      Nikon Coolpix P5100

      By Rich Trenholm

      Review summary: The Nikon Coolpix P5100 is a highly specced 12.1-megapixel camera, with impressive image quality. It packs SLR-style features into a compact frame and gives you great control over shooting. Image stabilisation is built into the lens and you also have ...

      Pros: Compact size ; clever image processing ; wealth of manual controls

      Cons: Sluggish performance

      Verdict: With its SLR-style look, above average features and high specs, the Nikon Coolpix P5100 sets a high bar for itself. It isn't quite the all-rounder we expected, but image quality is excellent in this clever and highly adaptable camera

      Pros: The image quality from this little camera is excellent - provided the ISO is not set above 200. Auto white balance is amongst the best that we have seen. Exposure is generally spot on, and where it is not the exposure compensation falls easily under ...

      Cons: The viewfinder is very small. Low light response time is poor, by the time focus is locked and exposure calculated and the flash readied the subject has disappeared. This is odd because in normal light responses are lightning fast.

      Verdict: This camera, like all the compacts that boast absurdly high pixel counts, is prone to image noise above ISO200. Below that point the images are clean enough, particularly if the end display medium is a 10 by 15 cm print. With Noise Reduction turned on ...
