 Great little camera! September 8, 2008
This is my first digital camera and I am greatly impressed with its versatility and general ease of use. Yes, I agree with others, the lag time is somewhat daunting, but for most applications it is acceptable. The overall excellence in picture quality alone, especially with regard to clarity and exacting color, should thoroughly delight most discriminating photographers. The camera is extremely sensitive to very subtle light sources and automatically adjusts to accept poorly illuminated environments. It is hard to believe that anyone would not be happy with this camera.
The best enthusiast camera for your dollar on the market September 1, 2008
I've had/used this camera for 2 weeks now and i'm pleased with my purchase. It performs well but based on expert reviews does not beat its main compeditor i.e. canon G9 but still gives good performance in its class...and for $150 less than its rivals...THIS IS A DEAL!
I believe its even better that the P6000 that has the same sensor size but costs more.
Get it if you can, while not as popular as others its a much better deal if cost is a factor.
Now I'm convinced I'll never buy any other brand July 28, 2008
I have owned semi-professional Nikon film cameras for many years but somehow got sidetracked into buying Canon for my point-and-shoot digital cameras. No more! This camera is GREAT. The build is soooo substantial you know you're handling a serious machine. Controls are extra solid and intuitive, with the right balance between function-specific "real" buttons and screen menu selections. The fact that it has a hotshoe makes it extra flexible, eventhough the built-in flash normally does the job. It's fast and really easy to handle, eventhough it's aimed to a serious amateur segment. Finally, regarding the image quality: SUPERB. I was astounded at the sharpness, detail, color accuracy, and saturation of my latest set of prints. My only quibble with this awesome camera is that it doesn't have a wide-angle lens... its zoom starts at 35mm equivalent which is a bit of a pain for taking panorama or quirky wide angle close-ups, which happen to be my favorite! If you're OK with the lens, do not think twice and buy this baby. You'll love the photos it takes.
 questionable warranty July 25, 2008

I purchased a P5100 from Amazon - one week into its first use (during a vacation), it stopped working - the lens refused to exit the body. I just have been in touch with Nikon where I learned that I will need to pay for the return of the camera for warranty repair. I will never ever again buy a camera from Amazon since unlike a bricks and mortar shop, they seem to have no responsibility for products like this once they sell them.
 Disappointed July 10, 2008

I have been a Nikon digital user for several years, usually having multiples for different uses. My main camera is currently a D40X SLR, but I like to have a pocket size also. I bought the Coolpix P5100 to upgrade from a Coolpix 4200 which I had for 4 years. It was highly recommended by sales people at 2 different camera stores over other models I was considering. But it is a big disappointment. Because I am primarily an SLR user, my expectations are high. But even comparing it to my old 4200, this camera is a loser. It is extremely slow to focus and take the picture (the worst I have ever used). It does great on landscapes or posed pictures, but forget anything that is moving, such as kids at play or animals. It seems not to be able to focus on moving objects at all. Other features (or lack of them) that I dislike:
- the mode dial does not have frequently used modes such as landscape or sports; you have to use scene and then cursor through a whole list of modes to get to them (very annoying)
- I'm used to using the viewfinder (no other option with the SLRs), and monitors are difficult to see in sunlight. This camera has a viewfinder, but there is no way to turn the monitor off (there is with my old 4200), so the battery drains much faster.
I expected something better than what I had, but I didn't get it. Sorry, Nikon, but you let me down on this one. I would return it if I could.
