D5100 - A Look On The Success Of Nikon D5100 DSLR Camera
Designed to ship in just over two weeks and positioned to beat Canon's EOS-600D, Nikon's new Nikon D5100 price take over the D5000 position and benefits from various improvements and enhancements, including being 10% lighter.
The Nikon D5000 DSLR entry level camera finally has its successor today – D5100 DSLR camera. Two years after the announcement of D5100 Nikon, the Nikon D5100 DSLR camera brings much advanced technology for entry level DSLR camera group.
The Nikon 5100 provides 16.2MP CMOS sensor (which should be the similar sensor as the Nikon D7000 DSLR camera).
The LCD display is now 3 inches 921k screen. Although the AF system of D5100 is similar with D5000, the D5100 Nikon has enhanced ISO range 100 to 25600 with Nikon’s new sensor and EXPEED 2 processing.
The D5100 Nikon even reveals ISO 102,400 under Night Vision option for photographers shooting in a totally low light environment.
The D5100 Nikon also has an Effects shooting mode. The mode has effects such as Selective Color, Color Sketch, and Miniature effects. The mode can be applied on both photos and videos. Here is another way for users expanding their creativity.
Other features include in-camera HDR editing option, 1080p HD video recording up to 30 fps with its full time autofocus (AF-F). It is worth to mention the D5100 now provides a stereo mic input. Nikon also releases a new ME-1 stereo mic for this input. The AF-F system’s usability will be an interesting point to look at.
There are news mentioning the Nikon D5100 DSLR camera may have shortage issue since 10% of parts used in Nikon D5100 sourced from Japanese contractors. Whether the supply of Nikon D5100 will be impacted from the earthquake and tsunami or not, it is another concern of Nikon and people willing to buy the Nikon D5100 DSLR camera.
Line input versus Instrument input?
I have a Tascam Us- 800. The 2 front inputs are XLR/TRS combo mic/instrument. The 4 back inputs are the same however they are mic/line. I plugged in a guitar into the front inputs (mic/instrument) and the audio was picked up by Mixcraft. But when I plugged a guitar into the back input (mic/line) the sound was picked up by the interface completely but not Mixcraft. How come there was no signal being picked up in Mixcraft? What exactly are line inputs and what are they for? How do they differ from instrument inputs?
Actually, the 2 front inputs are XLR/TS. As XLR connectors they are balanced ; As TS (tip-sleeve) connectors they are unbalanced. When plugging in a guitar (unbalanced) you have to use one of these inputs.
The back inputs are not the same! They are XLR/TRS connectors. As XLR connectors they are balanced like the front connectors ; They are also balanced as TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) connectors so you can't just plug a mono phone jack into these without some specific reason (and I can't think of one right now). You won't blow anything up but things will not work as you might expect.
The term "line" or "line level" refers (in a very general sense) to the amplitude of the audio signal. Line-level audio signals are like preamp and MP3 signal outputs. You would probably hear something if you connected headphones to a line-level output.
The amplitude of the audio signal from an electric guitar or most, basic microphones is less (and this will make sense to you when you think that there's no type of power supply, like a battery, involved). You won't hear a darn thing if you plug headphones directly into a guitar. Or, you could pretend that you do to goof on your friends.
