D5100: does Nikon finally have a contender?
http://press.nikonusa.com/wp-content...ease-FINAL.pdf
Could this be a serious attempt from Nikon. Over and above the D7000, this model includes: * 1080p @ 25/30 fps (previous model was only 24) * articulated screen * released alongside ME-1 micorphone "To address the needs of the ever growing community of shooters abandoning their video cameras for the versatility of a D-SLR" *** EDIT *** Bad news, just found the maximum 18mbps bit rate here: Nikon | Imaging Products | New Perspectives - Nikon D5100 Last edited by Josh Dahlberg; April 5th, 2011 at 04:43 AM. |

Re: D5100: does Nikon finally have a contender?
Yep, just read about this on engadget (lots and lots of pics too). It certainly sounds very promising/very good feature set. The stereo mic looks tiny - and at £120 it could be good for one of my small camcorders too! Both camera and mic "expected in stores by 21st April" - not too far away so I guess we'll see soon enough!

Re: D5100: does Nikon finally have a contender?
It comes down to four things:
Manual controls Aliasing Resolution What comes out of the HDMI port It seems like these issue are still very much open ?'s. I do hope Nikon makes good progress on all these fronts.
