[QUOTE="Lappers, post: 179198, member: 15783"] Both taken with Nikkor 18-200, the Ferret at 42mm, 1/500s & the bike at 32mm, 1/250s , both at f5.6 It has to be said I bought the camera because of its specification - what an array of options at your disposal - i just get the feeling that Nikon have tried too hard and output from their assembly plants vary somewhat. It is obvious that there are those who love the D5100 and those that wish they hadn't spent their money on one. I mistakenly thought I would have the best of both worlds - the spec promises ease of point & shoot for 'snapshots' and the tools to be more creative when I had the luxury of time to create shots with the 'wow-factor' - only I don't trust the camera to deliver what it promised. Maybe I'm being unfair in comparing the D5100 to my old (film) Pentax SLR but youd have thought the D5100 is aimed more at the newcomer to the DSLR scene and would be a little more forgiving in its delivery - It seems every shot is ahard work or a gamble on the outcome. It has to be said there are some stunning shots in the Forum's D5100 best shots gallery so the camera cannot be all bad. [/QUOTE]
