The camera is easy to set up and use. It has the right balance of simplicity and adjustiblity.

The P5100 I purchased has performed much better than I had been led to believe in some reviews. As a P&S on auto, it's very competent; but to those who will apply the camera, and its features, it's an amazing piece of work! At high resolutions, I would recommend an extra battery.

This is a great compact digital for the novice and pro alike. The P5100 is extremely user friendly without sacraficing the ability to control the shot. Provides excellent results without the bulk and unlike most compacts, has the capability to expand. The durable magnesium body will accept additional flashes as well as wide angle and telephoto lenses. Unmatched quality and value!

Very nice piece of work from NIKON for both who knows what shutter and aperture are and for those who just points and shoots... I'd rather like to have full control over the equipment. Impressive and helpfull set of predefined settings - portrait, sunset, sunrise, macro and etc... Picture quality is good, very good. Unexpectedly good performance in low light conditions even without speedlight. This camera makes perfect everyday use addition to my D70. Also optional underwater case for this camera and ability to attach regular speedlight convinced me to make this purchase.

Just got the camera and I am shooting everything with it. The really cool thing is that it has manual---very versatile little camera! My next purchase will be a Nikon D40, but I think I'll always carry this little guy with me wherever I go.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P5100 Digital Camera (Black):

The bad news first, there is a significant delay from pressing the trigger button until the shutter fires, like one to two seconds. The camera is small and compact, but offers many control settings that other cameras do not offer in this compact class. The flash is extremely powerful, and the image quality is outstanding. If you want a small camera to carry in your pocket, and you are shooting in a dark room at a shutter speed of 1/250, with a ISO of 150, this is the camera... and the images are excellent! My other camera is a Nikon D300, so I know quality images.

I am a advid photographer witha small studio in my home. I had purchased a motorcycle and wanted to have a good digital camera to carry with me. All my cameras are Nikon and I wouldn't have anything else.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P5100 Digital Camera (Black):

Extremely broad range of features both in still mode as well as movie mode, and yet suprisingly compact. I had been waiting for an affordable digital camera that would finally come close to my previous Nikon film cameras. With a 12 megapixal capability Coolpix P5100 is pretty close. Camera design and controls fairly intuitive and ergonomically funtional.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P5100 Digital Camera (Black):

I've been using this product while traveling, so since it is not as compact as some other cameras, I find it a bit cumbersome. It is not easy to take it out and put it back into the case I bought for it, which is just a general camera case.
The quality of the camera and the photos is very good. The camera is fun to use. The autofocus does not function well in low light.

is an excellent camera I recommend it for those who want to see some excellent shots and sharpness and the most important photos to remember

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P5100 Digital Camera (Black):

The P5100 takes great pictures outdoors, and it offers more control (settings) than any other point-and-shoot camera that I have used. BUT- it's performance in indoor/low light settings is not good at all. Above about ISO 200 things start to look grainy- more so the higher you go.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P5100 Digital Camera (Black):

I am a serious amateur drawing/watercolor artist and use the camera for reference photos. I am extemely satisfied with the color and sharpness of the photos. I have used just about every feature the camera offers and especially like the museum setting. My only complaints are the poor contstruction of the battery compartment door and sometimes the parts get stuck just as I'm ready to get that award winning shot.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P5100 Digital Camera (Black):

I've been a photography enthusiast since I got my first Nikon SLR in the early 80's. For several years though, the portability and convenience of point-and-shoots have made them my cameras of choice. But since I purchased the Coolpix P5100, I've found I can carry it in my pocket and still be creative. My old enthusiasm for photography has been rekindled. The image quality is crisp and true, it's easy to navigate the controls and I love the magnesium body. It's refreshing to see a camera that's built to last. I was aware of the camera's tendency to be slow to focus in low light but I was still surprised at how slow it is. I found that by pre-focusing and keeping the shutter button halfway depressed, I could catch any action I needed. Sure, it takes a little forethought, but in most cases it's not a problem. Also, I wish it had more than a 3.5 optical zoom but I suppose compromises must be made in order to get it into such a small package. Overall, I think the camera is best suited for someone who likes to do more than just "point and shoot". But it will do that too. Very well.

I bought it to use it as a compact camera to put in an underwater housing and I'm really satisfied with the first results. Even though I'll need an external strobe to do the work, it's great. You still need to experience different settings to find which one works best with this camera. Above the water, I didn't really test it.

As a part-time pro photographer I keep this little camera on my belt for all those times when larger gear isn't at hand. Color rendition is excellent and exposure ir right on most of the time. 12mb gives large blow-ups. I haven't tried it at high ISO but up through 400 it is clean. Fully manual exposure on a camera like this is a welcome option and easy to access without going into menus to set it.
RAW file would give it the 5th star, as well as a wider zoom range, but for nearly twice the price you can get that with the P6000. Altogether it's a bargain!

I did not think there was a digital camera out there that could convince me that it would equal and even surpass film. Sadly, this one did it. I say sadly because I'm really going to miss it. I have had four digital cameras prior to this one, and the most exquisite photographes that I took of my grandchildren, I took with this Nikon P5100.

Great display. Fast recovery and review of shots. Good zoom capability. Lightweight and feels good in the hand. Software is easy to load and use.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P5100 Digital Camera (Black):

Great travel camera; easy to use; very sharp lens; very good accessories. Instruction book is easy to understand. Very well built camera. Great to have a viewfinder on this camera. Shutter lag time is average.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix P5100 Digital Camera (Black):

This little camera has a ton of features to rival allot of Digital SLR's. Easy to use out of the box if you already own a Nikon SLR. Menu features are similar. Images are very nice, with many JPG options to choose from. This model does not shoot raw. Fits great in your hand. 12.1 megapixels, so you can blow up those pics if you shoot in the fine and larger JPG settings. Has a Hot shoe so I can use my SB 600 NIKON Flash. On screen displays while you are shooting are very helpful. The only gripe I have is it is slow writing images to memory, making you wait a few seconds to take the next picture. Helps to use a faster card. Most professional reviews you read on this camera are pretty accurate. Probably too complicated for the casual photo bug.
