitter i D3100 och som satt i föregångarna D5000 och D90. Den fungerar bra och kombinerat med serietagningen på fyra bilder per sekund är D5100 användbar för enklare actionfoto. Nikon D5100 är precis som a...

  • Abstract:  I samarbeid med TV2 hjelper deg har DinSide testet seks systemkameraer i "mellomklassen" - for brukere som ønsker seg litt mer funksjonalitet enn det du får på de aller billigste modellene. Den mer folkelige termen er kanskje "speilreflekskamera", men når...

  • Strålende bildekvalitet, God lysmåler, Meget bra på video
  • Få direktevalgsknapper, Synlig optisk fortegning med kitobjektivet
  • Nikon D5100 er et fortreffelig kamera for alle som ønsker å kombinere høy bildekvalitet med HD-video. Det er enkelt å bruke, enkelt å lykkes med, og vil tilfredsstille det bredere lag av folket. Fordi det er et allsidig kamera, med mange muligheter. D5...

  Published: 2011-06-17, review by: Akam.no

  • Nikon skuffer ikke med D5100. Det vi har sett på Nikons seneste modeller er at de flytter lista for hva et kameraet i sitt prissegment skal prestere, og det presser konkurrentene til å følge etter, noe vi får nyte godt av. D5100 har bildekvalitet som ...

  • Meget god bildekvalitet, svært brukervennlig med omfattende hjelpefunksjon, godt med funksjoner og innstillingsmuligheter, relativt god fokushastighet ved bruk av live view, meget god batterilevetid ...
  • Det meste styres via skjermen – få innganger til å endre på innstillinger ...
  • Noen vil savne flere knapper og innfallsvinkler til å endre på innstillingene, men bortsett fra det presterer Nikon D5100 såpass godt jevnt over at det så vidt kaprer "best i test"-utmerkelsen denne gangen.Bildekvaliteten er meget god i de fleste situ...

  • Høj opløsning, super filmfunktion, gennemført design, masser af effektfiltre
  • Reelt kan objektivet ikke følge med den høje opløsning, trods fine billeder
  • I en tid hvor Canon (berettiget) sidder på en stor del af DSLR-markedet kan du skille dig ud med denne digitale perle. Kombinationen af høj brugervenlighed, god kvalitet og høj blæreværdi gør det til et perfekt alternativ ...
