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.
