Product Rating: 10 star(s) Great camera for this Nana!

I purchased this camera to replace a Canon PowerShot S110. It will be used for taking pictures of my family...especially my 4 grandsons. It arrived just in time for our family reunion and I took lots of pictures of the extended family making my mother very happy. I love the fact that it is easy enough for my 5 year old grandson to use and has other options for my husband and me to experiment with.

QuickTake:

Pros: So easy to use my 5 year old grandson can take great pictures with it
Cons: Shutter response a little slow

I bought the P5100 to have a smaller camera that would fit into my pocket and give me more camera availability than I had with my Nikon D80. It is just what I wanted. Now I can have a camera with me at all times. The quality of the pictures is fantastic and the camera is a pleasure to hold and easy to use. It is one of the few point-n-shoot cameras that does not feel awkward to hold in your hands, and the menus and choices are similar to the D80. I can also use the external flash for my D80 on the P5100. Nikon support is 24/7, exemplary and they speak English! The manual is easy to understand and a quick read. Why does anyone buy anything other than Nikon?

QuickTake:

Pros: Ease of Use, Drop in the pocket availibility, The fit in your hand, Viewfinder, Nikkor Lens.
Cons: Shutter could be a bit more responsive.

Released not long after its sibling, the P5000, the Nikon Coolpix P5100 quickly claimed its role as the new leader of the Coolpix pack. The two cameras bear a close familial resemblance both on the surface and under the hood--most notably the solid, compa

Product Rating: 4 star(s) Nikon Coolpix P5100 12.1Mp digital camera

Comments:
The sturdily built Canon PowerShot S5 IS is what is commonly known as a 'bridge' camera � so called because it forms a bridge between a point-and-shoot compact and a digital SLR.

Review Verdict: All said and done, if you're looking for a portable backup to your DSLR the Nikon Coolpix P5100 may well be the answer to your prayers. A RAW mode and better handling of image noise at the higher ISO settings might just have made the P5100 perfect.

Nikon's flagship enthusiast digital camera, the Coolpix P5100 borrows a few features from its dSLR brothers: 12 megapixels, a 2.5-inch LCD, a simple Command dial, and a menu system that's easy on the eyes. The combination will make Nikon shooter feel righ
