I've used both products, and also own D5100, so I guess the review will be useful for many!

Why you should go for Canon 550D?
1. Well well, street price is lower, you can actually buy some low end camera with that difference..
2. Built-in focus motor.. This is most important reason why you should go for 550D than D5100. It will save your hell lot of money on your further lens purchases.. You will not need to go for lenses with built-in auto-focus motor, which are much more costly.
3. More me...

I ordered the Nikon D5100 DSLR from Flipkart on the 1st of Nov'12 and received it within 48 hrs of placing the order, on the 3rd Nov'12 at my door step. Thanks Flipkart.com for the super fast delivery of the product in good condition.

Nikon D5100 DSLR, is placed between Entry level and Pro level DSLR cameras from Nikon. Precisely between D3100 and D7000. Before zeroing on the D5100 I did my own research about Nikon and Canon. Since Nikon and Canon are the leading brands in Camera Optics, it ...

Like you, even i was confused... Nikon D5100 or Canon 600D? I had spend months trying to decide the same. And whenever i was about to decide on one, the thoughts of other came and haunted me :/ On top of those, the reviews and 'expert' advises of friends... My situation was hopeless :) But on 24th July 2013, i declared an end to the war!

Yes, i had a bias towards Nikon. But that was not the only reason for selecting Nikon... Since i had gone through the pain and torture of this selection pro...

Hi,
this is an ongoing war between two market leaders in DSLR segment. but if you are looking for serious (as mentioned by Harikrshna) then I would strongly recommend go with Nikon while considering following points.

This will give you an idea that Nikon D5100 has best entry level fully loaded camera for serious aspiring photographe...

Big thanks to Flipkart and WS Retail for quick delivery! 48 hours from order to receipt! Packaging was good, as always.

I am very satisfied with my Nikon D5100 + 35mm f/1.8, would recommend both wholeheartedly to anybody considering a DSLR.

My review is to help others buying their first DSLR make a decision. Firstly, all DSLRs take excellent photos and videos too. I believe that no one brand is MUCH better than the others

1. Budget: Whatever your budget, buy at least one good lens to su...

I bought this camera a few weeks ago and am still learning to use all its features. Even though it is too early for me to write a review, I would like to point out certain things which led me to chose the D5100 over the Canon EOS 600D. My friend has a 600D, So I have used both these cameras. I am a Canon fan. So it was not easy for me to chose Nikon over Canon. This is an excellent camera.
This is my first ever DSLR. I basically love to take pictures and videos. I have a bridge camera which ...

Nikon's D5100 exceeds expectations, performance by the brilliant CMOS sensor found on the larger and more expensive D7000, the Nikon D5100 is the ideal DSLR for those who are serious about quality pictures and plan on using the camera long term at an affordable budget.
The Nikon D5100 takes low light photography to a level that competing DSLR'S desperately try to reach. Full HD 1080p recording and full time auto focus, with the option of an external mic input, the D5100 might very well replac...

I'm not a professional Camera person, just a click-mate. Purchasing your first DSLR camera can be a hectic exercise to your fingers and eyes & Yes ! more amount of internet data usage. Reviewing lots of videos on You tube, lots of links for different comparisons between Nikon and Canon needs to be done.

Nikon and Canon are more like the opposite faces of a sword, Similarly Sharp & Shiny. Go for whatever you want. Don't take a brand for granted, nothing is perfect though.

I chose D5100 bec...

Hi , I upgraded my camera from Fuji Fine Pix 2000 HD to DSLR after doing lot of research, I was about to take the Nikon D3100 as I can not afford the D7000 but this camera is you can say having most quality that D7000 is offering. I am happy to buy this & Having no complained till date. But for new user I would say take this machine only when you have the passion of the camera as it requires lot of care.

For complete utilization of this camera, you will have to take one 70 mm to 300 mm lense...

Flipkart is ditching its customers by bringing in this "SELLERS" concept.
