Nikon D5100 DSLR Camera Body

The Nikon D5100 is a mid-entry level APS-C DSLR camera body built around Nikon’s F-mount lens system. It features a 16.2-megapixel CMOS sensor and EXPEED 2 image processing engine, delivering strong image quality and low-light performance relative to its class. A vari-angle rear LCD screen that flips and rotates away from the body is a notable feature at this level, supporting flexible framing from a variety of shooting positions including low-angle, overhead, and self-shooting scenarios. Video recording extends to full HD 1080p, and a full range of exposure modes from fully automatic through to manual gives photographers access to varying levels of control. The camera is compatible with the broad Nikon F-mount lens ecosystem spanning AI, AF, AF-S, and AF-P specifications, though autofocus operation requires a lens with a built-in focus motor as the D5100 does not include a body-side screw-drive motor.
