Great work on the video hack. I would like to suggest some improvements for the d5100 that would make it on par with the d7000 for still photography. The image quality of the d5100 is excellent but the feature set lacks sophistication required by more serious photographers. I am thinking the mods would be easy, just a matter of manipulating the current commands to alter the feature set, or splicing in code from the d7000. The first thing would be some kind of gridlines in the viewfinder.

D5000 had on demand gridlines, d7000 has them, but for some reason, they skipped this crucial feature in the d5200. This is extremely important for low light photography. Supposedly the gridlines in the liveview were supposed to alleviate the need in the viewfinder, but there is a fatal flaw in that approach. Liveview is not capable of displaying a dark scene, all you see is blackness, so there is nothing to align the LCD gridlines to. The viewfinder illuminates the scene well at night, so the gridlines in the viewfinder make more sense than LCD screen, especially because you don’t need grid lines to align a scene to the frame when there is plenty of light any way. And in a bizarre twist of fate nikon made the black marks around the focus points almost invisible on the d5100 so you cant even try and use those to eek out a level image.

If there is a hardware limitation that prevents the standard illuminated nikon gridlines to be displayed in the d5100 viewfinder, could some other kind of lights be displayed in the viewfinder to create some straight lines? Perhaps even a setting that would turn on all of the existing autofocus points simultaneously to create a crosshair to align the image to? Also, the menu surfing for accessing the ISO is kind of annoying in the d5100. I noticed the zoom button does not do anything unless one is in display or live view. Cambridge silicon radio bluetooth driver windows 7 x64 iso. Perhaps that button could be pressed once as a short cut to the iso setting, and the thumbdial could be used to SCROLL through the isos, and when correct iso is reached, zoom button could be pressed again to set new iso value. That would be much quicker and easier than the current architecture. The only thing preventing the d5100 from being a very affordable solution for still photography is the IQ.

In fact it’s articulating screen would give serious photographers a creative edge when composing with the d5100 that even d7000 owners don’t have. One other aspect of the d5100 people find annoying for tripod work and or for exposure bracketing, one must press the FN button EVERY SHOT to set the camera in to timer mode. Usually if one is in timer mode, they want to STAY in timer mode. Like for the entire rest of the the night. So pressing that ackward button between every single exposure is extremely annoying. I know there are many people who would love to see some firmware mods to improve the d5100 as a still photography camera.
