A sneak peak inside the Nikon D5100 [photos]Nikon’s latest dSLR, the D5100, has only been available in the US for a little over a week, but that’s not stopping the team at ifixit.com from doing a complete disassembly. If you wanted to see the nuts and bolts behind this entry-level dSLR, we hope you’ve worked up an appetite because we have a full serving of images.

The Nikon D5100 fits nicely between the D3100 and D7000. With a handsome feature set, articulating display and an EXPEED2 imagine processing engine, this 16.2 megapixel CMOS sensor packing dSLR is a beauty. If you’re hoping to do your own teardown on a D5100, the site advises that you’ll need to remove “roughly 4 billion screws”.

If that’s not enough to deter your efforts, go ahead and give it a go. You’ll need a set of tweezers, Phillips #00 screwdrivers, plastic opening tools and a soldering iron to make it happen.
