Nikon D5100 BEST PRICE

Nikon D5100 BEST PRICE, First dSLR, Loving it.
After seeing some beautiful HDR photos, I was inspired to start taking photos for myself. I settled on the Nikon D5100 and have enjoyed the experience so far. Never having used a dSLR, the first thing one notices is, "Wow. These photos are great! You mean, I can actually take a photo in this dark room and not have it blown out with harsh camera mounted flash?! This is awesome!" :)

One of the things that I like about the D5100 that I did not think I would is the articulating LCD screen. I didn't think I'd need it, thought it would be in the way, and thought I'd want those buttons on the left hand side of the screen more than the ability to move the screen around. I have used this feature many, many times and have gotten some good photos because of it. It works well to frame shots when the camera is low to the ground or in an otherwise hard area to put your eye to the viewfinder. Also, if you're out in the bright sun, you can angle the screen so you can actually see what's on it instead of sun glare.

What pushed me over the edge in getting the D5100 over the D3100 is the availability of the wireless remote. With the D3100, you need to get the cable remote. The wireless remote works with the D5100 from both the front and back of the camera. There were other points; MP, fps, etc.; but the remote pushed me over the top.

The camera has many features I am still learning to use and enjoy. If this is also your first dSLR experience, I recommend reading up on photography on the web and taking a beginning photography course. Knowing what f-stop, shutter speed, exposure value, depth of field, ISO, mean and how you use them to take great photos is the first step in taking the camera off automatic and in to manual mode. It's not that hard, and with a fun camera like the D5100, you'll be going from snapshots to photographs in no time. 



Nikon D5100 BEST PRICE, very good.
My first "good" camera was a Nikon N60 with various lenses. Taking multiple shots of a subject got tedious, being not able to review the pictures till they were developed. Switched to a Canon S5 IS( a wonderful camera) that took fantastic pictures for a point and shoot. Also with it being digital allowed me to easily use digital programs to fix shots, or be more artistic. Then I foolishly went to a Canon SX30IS which took lousy pictures of anything other than extreme telephoto. I quit taking pictures because of it. I decided to check out digital SLRs and found the D5100, it has impressive specs, and now I own one, it has impressive performance. It has let me fall in love with taking photos again. I didn't rate it for video, having not used that yet. I'd say it would be a good camera for a beginner digital SLR user who really wants to learn, but will still be able to make good shots using the auto functions till more is learned.
