Since its my first Nikon, its difficult for me to make comparisons to older Nikon models so instead I’ll look at it from the point of view of an enthusiast looking for an easy to use camera that takes great pictures. I ordered the new D5100 which is my first ever Nikon. This was quite a tough choice as here in Japan both are revered with a vast array of lenses and highly touted performance and quality.

I ended up deciding on Nikon over Canon based on many reviews I have read online about the new Nikon sensors which have superb high ISO performance. Please note this is certainly not reflective of the K-5’s ability to take great pictures, I think I just had some bad luck in getting two lemons. At this point I was frustrated so I sent the K-5 back along with the lenses and decided to move on to another brand.

So I sent the body back and got another one… BUT the second K-5 also had sensor stains. However this was now April and I was not pleased that I was receiving a body with a known problem from over 6 months ago. My K-5 and lenses arrived the next morning after I ordered and I immediately began testing the camera but to my shock the K-5 had noticeable sensor stains, a known Pentax announced late last year. I opted to order a new Pentax K-5 and several of Pentax’s very sexy Limited lenses. To be completely honest with you, Pentax was originally my first choice after doing a ton of research on lenses and picture quality.

I also love trying all kinds of new gadgets so this time around, I thought I would try something new and began looking at Pentax, Canon and Nikon. So I still do consider myself a reasonable newbie to photography albeit an enthusiast newbie with some technical ability. The X100 is a fine camera and excels for street type and artistic photography and has a superb small form factor but for work purposes and shooting Tokyo cityscapes, I struggled a bit with its weaker Macro and fixed focal length (I still do shoot the X100 all the time and it is my travel camera, for me personally it seems to be more of a complimentary camera – I did use it to take all pictures in this post that the D5100 is actually in).Īs I had mentioned before on the blog, the a33 was in fact my first ever DSLR and the Nex-5 I had last summer my first ever interchangeable lens camera. After selling my a33 and all its lenses, I still wanted to have an SLR on hand and this was even after getting the Fuji X100. I thought I would take the opportunity to post some feedback on the new Nikon D5100 I got to replace my Sony SLT-a33.
