Product details

Offering masses of scope for creative expression, the Nikon D5100 Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm VR Zoom Lens makes a fantastic choice of upgrade from either an entry-level DSLR or a compact camera.

Take professional standard photos

You'll marvel at the image quality achievable with this 16.2 mp camera, with Nikon's EXPEED processing ensuring pictures of stunning clarity as well as delivering a responsive camera performance.

Regardless of your level of experience, you'll just love using the Nikon D5100. The generous 3" vari-angle LCD monitor makes it a joy to review your pictures, and in Live View mode you'll find the flip-out screen enables you to frame up otherwise impossible pictures! With an impressive 921k dot resolution, the LCD displays your photos in needle-sharp detail.

With the D5100 Digital SLR Camera you'll have all the creative control you want too, whether you're looking for point and shoot simplicity or full manual command of camera settings. Other useful D5100 features include HDR imaging to help you extract detail from challenging high-contrast scenes, and a dual integrated dust-reduction system that helps keep your photos free of annoying blemishes.

Take full creative control

On top of all of these superb stills photography capability is the D5100's ability to shoot Full HD 1080p video with full-time autofocus and manual exposure control. The accompanying mono sound can be upgraded if required by investing in Nikon's Stereo Microphone ME-1.

The lens offered in this kit, the 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G AF-S VR DX NIKKOR, has a 35mm equivalent focal length of 27 to 82.5mm. This makes it a great walkabout lens, capable of capturing anything from a beautiful vista to a close-up portrait. Its built-in VR image stabilisation allows an extra 3 stops of handheld shooting in low light conditions.

Get yourself a memory card

It is important to have the right memory card for your camera. The memory card will determine how fast an image is saved and how fast an image is uploaded.

If you're shooting high definition videos along with high resolution images then it's best to invest in a high performance memory card. A high performance memory card will get the best out of your photography, ensuring the best continuous shooting speed and high quality data capture.

What's more, we range a variety of camera cases that will protect and help keep your gear organised on photography journeys.

Take your photography to a whole new level with the remarkable Nikon D5100 Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm VR Zoom Lens!
