Pros: 1) One of the best matrix and processor in the amateur segment. Maid Institute Sonia :) So in fairly calm conditions snapshots 7000, where also this matrix processor and 5100 images are identical.
2) Ergonomics, IMHO, at the height of the team worked out design and button layout is perfect.
3) Value for money. Even though the flooding in Thailand (flooded plants Nikon, Sony, Canon ..). Moreover, it is temporarily after NG subsides.
4) The rich arsenal of functionality, but competently oragnizovanny - I personally do not understand the instructions for just 30 minutes, although this is my first SLR (but here it is important to know well fotomatchast with 0 will be quite difficult to complete.)
Now raise the level of general trend of amateur sets higher. It was with them begins testing innovation, because it is the largest segment of the photographic market.
5) Rotary screen and its quality. Although this is now the norm. That does not detract from the fact ;)
6) Safety device as a whole. Nikon respect not only themselves, but also their users. It is felt. All machines amateur band are reliable enough for relevant queries.
7) Kitovsky lens. Not all brands give them credit quality. In Nikon do. For the very beginning - a great working optics.
Disadvantages: 1) Lack of a screwdriver and extra buttons (on 5100 only one) to name a drawback for this segment is difficult. Them while on amateur apparatus and do not call.
Screwdriver is needed for standard lenses "AF", produced by the 80's, which were made without the built-in motor. The last 5 years, they are released very few completely duplicating the standard "AF-S". Screwdriver, it is also quite noisy and slow :) So, with rare exceptions such lenses and yuzayut, especially amateurs.
A dopkopki need for quick access when the job is burning and conditions are quite extreme. Again, this is for enthusiasts and professionals.
2) Plastic case, it is also normal for this price range. And contrary to some claims, it feels very personal, if properly use the device.
3) Cap. That's what I would like more, and lighter. God bless him, pointing to the points, they personally I and 11 will suffice.
But here it is the norm for almost all devices in this series.
And do not worry, this shortcoming is not critical. The viewfinder is really important, IMHO, when important precise manual focus. And this is a Semi and profspetsifika. And quickly get used to this.
4) feasibly want battery. But this is typical of such devices. But still wants stronger! Kraynyak buy 2 pieces.
Like it :)
Comment: Now the industry amateur DSLRs is that machines one level: Nikon, Canon, Sony, Pentax for lovers will be nearly identical. Unlikely you'll see a big difference in quality, especially in the jpeg.
Canon - austerity, like reportage, best video, so if you first of all for the video shoot, I recommend Canon. Sonia has the most innovation, but more buggy - new to the mirror field, which, however, it actively learn. Pentax - mylenie, which gives an artistic effect is specific. Nikon - versatile enough, but without specifics, IMHO. In general, recreational vehicles segment all universal, especially when shooting in Auto or P.
Do not suffer tehnofetishizmom.
Remember, too, that in the world of digital SLR lenses are of greater importance. The cameras are replaced every 2-3 years and become outdated, and their "eyes" keep the market 5-10 years or more. Take subjectively.
In general: D5100, a model for the beginner who is not limited to periodic surveys and / or family use of the device, and how passion for photography will not be seriously considered. Then you simply take the D3100. The unit is also perfect among his sversnikov, with excellent quality.
If you want to do business seriously, but still new and the machine you have - the first DSLR, the 5100 is an ideal choice. Potential, high quality, lots of features and nothing more.
However, I advise beginners to pay quite 5t.r. and take the 5100, definitely will get, but do not lose ;)
Here goraaazdo D7000 is more expensive, and it is for enthusiasts who have already passed their first DSLR, and who have a lot and takes a long time - he and sturdy case is important, and a screwdriver (and they know what it is :)), and an excellent viewfinder. Well, extra buttons, of course.
Ordinary amateur will rarely use it, but the price is higher by 20 TR, meanwhile. So do not bother. Besides, 7000 is not new, but 5100 just six months.
In its segment D5100 one of the best and most interesting cameras fact.
