Nikon D5100: a synthesis apparatus

Positioned between the D3100 and D7000, the D5100 on which Nikon unveils today achieves a perfect synthesis of the two cases. It takes from one to the other elements, the frame here, there, the screen, the Nikon d40x battery, the AF .... Nikon realizes economies of scale and development of its components. We take advantage of: the Nikon D5100 is 100 euros cheaper than the Canon EOS 600D, its competitor front.

What he borrows from the D3100

The D3100, the D7000 includes the compact frame and polycarbonate finish, lightweight, with rubber sheathing where needed as the thumb rest. Nikon d60 battery on the D7000 goes by the wayside in favor of compactness of the ilk that of D3100. It also takes 11-point autofocus of D3100, an AF "full time" in video and 3D tracking with a moving subject. Nikon claims to have made ​​progress and the development of D5100 in LiveView and video recording will be 40% faster than on the D3100 (see our review of the Nikon D3100). The viewfinder is also pentamirror that of D3100, with a coverage of 95% of the cropped image only.

What he borrows from the D7000

If the envelope is mainly inspired D5100 D3100, the engine is directly derived from photographic D7000 since, and is the main good news in this case, we find the Nikon d700 battery to the D7000. This sensor is so far the best APS-C market, and its performance level (sensitivity up to ISO 6400, ISO 25600 in enhanced mode, exposure dynamics ...) is of the caliber of full frame sensors . In his time, the D5000 had taken the excellent sensor of D90. The EXPEED processor is at work here and it is reasonable to expect a picture quality equivalent to that of D7000 treatment even if JPEG support is certainly more than the D7000, segment amateur forced to please a public that appreciates photos "shimmering" without editing.

Creative Filters

The user of the Nikon d200 battery will still the chance to play with his photos: the menu is editing the part with the presence of many creative filters some of which are editable. For example, in thumbnail mode, this gives a model made to photos, the choice of the depth of field is left to the discretion of the user. These digital filters are also available on video. The only limitation is the slowing pace of the video, which will increase to 10 fps when the effects calculations require too great. Rendering effects are displayed directly in LiveView mode and video.

Video

Thanks to the sensor virtuous was chosen for this reflex, the D5100 can record video in Full HD and Nikon launches production rates of 25p and 30p in addition to the usual 24p. 1080/30p videos are encoded in H.264 and recorded. Mov. The sound of the internal microphone is mono, but, unlike the D3100, it is possible here to connect external stereo microphone. It is great! The announcement of the D5100 is accompanied by that of a small external microphone, the ME-1, which will be sold between 129 and 139 euros TTC in France. You can find more information about the Nikon d300 battery here. The switch that allowed to pass from the reflex in LiveView mode, video recording with video button in the center on the D3100 and D7000 disappears.

Yet we had vowed not to let it go a great idea .... But the spirit is preserved since a switch has been kept on top of the box, and the red of the launch video is housed alongside the trigger. As D3100 and D7000 on, if you can not change the aperture when shooting, as if we had an aperture priority mode, we can still stall the opening mode photo reflex and then switch in Live View shooting with the opening and selected before.
