The Nikon D5100 and its included AF-S 18-55mm VR lens offer a host of new photographic and video tools including a 16.2 MP DX-format CMOS sensor, 4 fps continuous shooting and breathtaking Full 1080p HD Movies with full time autofocus.
The 16.2 megapixel camera with a 1.5x crop factor has a 3-inch swiveling LCD screen, 4fps continuous shooting, an ISO range from 100 to 6400 (which you can boost to 25600), 1080p video recording at 30fps, and built in sensor cleaning.
In addition to these standard features, Nikon also decided to bake some fun features into the camera for those jumping into the DSLR game — the camera has a number of effects modes that users can play with, including Selective Color, Night Vision (the equivalent of ISO 102400), and Miniature Effect (provides a tilt-shift effect).
