D5100 (body only)
16.2 megapixel APS-C DSLR
Enjoy 16.2 megapixels of uninhibited creative freedom with the Nikon D5100. Offering full HD movie capabilities, in-camera special effects, a fast 11-point autofocus system and 16 automatic exposure scene modes, the D5100 is the perfect camera for an amateur or budding professional photographer.
An ISO range from 100 to 6400 makes shooting in low-light conditions a breeze while Nikon's latest DX-format CMOS sensor and EXPEED 2 image processing engine ensure superlative image quality. The 3" vari-angle LCD monitor, which opens horizontally and flips up and down, allows you to view, shoot and record your subjects from unique perspectives.
Another fantastic feature is the HDR setting, which allows you to shoot scenes with extremely high contrast without clipping any details. The camera does this by taking two exposures in rapid successtion; the first exposure captures highlight detail, the second shadow detail, and the two images are then combined to create a single image that shows excellent tonality across the frame.
