Nikon D5100

Nikon’s latest DSLR offering has just arrived at my door.
The D5100 is the latest in a long line of camera offering video shooting capability, but this time with a wider range of frame sizes and frames rates. So I can now shoot 1080p25 to match footage from my main camera: the Sony EX1.

Now I’m not going to say a DSLR can match the EX1 in terms of handling, reliability and features, but they produce pictures with a shallow depth of field which when used in the right way can add value to parts of a production.
