Nikon D5100 Digital SLR (Body Only)

Aimed directly at Canon's very popular Rebel T3i DSLR, the D5100 is a fully featured lightweight DSLR loaded to the gills with some prime features. Using an all-new 16mp Cmos sensor similar to the one used in the "enthusiasts" D7000, the D5100 is capable of incredible image quality and extremely low noise at high ISO's.

A new 3" high resolution LCD screen is fully articulated aiding in easy composition for still shooting or while shooting 1080i full high definition video (up from 720i on the D5000.) An 11-point precise AF system and continuous shooting speed of 4.5fps also help keep the camera feeling responsive. The menu system is easy to use offering quick access to basic functions and full manual control for the experienced user.
