Nikon D5100 Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
The Nikon D5100 is a high-performance DX-format DSLR that bridges the gap between enthusiast features and user-friendly operation. Powered by a 16.2MP CMOS sensor and the EXPEED 2 image processor—technologies shared with the acclaimed D7000—it delivers stunning image quality, low noise, and vibrant colors. With its side-articulated vari-angle LCD monitor and comprehensive 1080p Full HD movie capabilities, the D5100 is designed to unlock creative perspectives for both photographers and budding cinematographers.

Creative Composition & High-Res Imaging
16.2MP DX-Format Sensor: Capture professional-grade detail with a high-resolution sensor that excels in both bright and dim environments. The native ISO range of 100–6400 (expandable to 25600) ensures clean, sharp results even when shooting handheld in low light.

3.0″ Vari-Angle LCD: The 921k-dot high-resolution screen flips out 180° horizontally and rotates 270°, allowing you to easily compose shots from ground level, overhead, or even front-facing for self-portraits and vlogging.

In-Camera Special Effects: Add a unique stamp to your work with real-time effects like Selective Color, Miniature Effect, and Night Vision. These can be applied to both still photos and video recordings as you shoot.

Cinematic D-Movie Mode
Full HD 1080p Video: Record cinematic video at 30p, 25p, or 24p. The dedicated movie record button located next to the shutter allows for instant transitions from stills to motion.

Full-Time Servo AF (AF-F): Unlike many DSLRs of its era, the D5100 features subject-tracking autofocus during video, keeping your subjects sharp even as they move through the frame.

In-Camera Video Editing: Trim clips and apply filters directly on the camera’s high-resolution screen to prepare your footage for sharing without needing a computer.

Precision Performance & Tools
11-Point AF System: Featuring a cross-type sensor, the autofocus system provides fast and accurate subject acquisition. Use 3D-tracking to maintain focus on moving subjects across the frame.

Built-in HDR (High Dynamic Range): Tame high-contrast scenes automatically. The camera takes two exposures with one shutter release and combines them to preserve detail in both the brightest highlights and deepest shadows.

Active D-Lighting: Optimized for high-contrast situations, this feature restores lost detail in shadows and highlights as you shoot, mimicking the way the human eye perceives light.

Professional Handling in a Compact Body
Quiet Shutter-Release Mode: Perfect for weddings, wildlife, or quiet events, this mode dampens the sound of the mirror return for discrete shooting.

Integrated Dust Reduction: The sensor cleaning system uses vibrations to shake off image-ruining dust, ensuring your files stay clear throughout your shoot.

Scene Auto Selector: When shooting in Live View, the camera intelligently recognizes the scene—such as Landscape or Portrait—and automatically chooses the best settings so you can focus on the composition.
