Unexpectedly love this camera more than any other!
After borrowing a friend D90 a bunch of times, i knew i wanted my own. After checking out a local camera shop I was torn between the D90 and D5100. I did a lot of research and decided on the D5100 as my camera.
I really liked the D90 everytime i used it, but now after using the D5100 i would never look back. Its easy to use, has a ton of cool features, and the swivel screen LCD display comes in handy more times than you'd ever imagine.

Exceptional camera value for the price range
For the price, this camera is a great value and performer. Granted you can do better, but it costs more. Nice features and effects and really easy to use once you get familiar with it. Menues, controls, tilt/swivel screen are great. Have taken nearly 2000 pictures over the past 6 months, and aside from operator error, the pictures are very good. Bottom line is, this camera makes it easy to take good pictures.

Nikon D5100. This is a must-have camera
My first Nikon digital camera was the d50. While I 've learned to take great photos, I needed something more. Hence, came the D5100. Wow; it can do so much more. I am amazed at its capabilites. On-camera editing, and editing at the turn of any dial. Light handlng-like the D51, and muti-angle viewing. This is a great camera.

Powerhouse of a Camera for the Price.
Bought it for my 15 year old daughter to teach her photography as a hobby. Ex-Canon owner myself (50D), but loved the features of the D5100 in the store. After playing around with it for a while and a few photographs later, I fell in love with it.
Now my daughter enjoys this one, and Im getting the D7000 for myself, the D5100 made me enjoy photography all over again.
Great Product, I highly recommend this Camera.
My Experience: Taken several DSLR courses, and photography was a great part of my job for almost 15 years.
