Review: The Nikon D5100 shoots outstanding photos with amazing low light performance, but a ho-hum kit lens will have digging in your pockets for better glass shortly.
The arrival of the D5100 appears to signal the completion of Nikons refresh of its non-pro DSLR lineup. Its feature set and pricing mean that it sits very comfortably between the beginner-friendly D3100 and the high-end D7000 - it's clearly aimed to attract the attention of enthusiast photographers without cannibalizing sales of is sister models. A camera maker can judge the success of its market positioning by seeing how many people are wondering 'which model is right for me?' on discussion forums - and we think a D3100/D5100/D7000 progression would minimize such doubts. The official line is that the D90 maintains its position in the range, but both its naming and overlap with other models suggest that its role is now more one of historical interest than future significance.

Nikon P5100 review, find out how the P5100 stacks up against the competition in our real-world review with in-depth image quality comparisons.
Announced just six months after the launch of the P5000, the Nikon P5100 is a gentle re-working of the existing model with a slightly larger, more pixel-dense sensor and hardware-based face-detection. Beyond that, the changes are predominantly cosmetic alterations to the existing model. The camera is Nikon's flagship compact camera, with the 'P' denoting 'performance.' Although it may not visually leap out from a line-up of contemporary compacts, its magnesium alloy body and manual exposure controls belie the unassuming appearance. It aims to offer a greater degree of manual control than the majority of compact cameras and has a strong feature set to help it stand apart. We were actually very impressed with the P5000's image quality and feature set, and only really complained about the sluggish performance. So has Nikon fixed the P5000's Achilles' heel in this update? Lets find out!

Expert reviews of all the latest cameras, lenses, smartphones and accessories, since 2003.
Nikon's highest-featured digicam with controls to suit enthusiast photographers.Nikon's new flagship digicam, the Coolpix P5100 represents a minor update to its predecessor, the P5000. Sensor resolution is increased from 10 to 12.1 megapixels. The lens is the same in both models and includes lens-shift VR image stabilisation. Raw file capture has not been re-introduced, which puts the P5100 at a disadvantage when compared with Canon's PowerShot G9.
Nikon's P5100 is a solid advanced camera and while it has a few issues, most notable is the difficulty in high contrast shooting scenarios and a very slow burst mode, it provides an adequate option for users after manual functionality in a sturdy and slim body.
