Nikon Coolpix P5100 Images

By Zennith Geisler on 06/02/2008

More Nikon Australia reviews , RRP: AU$549.00

The good:

  • Plentiful manual controls
  • Optical image stabilisation
  • Impressive image quality

The bad:

  • Sluggish performance
  • Time lapse feature restricted by battery life

The bottomline:

Pleasing image quality and a wealth of manual controls make the SLR-styled Nikon Coolpix P5100 a good compact choice but its slow performance disappoints.

Editors' rating:

7.6/10

      The Canon EOS 1000D is a good entry-level dSLR, but only its photo quality stands out among the competition.

      Nikon D90

      Looking to lure existing Nikonistas, dSLR virgins and the Canon convertee, Nikon has announced the D90, the first digital SLR to feature video recording.

    • Canon EOS 50D

      Canon EOS 50D

      Come October 1 the 50D will sit atop Canon's APS-C digital SLR tree. It gains a higher resolution 3-inch LCD, face detection and a 15.1-megapixel sensor over the 40D, which will continue to soldier on.

    • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150

      Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150

      Available in black, red or silver, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W150 offers 5x optical zoom, face detection and optical image stabilisation amongst its feature set.

    • Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50

      Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50

      Plentiful features with all manner of adjustable options, entertaining gimmicks and rock-solid shooting make us like this camera a lot. If you could stick an SD card slot in there, it'd be one of the best superzooms we've seen. Sadly, it loses marks for the proprietary connections.
