And it has the 11 point AF system, with one cross type sensor, like the D3100.Ĭanon Rebel T3i on left, Nikon D5100 on rightįirst, a Comparison of the Nikon D5100 vs. The D5100 now has in-camera processing filters like those of the 60D and T3i (including miniature, high or low key, and selective color in the Nikon). The D5100 shoots 4 frames per second, faster than the 3 fps of the D3100, and of course has 1080p HD video with all the frame rate options.

Nikon D5100 – photo by author – copyright 2011 – please do not use without permission! (see my post comparing several of the latest Canon dSLR cameras here, and one comparing the Nikons here.) The D5100 boasts a 16 megapixel sensor (like the D7000), and a swivel screen more like the one on the Canon T3i and 60D, attached at the left side, rather than the less convenient bottom swivel of the previous D5000. It sits just above the D3100 in the Nikon consumer offerings, and a bit below the D90 and D7000 – both sturdier and more sophisticated cameras.

The latest addition to the Nikon dSLR line-up is the versatile Nikon D5100, which replaces the D5000.
