Review based on a production Nikon D5100
The arrival of the D5100 seems to signal the completion of Nikons refresh of its non-pro DSLR lineup. Its feature set and rating mean that it sits terribly well between the beginner-friendly D3100 and therefore the high-end D7000 - it's clearly aimed to draw in the eye of enthusiast photographers while not cannibalizing sales of is sister models. A camera maker will decide the success of its market positioning by seeing what percentage folks square measure curious 'which model is true for me?' on discussion forums - and that we suppose a D3100/D5100/D7000 progression would minimize such doubts. The official line is that the D90 maintains its position within the vary, however each its naming and overlap with alternative models recommend that its role is currently additional one amongst historical interest than future significance.
