The big story!

After much deliberations the Nikon D5100 comes home!

The Pixar aka Pixies!




















So what was the intricacy all about? 
Was it about the money? No, it certainly wasn't! 
Permission? Nopes, were arranged well in advance! 
Confused which one to get? Yes, precisely!

Although the D5100 was a beloved choice since the day I decided to upgrade to a DSLR, recent floods in Thailand condensed the market supply of all Nikon products and the neonate was not available anywhere! Thus, attention swayed towards Canon 600D!

The Canon 600D (or T3i) is a wonderful device, packed with some gratifying features and has been tested and approved by professional photographers. But what won for D5100 is its overall multimedia capabilities like in-camera HDR, selective colour photography et ol. However Canon is in no way an inferior device and for people who are serious about photography might just pick 600D over its Nikon counterpart. Its basically a heart over mind matter; mind says Canon, heart says Nikon! :)

That's Sarcasm in its purest form! 















Nonetheless, my heart overpowered my mind, my patience and my limited savings and I eventually fell for my Pixie (yeah, that's what we are gonna call him :D). Ordered one in the last week of January and voila, its here! :) 

The camera feels good in hand, is easy to operate and comes up with surprisingly candid photos even in Auto mode. The D5100 came with a standard 18-55 mm Nikkor lens, which will be put to work for a couple of months before buying additional lenses. Expect some more dump here in the coming weeks! :)
