    Very Good Mid-Level Camera
    4
    Posted by: from Pittsburgh Pa on 05/14/2013Stepped up from the P5OO point and shoot camera to the 5100 and jumped over the 3100 model for a little more money. This was a smart move and am very happy, My first DSL and also picked up the 300mm lens. I also jumped over the 200mm lens. Love the camera, Lots to learn, Lots to read, Lots to watch online. I used the camera in auto mode the first several times I took it out to shoot, Now I am using it in manual and all different shooting modes. Very little difference between the 5100 and 5200 other then the price. Would have loved to be the owner of a 5200, but for 300.00 more . . . . NO.

    Posted by: from CT on 05/12/2013This is our first DSLR and I have to say, pulling it out of the box it takes amazing pics in auto mode. If you can send an Email, you can take great shots. If you ever want to get out of AUTO mode it will take some time and patience learning how to speak "Photographer". Great HD video too. I would absolutely recommend this camera for anyone wanting great pictures that won't mind the time it takes to learn how to "Go Manual Mode" Save some room in the budget for accessories (Bag, Lenses, Lens filters, memory card... etc) Enjoy!!!

    Posted by: from Ottawa, Ohio on 05/10/2013I personally love this camera it is somewhat easy to use even if you don't know exactly what your doing (like me). It's a good step up from the last camera I had. I do like some of the features like miniature mood and selective color.
