I bought this as a second camera, something to keep with me when my DSLR is too bulky- from this perspective it is great. I spent a long time deliberating whether to buy a newer compact digital with lots of features, or a more solid quality used one (Canon, Lumix etc). Having played with lots of them and read pretty much every review going, I finally went with the Nikon. The Canons may win on imaging, the Lumix on lenses but the Nikon is the best compromise between price/features/quality. Imaging is generally good as long as you stay off using ISO400+; menus are easy to use and understand; noise reduction and anti-shake are useful; screen and viewfinder are clear and battery life is phenomenal; the magnesium body of this means it will take some knocks but is still very light. The downsides are the poor quality of ISO400+ images; in-built flash is no use except at about 8-10ft (less or more and results are dodgy); auto-focussing is pedestrian in both continuous and single shot modes; auto white balance is not perfect. On balance though, if I wanted perfect, I'd lug my Canon DSLR around- as a small, easy to use, generally good quality camera this is perfect and streets ahead of similarly priced competition.Read full review
I purchased this camera for an exceptional price. It is a superb point and shoot with the ability to be overridden to a manual camera. I have a flash gun for a Nikon SLR which overides the inbuilt flash,the results are exceptional. The overall white balance is superb as is the light metering in most modes. This camera would benifit from having a greater zoom ratio but one can't have every thing. This is a camera that you can carry in your pocket at all times. It is ready to shoot in a second and you rarely miss a shot. I have had many point and shoot camera's and this is with out doubt the best. I purchased this with a broken LCD display but was able to procure a new one from an Ebayer in the US. It was very easy to repair. This camrea gives great results for a small 12 megapixel camera. Well done Nikon.Read full review
the p5100 is a small and sturdy digital camera. at 12mp the image quality is as good as you'll need. the screen at the back is large and easy to see and there is the added bonus of a viewfinder which not many digital cameras have these days. i also like the fact that i can select black and white which is good for those atmospheric shots. there is plenty to choose from the menu which could be a bit bewildering at first but once you select your setting then you can leave it at that. the flash is nice and powerfull and there is an anti red eye feature which leesens the effect but i don't think there is flash out there that can completely eliminate red eye. all in all i am very pleased with this camera and will use it for many years to come.
