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...

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 28, 2008 Type: User Review Now I'm convinced I'll never buy any other brand

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...

From: Amazon Posted: Jul 25, 2008 Type: User Review questionable warranty

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...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 21, 2008 Type: User Review I spilled beer on it and it still works

OK, so it was my "friend" who spilled my beer on the camera; I probably shouldn't have left it on the table, but it's so light and fun to use that I like to keep it handy. (The beer only splashed onto the front lens area, so not much damage. I was...

I upgraded my Coolpix P5000 to Coolpix P5100 for enhanced image quality and overall performance. I was so disappointed that my Coolpix P5100 yielded blurry and hazy pictures taken in broad daylight, even with its "fine" mode on. Its indoor...

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 02, 2008 Type: User Review Nice camera

A small camera that achieves big results. A must have for nikonists that want to forget the weight of digital reflexs for a while.

Great value for price, decent video capabilities, and many special (and useful) modes of exposure. read full review | report as inappropriate
