When you check out the back, you’ll see one of the biggest changes, vis a vis the D5000. Whether you think the Color Sketch choice is art or trash is ultimately your call, but we found them fun in a warped way. Here you have five filters that add an “artistic” touch to your photos.

The mode dial is pretty straightforward with auto, PSAM, flash off, scene (11 options) plus five popular scene modes (portrait, landscape, kids, sports and macro) you can access directly.
Clustered behind the angled shutter are three buttons: red-dot for video, Information (I) to quickly check your settings, and exposure compensation. Next to it is a lever to engage Live View for framing images through the LCD screen and to prep the camera for shooting video. On the top is a five-pinhole speaker, hot shoe, auto pop-up flash and the critical mode dial. You’ll also see the red Nikon swoosh logo and some low-key text. Also on the front is an AF Assist lamp, remote sensor in the grip, mono mic for the HD videos, and lens release button. Naturally, this DSLR has a Nikon F bayonet lens mount it works best with AF-S glass, and there are 44 lenses to choose from. The real changes are inside and on the back. The D5100 looks very much like the 12.3-megapixel D5000 it replaced, leaving few surprises for camera geeks. That one sets you back $1,199 without a lens, so it’s really in another league. Forget the hefty magnesium-alloy frames found on more enthusiast-oriented models like the 24.3-ounce (body only) 16.2-megapixel Nikon D7000, one of our favorite new cameras. Although the D5100 is large (5 x 3.8 x 3.1, W x H x D, in inches) and weighs 19.7 ounces for the body alone, the camera has a bit of a plastic feel.

It’s big and bulky thanks primarily to the lens mount and mirror assembly (that’s why mirror-less cameras like the Olympus PEN and Sony NEX series are so cute and cuddly). The 16.2-megapixel Nikon D5100 has the classic look of almost all sub-$1,000 DSLRs. The company is practically selling all they make, but we finally got our hands on one of the biggest sellers. There’s no question the economy is tough, but it’s hardly curtailing the lust for DSLRs-especially the newest Nikons.
