Sometimes when you’re out and about taking live action footage you wish you had a camera that will stay in focus as you pan. Well now there is such a camera; Nikon’s D5100. It has an Autofocus power which really works so when you want to catch that surfer riding the wave or your child sprinting to the finish line at the school races, the D5100 will keep your tracking shot nice and sharp. There’s also an impressive array of Special Effects, the LCD monitor is a spacious 3”, and the Selective Color mode is great for isolating colors within a scene. The split-second shutter response is also first-rate. The 16.2 megapixel resolution gives you great image quality.

Nikon's D5100 Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) has a galaxy of professional features not commonly found in a consumer digital camera. A high-resolution 16.2MP DX-format CMOS sensor and an EXPEED 2 image processing engine guarantee superb quality and high performance. The 3.0" vari-angle tilting LCD monitor allows you full freedom in composition with sparkling 921 000-dot resolution. Full 1920 x 1080p video with full-time autofocus (for tracking subjects in motion) and stereo sound (using an optional microphone) is always available with in-camera editing and creative controls to activate your inner movie director. The Effects mode provides a dazzling array of special effects for putting your individual stamp on all of your images--still photos or video. Selective Color  for instance  isolates any color within a scene  and Night Vision captures details in places too dark for your own eyes. High Key effect will create bright  glowing images filled with atmosphere and mystery  or you can emphasize the mood of a scene using Low Key  or try out Miniature Effect--which produces a scene that looks like a miniature scale model. With sensitivity ranging from 100 to 6400 ISO  you'll be able to make photos and videos that are amazingly rich  even in low light. In-camera HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode will tame high contrast situations by automatically capturing multiple exposures of the scene and combining them for vastly improved contrast and low noise. A blazing fast 11-point autofocus system and split-second shutter response mean that you won't miss photo opportunities waiting for your camera to catch up. The built-in speedlight has i-TTL for accurate  well-balanced flash every time. With the Scene Recognition system  420-pixel RGB 3D Color Matrix Metering II  16 automatic exposure scene modes  and Active D-Lighting  your control over your photos and movies will be more precise and simple to carry out than Read Less
