Nikon D5100 + 18-55mm VR Lens+ Extra Battery
The Nikon D5100 is a major upgrade to the older D5000. It has a larger and a more enhanced swivel LCD screen and the same remarkable sensor as the semi-professional D7000. In addition to the above changes, the camera also lost some weight, making it lighter and more compact than its predecessor.
The Nikon D5100 is mostly made of plastic. But don't this fact fool you – the plastic is still very tough and could easily take some beating. Talking about the LCD screen, the new 3 inch LCD screen on the D5100 is simply gorgeous. In fact, it is even a little deceiving, because photographs on the LCD sometimes just look too good. The biggest advantage of a plastic camera body is weight – the D5100 is only 510 grams, making it the second lightest Nikon DSLR.
I had a very positive experience with the Nikon D5100. The camera is capable of delivering excellent results both for digital stills and video. As can be seen from image comparisons against other older Nikon DSLRs, the sensor on the Nikon D5100 and D7000 DSLRs is truly remarkable. When compared to the older Nikon D90, the D5100 has better colours, image quality, dynamic range, and high ISO performance – that's with an increase of 4 megapixels.
The D5100 is one of the best entry-level Nikon DSLR on the market.
