What does Body Only mean on a Nikon D5100?
I'm currently interested in buying a camera from Nikon.
I'm looking at a Nikon D5100 Body Only.
Except for I don't know what the "Body Only" part means.
Body Only means no kit lens included. Just the bare camera.
You'd have to purchase lens separately.
It means the camera does not come with a lens. You would have to purchase a lens separately.
Lens NOT included.
Body Only basically means that someone just needs the Body of the Camera itself because of either already have the Lenses or getting a completely different Lens other than what's actually physically in the Kit.
When it says "Body Only" it means there's no lens with the camera. Since the camera is useless without a lens you'll have to buy a lens. Usually, its cheaper - and better - to just buy the camera and lens as a kit. $799.95 w/18-55mm zoom lens at B&H - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/...ovideo.com
