Nikon SLR Cameras - Key Features Comparison

The Nikon D5100 is a high performance DSLR packed with innovative features. It is recommended for enthusiast photographers wanting the next step up from the D3100 or the (now discontinued) D5000 but who are not quite ready for the high end D7000.

This SLR camera has an improved look and feel with many added features over its predecessor, including some that are also offered in the more expensive D7000. Unfortunately to keep the cost down it does not have the same autofocus system as the D7000 but it does deliver high quality images and is definitely worth a look when purchasing a SLR camera.
