    Accessories for D5100 view finder extension in particular

    My D5100 finally arrived a few days ago and i have had so much fun with it. In the first 20 minutes of having the camera i had to make a homemade pop-up flash diffuser from a film container. I am now finding that when looking through the view finder my nose touches the lcd screen and its...

    Thinking of buying this camera?

    I know it would be alot cheaper, however I can't seem to find many second hand bodies for the d5100, from sellers I know are reputable

    On tripod = VR off

    I'm a complete novice in the sense I don't even have a dslr yet, however, this video and the document attached did help me understand when I need VR or IS, and when I don't and all it's pros and cons http://artoftheimage.blogspot.co.uk/2011/04/rules-for-using-nikon-vr-or-canon-is-or.html

    Thinking of buying this camera?

    or my other option from this: Nikon D5100 + 18-105mm VR for £585. would be to buy the D5100 body only (with 3 years warranty) from here: Nikon D5100 Body Only and get this lens: Used Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6g ED VR/ for a total of £570 (not including the shipping) So if i include the shipping...

    Thinking of buying this camera?

    I read some online reviews and watched some review videos on the 18mm-105mm lens..the main problem with it I have read about is the distortion of the picture at either end of the zoom scale, but it seems everyone disregards this as it is easily correctable through editing software (i have...

    Thinking of buying this camera?

    I have looked into the second hand cameras, but being a complete novice with dslr's aka having never owned one, I would like the safety of a warranty. Maybe a second hand camera in the future when i have more experience. well i dont mind that trade off considering the camera use isnt mainly...

    Thinking of buying this camera?

    I don't think i can stretch my budget to that, my whole budget is everything that was given to me on my birthday. I was actually thinking for going for the D3100 instead as its cheaper and i could get some better lens' or a cannon within a lower price range. However the rotating display on the...

    Thinking of buying this camera?

    I'm also the media sec for my rugby team and often I would like still photos to go with the filming I get people to do for the matches. However this isn't the main priority, a lens for normal photography would do me fine then I could buy a second hand zoom lens later on

    Thinking of buying this camera?

    Thank you for that, I guess that puts a d5100 out of my range. I would like a lens with VR or IS, because I don't intend to use a tripod very often. And I have also read and been told on more than one occasion that the lens is more important than the body, so would a D3100 be that much...

    Thinking of buying this camera?

    I'm still looking to buy my first dslr and after doing alot of reading and online browsing. Everything Im looking for in the camera seems to constantly point me to the Nikon D5100. So I decided to go to a camera shop in town and actually held it in my hand to see if it felt comfortable and the...
