About

The Nikon D5100 is smaller and lighter than the D5000. Nikon has increased from a 2.7 inch display to a nice 3 inch. The Nikon D5100 DSLR shares the same sensor as the Nikon D7000 and also includes a built in HDR mode. This deal also includes the 18-55mm G VR DX AF-S Zoom Lens (a $200 value).

The Zoom lens features a Silent Wave Motor and a Vibration Reduction mode. The closest focusing distance through the zooming range is 0.9 foot (0.28meters). The Nikon D5100 Digital SLR Camera + 18-55mm G VR DX AF-S Zoom Lens is best for consumers who are looking for a DSLR for taking great quality photos without having to pay for the extra bells and whistles.
