Nikon D5100
 introduced the new 16.2-megapixel Nikon D5100 Digital SLR camera 
designed for those ready to artistically express themselves and need a 
versatile SLR camera that can keep pace creatively. The Nikon D5100 SLR 
camera houses a host of new and innovative features aimed at giving 
digital photographers the tools to shatter creative constraints and tell
 stories with amazing photo quality and stunning HD videos. The new 
Nikon D5100 Digital SLR camera includes features designed to enhance the
 shooting experience, including an new 3 inch, sharp and clear 921,000 
dot Vari-angle LCD screen and full HD (1080p) movie recording with 
full-time auto focus.
 D5100 is equipped with the same DX-format CMOS image sensor and EXPEED 2
 image-processing engine as the high-end D7000 digital-SLR camera. These
 features enable capture of high-resolution images with excellent 
expression of tones. With standard sensitivity settings of ISO 100 - 
6400 and additional increases up to Hi 2 (ISO 25600 equivalent), the 
camera offers improved capability with shooting under dim lighting, such
 as in the evening or indoors, and also produces better results with 
capture of rapidly moving subjects.
 High Dynamic Range (HDR) function captures two shots of varying 
exposure each time the shutter-release button is pressed, and then 
combines the two shots into a single image with a broad dynamic range. 
Resulting images beautifully recreate the scene as seen with the naked 
eye, even with shooting of backlit scenes, with little or no loss of 
detail in shadows or highlights.
