Black Friday Nikon D5100 16.2MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens Sale 2011 Lowest Price!

If you love photography yet you do not have enough money to buy an expensive high-end camera, then the Nikon D5100 SLR might just be the perfect camera for you. This camera combines the user-friendliness of the entry-level D3100, and the superior 16.2MP sensor of the upper mid-level D7000. Additionally, the D5100 has several other interesting features to offer. Despite all these features, the camera is surprisingly affordable in comparison to D7000. It’s no wonder why the Nikon D5100 SLR has garnered so many positive reviews both from critics and users.

As mentioned previously, the D5100 is equipped with a 16.2MP CMOS sensor. This sensor is combined with the latest EXPEED 2 image processing engine to deliver outstanding image quality. The sensor also comes with an astonishingly wide ISO range (ISO 100 to 6400) with reduced noise. This means that pictures will be less blurry even when you shoot at faster shutter speeds.

The Nikon D5100 SLR also comes with a super sharp 3.0 inch 921,000-dot Vari-angle LCD monitor for versatile viewing and playback. This is something that the D7000 does not have. The monitor also allows you to take pictures from any angle or point of view. Taking self portraits or overhead shots is a cinch with this camera.

The D5100 is the first Nikon DSLR to feature the High Dynamic Range (HDR) mode. This mode will automatically capture two shots of one object, one underexposed and one overexposed, and create a highly-detailed image with less noise and richer color gradation.

Who says DSLR photography isn’t fun? The D5100 Nikon is also equipped with an Effects mode that lets you add cool special effects to your pictures. These effects can even be used when you are recording a video. The High Key creates beautiful overexposed pictures, while the Low Key will accentuate highlights to create a somber mood. The very cool Miniature Effect makes an object look like a miniature scale model. Using the Selective Color, all colors other than the ones you want to emphasize will be recorded or shot in black and white.

The D5100 is capable of recording high quality full HD 1080p movie. Its autofocus will make sure that your object is crystal clear all the time. Although the camera is equipped with a built-in microphone, you can get an optional Nikon ME-1 Stereo Microphone to record stereo sound.

You must be thinking, with all these fascinating features, the camera must surely come with a very high price tag. Well, you’re wrong. You can get the Nikon D5100 SLR for as low as 0. This is truly a bargain considering the D7000 comes with a 00 price tag.
