Nikon CoolPix P5100 Digital Camera review - Trusted Reviews
The Nikon CoolPix P5100 is a small but worthwhile update of the P5000, and while it may not tempt owners of the previous model it is a good alternative to a point-and-shoot compact for anyone who wants a bit more creative photographic control...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,...

Nikon Coolpix P5100 Camera - Review
Compact, attractive, sturdy magnesium body design Well laid-out buttons, well-designed menu system Excellent, natural color with good contrast...No live histogram No RAW file format Some consumers may find the P5100's natural color less appealing...A less obvious pleasure of the Nikon P5100 is the menu system...I also like the option to use either a text-based...

Nikon CoolPix P5100 review | from TechRadar's expert reviews of Compact cameras
Very light > Some nice features...Uninspiring image quality > Dodgy interface > Poor display...The tiny Nikon CoolPix P5100 is just such a camera with full-featured controls, magnesium-alloy body, a 3.5x zoom, VR image stabilisation and a whopping 12.1MP image sensor...Well, those are the headline specs, but how does the P5100 stack up when you're trying to...

User friendly Compact and lightweight 2.5" LCD screen Nice ergonomics...Slow Tendency to clip highlights Poor low-light performance...Some reviewers have suggested that the P5100 is Nikon’s answer to Canon’s uber-cool G9, but I believe the P5100 was designed to challenge the supremacy of Canon’s very popular “A” series digicams...The P5100’s...
