what's up guys it's Lou from unbox therapy comm and today we're taking a look at the nikon d50 100 this is still a pretty new camera from Nikon and we actually got a SanDisk 16 gigabyte card included as part of a promo on going over at Best Buy so because it's the kit we're going to get the 18 to 55 millimeter VR kit lens it's nothing to write home about but it's apparently pretty sharp for a kit lens and for the little bit of added expense along with the extra SD card you might as well take it so first things first we got the Nikon warranty then we got a boatload of paperwork over here it's going to be your Quick Start Guide and a bunch of manuals probably in way too many different languages at least for me that is and next we've got our accessory box and here is the main prize the main attraction the body of the D 5100 itself so let's get that box out of the way here's the lens it's the 18 to 55 like I mentioned now my experience with kit lenses is that you know you sort of get what you pay for they're not going to be super Pro glass by any means but they're going to get the job done so along with the lens we're going to get some more paperwork a warranty for the lens itself as well as a manual believe it or not which is kind of crazy because it's just a lens but then again now with VR and all the rest of it I suppose they're a little bit more technical than they once were or maybe not depending on how you're looking at it because manual lenses were tough to use anyways we got our Nikon strap bog-standard I'm sure every human being on the planet seen one of those before next we've got our AV cable and a little eyepiece cover I suppose if you're going to be storing a camera for a while we have our data cable in case you don't want to use an SD card reader or maybe you don't have one anyway standard USB no big deal next we've got the battery which is the en el 14 and unfortunately if you've got older batteries from say addy 5000 they're not going to work on this new camera here's the battery charger super slim got the flip out prongs got to love it anyway this is what we all came for the d50 100 body and I got to say it's small its small and light actually I've used a number of different digital SLRs and they seem to keep getting smaller there's that twist the flippy screen that everybody wants it's all the rage right now you can take pictures of yourself or hey you could take video of yourself yeah it doesn't matter but it feels good in the hand you know you got your wheel on the backside you don't get a wheel on the front side you got to step up to a bigger camera in order to get that so you'll have to hold the modifier button if you want to control shutter speed and f-stop on the fly anyways here is that kit lens I was talking about and again it's not too special it's mostly plastic construction but it's light it's got a versatile focal range what can I say about it so here's that card and I do not want to bore you with the antics involved in getting into this strange containers so anyway there it is it's only a class 4 so it's not super quick but hey it was free don't complain and they gave you 35 free songs on eMusic anybody want that anyway here's a little bit of the setup it's got a brand new screen a shitload more pixels gotta love that and there's a look at the info - as you see it says subject is too dark that's because the cap is on here is our controller wheel on the top side and a better look at the specs of the lens you can see it's variable aperture there's that one wheel we have on the back you'd have a another wheel on the front if you had a bigger body directional pad okay button our trash play button all the rest of the buttons we have our GPS port a mic port HDMI port and of course our data port pop-up flash we've all come to love and of course our SD slot lastly we've got our lens controls for VR and all the rest of it as always guys visit the channel and subscribe so I can keep bringing this sweet content to you
