I’m telling you guys, the Nikon D5100 is an excellent camera! I recommend using prime lenses! The glass I’m using is the Nikkor 35mm, 50mm and 85mm all f1.8G lenses. I love it just as much as my D610 and my D750! The video quality will be better with these later DSLRs but you can get photos just as good with the D5100 if you know what your doing!

I've owned the D5100 for over a decade when I bought it at Costco; it included an 18-55 and 55-300 kit lenses. It's my first DSLR but learned to enjoy using this for night photos of the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges, and taking photos of big events at my job. I later on invested in bigger memory cards, SB-700 speedlight, and more recently, used 35mm and 18-200 lenses. Still works like it did on day one.

Which lense do you use with it?

I (as I always do!) researched myself dizzy before giving my money into purchasing the best kit for my purposes (and value for money). The D5100 at the time ticked my desires and soon after the Nkon/Nikkar prime & zoom lenes came for more flexible shooting options. Years later, and I'm still searching for reason to justify upgrading - delivering top quality photo memories, ease of use ad comfort are main reasons. I came across your review whilst researching and agree with your findings, so for now my D5100 remains as I still cannot let this one go!

@@keeganpetersen3618 Hey Kegan. So I’m using two of these connected to an HDMI (Input)-USB adapter each I bought at Amazon. (No brand). To keep them on I’m powering them with an AC/DC battery each, connected to the wall socket. And to prevent them from locking down after some time, I had to kinda “jailbreak” them with a 3rd party software you can find online (the name I really can’t recall). Be mindful of two things: you CAN turn off most of the overlay information off so it doesn’t get in the way. But you CAN’T hide the face tracker (as far as I have found). So you’ll have to snug it away to a corner and find something clever to cover it up. And also be aware that the signal you’re sending to the PC (I use OBS) is actually more like a 4:3 where you can see the full display as it comes out of the camera. So you need to crop it just so the essential frame you need will be visible. This really isn’t a cheap plug, but feel free to visit my channel, on the Live section and watch the live stream I did this weekend using all these methods. Both my shot and my guest’s is being filmed with a Nikon D5100. Hope this helps!

The fungus inside the lens is not a good sign. Unfortunately, it will cost more to clean the lens, so I'd recommend getting a new lens if possible. Fungus in the lens will definitely affect image quality.

Pro photographer and owned the D5100 since 2013. It's great. When I go shooting on a day trip for fun. I leave my other expensive Nikon's and simply grab this and go! Even with the 18-55mm kit lens... Yeah! People see my portfolio and the photos taken on this camera get just as many nice comments as my other cameras. Actually I have two D5100 cameras so my wife can use the other one. She just puts it in auto mode (green) and fires away. Tip: Take one photo with flash on, the next one hold flash down with your finger. This dramatically increases your odds of getting at least one shot right. And also like others say, try some prime lenses like a 35mm. f/1.8 or the 50mm. f/1.8 etc. Don't think you have a poor quality camera, the D5100 is awesome 😎 Practice composition and lighting. Take as many pictures as you can!

I'm using the Nikon D5100 for such a long time already, since other DSLRs are just costing too much for a hobby purpose. Ever since I use it, it only disappointed in ISO quality (going above 640 is...not so good). I'm now using it for macro photography with the help of Nikkor 50mm (the best lens out there for this particular camera!!!) and two Kenko rings for some macro shots. It's an old camera and the quality of the images do tell that, but still, it's a very, very good camera!!!

I chose the D3300 over the D5500, a decision I now think might have been a mistake, as I never really used it. A lot was happening in my life at that point, so the camera was just set aside. Now, I'm planning to start using it again, and I might get my D5100 back. I sold it to my mom, but she doesn't use it since she prefers video cameras more when on vacation. So, I'll take it back, and now I'll have two cameras. I like the D5100 and still think it's an amazing camera today, especially if you know how to use it.

