Nikon Coolpix P5100

The Nikon Coolpix P5100 couples a sensor resolution of 12 megapixels to a Nikkor-branded 3.5x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilization. The Nikon 5100 offers up a 2.5 inches LCD display with a higher-than-average 230,000 pixel resolution, as well as an optical viewfinder -- an increasingly rare option these days, and one that's useful in difficult lighting conditions or when you need to economize on battery life.

For the enthusiast, the Nikon P5100 offers full program, shutter, aperture, and manual exposure modes as well as 15 scene modes appreciated by less experienced photographers. Hi-ISO and movie modes are also provided. Adding to the Nikon P5100's versatility is its compatibility with add-on lens converters, such as Nikon's telephoto and wide-angle lens converters.
