When lenses are now used, inter alia
- Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 55-300mm 1: 4,5-5,6G ED VR
- Tamron SP AF 60mm F / 2.0 Di II Macro
As previous Olympus users (E510) course I had to "relearn" but that went surprisingly quickly because the menu navigation is intuitive.
Meanwhile, I have made almost 5,000 pictures and can say that the camera has no significant weaknesses.
The image quality is (of course depending on the jew. Lens) outstanding, the workmanship is very good, the layout of controls in any case not illogical and the monitor is very readable even in direct sunlight.
Fall in both the menu navigation, the additional equipment (eg. As integrated zoom motor for older lenses) as well as the significant differences in weight, but somewhere the significant price Scheid has indeed come Compared to D7000.
Important ultimately is the image quality, specifically including in low light conditions.
Here the white D5100 with similar results ostentatious as the D7000, because it can easily produce photos at ISO 1600 that do not act noisy, but really turn out very well.
Who wants to use older lenses (ie with manual focus or without a built-in AF motor), which is entirely to manually focus and exposure for. B. at AiS-Objektven will you need to manually completely, because the D5100 so can not measure ,
The built-in flash is powerful enough for normal indoor use, as long as you want to illuminate any cathedral o. Ä. Or needs.
Somewhat annoying is the sales strategy of Nikon, as far as the camera battery, because by a protected chip recognize the camera if you use an original battery and and refuses to work with a replica battery.
Besides, I could not detect any weaknesses. Compared to the D7000 my pictures are not in the same poor lenses, and compared with my elderly Olympus D510
falls significantly better quality immediately apparent. This is especially true in low light Receives Nissen such. B. Photography of wildlife, where the D5100 to classes is better.
So I can recommend every ambitious amateur photographers with price consciousness, to look at this camera even closer.