From my recollection, the differences between the models aren't that significant. In fact, I even think the D5100 might be better in certain aspects, despite having a lower megapixel count. Here are some features where the D5100 excels: 1. Flip-out Screen: The D5100 has a flip-out screen, which is highly beneficial for versatile shooting angles and is especially useful in vlogging or situations where you need to see yourself while shooting. 2. Wider Dynamic Range : With a 6.25% wider dynamic range (13.6 Evs vs 12.8 Evs), the D5100 can capture a greater span of shadows and highlights, which is crucial for high-contrast scenes. 3. Timelapse Function: The D5100's built-in timelapse function is great for creating time-lapse videos without needing additional software or external intervalometers. 4. Built-in HDR Mode: This feature allows the camera to capture images with a higher dynamic range right out of the camera, combining multiple exposures into one HDR image. 5. Higher Pixel Density: At 471 ppi versus 333.2 ppi, the D5100 offers a higher pixel density, which can result in sharper images and better detail when viewing photos at a close range or when cropping. As for the D3300, I haven't really used it enough to determine if it's superior, even though I acquired it a year after its release. Each camera has its strengths, and the best choice often depends on the specific needs and preferences of the photographer.

I have been shooting with a Nikon D5100 for over a year. When I first started using my camera I really struggled with shooting in low light. My low light images were always incredibly dark and super noisy because I never shot above ISO 800. The so called experts screamed never use ISO above 800 or you'll get all kinds of noise. It took a while to figure out that cleaning up noise from a high ISO is a lot easier in Lightroom than fixing low light pictures that are too dark. Now I shoot using auto ISO ranging from ISO 100 to ISO 6400. My images look good even in extreme darkness. I almost forgot to mention that I always shoot low light photos with a 35mm F1.8 prime lens set at f1.8 to f2.8 depending on how dark it is.

It's light as a feather so you can carry this about all day and you won't even know it's on your shoulder.....and some people say they wanted something lighter so they went over to M4/3...???🤔🤔

Thanks for sharing your experiences with the D5100! It's still a super capable camera as you said. Never knew why people wanted to switch to the M4/3 cameras when all you need is this camera and a decent lens to really capture what you need.

I wish i can have that someday

I still own Nikon D5100 with stock 18-55, 35mm 1.8 and tamron 70-300mm macro

I would have it at full auto mode. The D5100's video autofocus is out dated but if it's in automode with face-tracking, that may be your best setting.

Even 80's Camera still good. It is not about the camera, it's the one who use the camera :)

planning to buy d5100 my concert is, is it good in like fast moving subjects? Tia

I have a question! Is there any way to activate live view changes on the LCD screen? It really helps to get everything set perfectly to the shot, without testing it many times until you get the exposure right

I don't think there is. That's one of the downsides of the D5100's live view. Even though I am switching my settings, I don't see those settings change immediately.

I am using the D5100 and I bought it back in 2013, just have less than 10 K on the shutter count. I am kind of satisfied with the camera but I was planning to upgrade it to D5600 but ended up buying a new lens. I have the kit lens 18-55mm,prime 50mm 1.8G and a telephoto 55 to 300mm. Planning to buy a 40mm micro for Macro photography. Just a suggestion, should i upgrade to D5600? I only do photography and dont need it for vloging or videos.

Yes. Usually its your settings. Make sure you have a tripod, make sure your subject is in focus, make sure your shutter speed is at 10-20 seconds depending on how dark the area is and start light painting.

I'd recommend the Sigma 18-35 F/1.8. Excellent for portraits and for landscape. The only downside with that lens is the size and weight of the lens.

I bought the D5100 in 2011 because it looked good and felt good in my hand. But I hardly used it except on a few family occasions. Once in awhile I take it out for a walk and it is in great condition. However, I now want to use it for live streaming and some comments reveal that it has a limited video exposure, that is why it cannot be used for live streaming like some other Nikon models. Is there a way to circumvent this? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

There aren't many adapters available. Your best choice is to sell that Canon version and get the Nikon model. I've heard the autofocus is not reliable with the adapters, especially with the Canon lenses.

It can but you will need a wide lens with fast aperture. The only lens I can think if that is wide enough and will autofocus during video is the Nikon 20mm 1.8G. Unfortunately, that is a very expensive lens.
