 EXCELLENT CAMERA November 19, 2008
This is an excellent camera. I absolutely love it. The only complaint I have is it is difficult to hold without getting fingerprints over the screen; otherwise, it is great. It is my first digital camera.
 My very 1st Digital Camera November 16, 2008
I have always been fascinated by photography especially how the photographers come up with their amazing shots. Reading various online contents regarding photography I have decided to get the Nikon P5100 which could give me a result as close to a DSLR image at an affordable price.
This is my first time to own a digital camera and I found Nikon P5100 fairly easy to use.
I'm very happy with my purchase and the delivery time it took to reach me.
Slow shutter lag... but it's a great camera. November 15, 2008
The bad news first, there is a significant delay from pressing the trigger button until the shutter fires, like one to two seconds. The camera is small and compact, but offers many control settings that other cameras do not offer in this compact class. The flash is extremely powerful, and the image quality is outstanding. If you want a small camera to carry in your pocket, and you are shooting in a dark room at a shutter speed of 1/250, with a ISO of 150, this is the camera... and the images are excellent! My other camera is a Nikon D300, so I know quality images.
Digiscoping November 15, 2008
This is a super camera for digiscoping birds and other distant animals. It seems to be a bit slower than my Nikon P80, but otherwise it's a great choice.

Nikon P5100 October 29, 2008
I have been taking pictures since 1975, digital pictures since 1996, and this is one hot little camera. I have an expensive 35 mm SLR and all the accessories that I use when I want to take great pictures, but there are times when I do not want the 8 to 10 pounds of camera equipment hanging from my neck. So, I carry a small digital camera in my shirt pocket or in my coat to capture those special moments that only come once in a lifetime. Small Casio and Richo cameras have worked well in the past, but this Nikon beats them all hands down. The picture quality (8 by 10) rivals that of my expensive SLR and it is more handy, so I actually get the shot of my son and wife skiing down the slope while I schuss past them.
I have owned this camera for more than 6 months and have taken more than 1000 pictures with it. The camera powers up quick, is easy to use without having to memorize the users guide, and is not a battery hog like some other digital cameras. For the price, you cannot beat this little gem for picture quality, ease of use, and raw megapixel power. The only shortcoming I have found is the relatively slow shutter release - making fast action photos tough to capture without some anticiaption and timing.
I highly recommend this camera for the casual photographer. If you get this camnera, take the time to order extra batteries and a large memory card, you won't be disapointed.
