Nikon D5100 DSLR Camera
The Nikon D5100 is a versatile, high-performance DSLR that bridges the gap between enthusiast features and ease of use. At its core is a 16.2MP DX-format CMOS sensor and the EXPEED 2 processing engine—the same technology found in higher-end models—delivering stunning image quality and low-light performance. Whether you are capturing high-resolution stills or cinematic Full HD video, the D5100 provides the creative freedom to express your vision from any angle.

Creative Flexibility & High-Res Viewing
3.0″ Vari-Angle LCD Monitor: The standout 921,000-dot high-resolution screen flips out and rotates 180°, allowing you to easily compose shots from overhead, ground level, or front-facing positions for self-portraits and vlogs.

Special Effects Mode: Apply artistic “in-camera” filters to both stills and videos. Options include Selective Color (isolating one color while the rest stays B&W), Miniature Effect, Night Vision, and High Key/Low Key for atmospheric results.

In-Camera HDR (High Dynamic Range): Tame high-contrast scenes by automatically combining two different exposures into a single image with extended detail in both the shadows and highlights.

Performance & Low-Light Power
16.2MP Sensor & EXPEED 2: This combination ensures rich colors and fine detail with a native sensitivity range of ISO 100–6400 (expandable to 25600). Capture clean, usable images even in challenging, dim environments.

11-Point AF System: Featuring a cross-type sensor, the autofocus system covers a wide area of the frame. Use 3D-tracking to keep moving subjects in sharp focus as they travel across the scene.

Active D-Lighting: Automatically preserves details in bright highlights and deep shadows, producing images that more closely resemble how the human eye perceives the world.

Cinematic D-Movie Mode
Full HD 1080p Video: Record cinematic video at 30p with full-time-servo AF (AF-F), which tracks your subjects automatically so they stay sharp while in motion.

Creative Movie Controls: Utilize the same special effects available for stills in your video projects. The camera includes a dedicated movie record button for instant access and supports stereo sound recording via an optional external microphone.

HDMI Output: Review your footage on an HDTV directly from the camera and even control playback using your TV’s remote.

Intelligent Design & Reliability
Scene Auto Selector: When shooting in Live View, the camera intelligently analyzes the scene and selects the most appropriate mode (Portrait, Landscape, etc.) so you can focus on the composition.

Integrated Dust Removal: An automatic image sensor cleaning function vibrates the low-pass filter to keep your images free of dust spots.

Quiet Shutter-Release Mode: Slows the internal mirror movement to reduce mechanical noise, making it ideal for candid photography or quiet environments.

Efficient Battery Life: The EN-EL14 battery is designed for low energy consumption, offering approximately 660 shots per charge.
