Nikon D5100 In-depth Review Barney Britton, 2017-02-04The arrival of the D5100 appears to signal the completion of Nikons refresh of its non-pro DSLR lineup. Its feature set and pricing mean that it sits very comfortably between the beginner-friendly D3100 and the high-end D7000 - it's clearly aimed to attract the attention of enthusiast photographers without cannibalizing sales of is sister models. A camera maker can judge the success of its market positioning by seeing how many people are wondering 'which model is right for me?' on discussion forums - and we think a D3100/D5100/D7000 progression would minimize such doubts. The official line is that the D90 maintains its position in the range, but both its naming and overlap with other models suggest that its role is now more one of historical interest than future significance.

Nikon D5100 review Audley Jarvis, 2017-02-04Retailing for approximately £670 body only or £750 with an 18-55mm VR kit lens, the Nikon D5100 replaces the D5000 as Nikon’s advanced entry-level DSLR. Sitting below the enthusiast-level D7000 but above the bare-bones D3100, the D5100 takes some advanced specifications from the former and mixes them with some of the more basic elements of the D7000, before adding some all-new features of its own to produce a neatly-specified model that bridges the gap between the two.
