Nikon D5100 Review
By Brian Jones
An affordable digital SLR camera from Nikon, the D5100 has just enough automatic and manual controls to please the photography enthusiast. A big heavy and bulky at 1.2 pounds, it has a vari-angle LCD monitor that swivels to any position, letting you take pictures from multiple angles easily. The HDR mode combines the high and low exposures to form one image with all the highlights and shadows in sharp detail. For $799, the Nikon D5100 has excellent video capabilities and fast continuous shooting at 5 frames per second.
