  • Varios sitios, incluyendo nuestro blog hermano de Engadget en inglés, han analizado la nueva DSLR D5100 de Nikon. Las conclusiones, casi al unísono, es que tenemos entre nosotros a un impresionante dispositivo, de excelente calidad, y un precio razonable....

  • qualité d’image, gestion du bruit, autofocus performant, vidéo Full HD, construction du boîtier, écran LCD articulé.
  • position dispersée des boutons, rapport qualité/prix.
  • Le reflex Nikon D5100 vient remplacer le D5000. Jonction parfaite entre le D3100 et le D7000, il concentre dans un volume réduit des fonctions avancées avec un écran articulé. Avec ses qualités photo et vidéo, et un prix attractif, le D5100 a tout pour...

  • Abstract:  Le D5100 est livré en kit avec un 18-55 mm f/3,5-5,6 VR que nous connaissons déjà bien. Il est intéressant de vérifier si l'optique est capable de bien restituer les détails visibles par le capteur APS-C de 16,2 Mpx. L'optique du kit donne d'excellents...

  • La D5100 è una camera un po' particolare, con un cuore da grande ed un corpo da bambina. Offre veramente tanto dal punto di vista della qualità d'immagine ma conserva caratteristiche strutturali simili a quelle della D3100. Un connubio che piacerà in par...

  • Non abbiamo ancora parlato delle ottiche in dotazione. Sia AF-S DX Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR, sia lo zoom AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6 (5.5X) non sono obiettivi che brillano per luminosità, tutt’altro. Hanno il pregio di essere obiettivi econom...

  • Qualità delle immagini, funzioni e specifiche semiprofessionali
  • Avremmo preferito una maggiore personalizzazione dei pulsanti
  • La Nikon D5100 è un passo avanti importante nella storia delle fotocamere reflex. Rende disponibile, a un prezzo entry-level, funzioni e qualità tipiche di modelli più costosi e semiprofessionali. Basti pensare al sensore da 16 megapixel e, soprattutto, a...
