guess work out of tracking your subjects while in motion. Effortless

HDR (High Dynamic Range)
Exquisite detail in highlight and shadow
In
scenes with extreme contrasts, such as bright, sunlit clouds and a
foreground deep in shadow, it was once quite difficult to render the
textures of both equally. Not any more.
D5100 combines two exposures to
create an image revealing an extremely wide dynamic range, but with less
noise and richer color gradation than ever before.
Stunning image quality
Image quality in a class of its own
Incorporating
the latest
Nikon D-SLR technologies such as the 16.2MP DX-format CMOS
sensor and EXPEED 2 image processing engine, the D5100 delivers
outstanding image quality. Its CMOS sensor offers a remarkably wide ISO
range (ISO 100 to 6400) with reduced noise which enables you to shoot at
faster shutter speeds and capture scenes and subjects with less blur.
Handheld shooting and full HD movies come out looking great even in low
light.
Speed and performance that delivers
With high-speed
continuous shooting at approx. 4 frames per second, you’ll never miss a
moment and with
D5100’s large optical viewfinder providing accurate and
realistic composition, you’ll get a precise view and focus in every
situation.
Capture your subjects precisely
D5100’s 11-point AF system
provides flexibility to compose the shot you want ensuring your subject
is captured sharply wherever it’s located in the frame. Working together
with the Scene Recognition System, the camera can keep your main
subject in focus even if the composition changes using Nikon’s exclusive
3D-tracking.
