Summary: Nikon CoolPix P5100 REFURBISHED
Comment: Very disappointed in this purchase. Device was defective. Not all of the items were included in the shippment.
I purchased another identical camera from eBay that was used. This used device was in much better condition. The shipment included all of the items that come with a new camera.

Summary: Powerful camera in a small package
Comment: This camera has features that would make it an excellent backup for a high level amateur, and dare I say, a professional photographer.
The video feature is most handy.
It has enough features which allows the professional good control over exposure, but, the automatic or preset exposure modes are excellent overall.
The hot shoe for the flash is actually usable, and gives us more flexibility, and D-Lighting dramatically enhances the camera's dynamic range.
If I were to have a "minicomplaint", it is the fact that the viewing screen does not swivel, which would give this camera even more flexibility.

Summary: A Point & Shoot - That Shoots Like An SLR
Comment: My primary camera is a Nikon D300! I have times where using this camera is simply not prudent. The Nikon 5100 is frankly the best possible answer! It's F stop is adjustable down to approx. 2.8 and the lens lets in plenty of light. The addition of the adapter ring allows you to use "Wide Angle" & "Telephoto" lens made by Nikon!

Summary: Rockin Cam
Comment: I have had this camera for a few weeks and am astounded with the quality of the images it takes. I zoomed in on a gecko on the screen on my back porch and snapped away. The gecko had a fly in its mouth and the camera caught the yellow and black markings on the bug and the veins in the wings. highly recommended.

Summary: Great advanced P&S digital
Comment: I use 35mm and 6x6 film cameras and wanted a good, small, non-SLR digital camera to throw in a camera bag and use on shoots to preview shots and do lighting tests. True this doesn't have the range of my pro lenses but has the ability to attach speedlights (it even works with NON-iTTL flashes like the SB-28 if you set it up properly) and allows me to attach my radio transmitter to the hotshoe and remotely fire my strobes for test shots.
And it's a good performer in it's own right. The advanced features are great, and it's intuitive and easy to use. The magnesium & rubber construction has a quality feel that makes it feel a rugged as my pro Nikon gear, and it's rangefinder-like design looks surprisingly similar to the great Mamiya 6 (though much smaller of course).
Great photos, excellent adjustment and customization, versatile, compact, rugged, and well designed. Can be simple & fully automated for the pointer-and-shooter, and can get out of the way and let an experienced photographer take full control when needed. As for speed, anyone who has worked with film in low light will not be bothered by the speed of this camera or the resulting image quality in the same situations.
This is a great little digital camera, maybe one of the best non-slr choices out there.
