Nikon has just launched the 13.5-megapixe P6000 which I?m hoping to review soon, but before then I want to take a look at the P5100, a 12.1-megapixel upgrade of the original P5000 that was launched late last year...Most compact cameras these days are simple point-and-shoot models designed as much for style and fashion as for ease of use and performance, but the P5100 is not entirely...
