Nikon D5100 announced and previewed

Nikon D5100 announced and previewed | Photography Gear News | Scoop.it
Nikon has unveiled the D5100 upper-entry-level DSLR and we've prepared a full preview of the camera, detailing its features. Sitting above the D3100, it includes a 16.2 MP CMOS sensor much like that in the D7000, 1080p movie capability and a side-articulated 921K dot 3.0" tilt/swivel LCD. The D5100 also becomes the first Nikon DSLR to be able to apply special processing filters to stills and video. The company has also introduced the ME-1 external microphone. The camera will be available from this month as a kit with the 18-55mm VR lens for $899.95 while the microphone will retail at $179.99. We've had a production-spec sample of the camera, so have shot our standard test scene and some real-world samples to accompany our preview.

Some of you have already noticed the microphone-like object on the Nikon D5100 box. You were right – with the D5100, Nikon will announce a new external unidirectional stereo microphone ME-1. The price should be around 140 Euros.
