The bad news first, there is a significant delay from pressing the trigger button until the shutter fires, like one to two seconds. The camera is small and compact, but offers many control settings that other cameras do not offer in this compact class. from Buy.com A very good-to-excellent camera within its capabilities. I have generally always owned Canon PS cameras, so the move to this one was not a given. I previously owned the G9 and still would had it not been for some of its shortcomings. from Amazon.com This camera took excellent photos but I run a website which depends on daily photography and this one just went totally black on me out of the blue. I have always been so very careful with my camera because I relied on it so much and now poof. from Amazon.com I have owned and loved Nikon cameras for years -- but honestly, I hate this one to the point where I am about to buy a replacement. The problem is that, especially when you use the flash, there is a huge (and inconsistent) delay between the time you push the button and the time the picture is taken -- typically, 1-3 seconds. from Amazon.com I have never bought a Nikon camera that I didn't love. This camera holds true to that statement. from Amazon.com Exceptionally positive experience. Received a mighty-might Nikon P5100 (refurbished) in jolly-quick time. from Amazon.com Pros: The Nikon Coolpix is overall a great camera and I have enjoyed it. It is pretty easy to use, for a person who is not competely technologically saavy. from Newegg.com I have always been fascinated by photography especially how the photographers come up with their amazing shots. Reading various online contents regarding photography I have decided to get the Nikon P5100 which could give me a result as close to a DSLR image at an affordable price. from Amazon.com The bad news first, there is a significant delay from pressing the trigger button until the shutter fires, like one to two seconds. The camera is small and compact, but offers many control settings that other cameras do not offer in this compact class. from Amazon.com This is a super camera for digiscoping birds and other distant animals. It seems to be a bit slower than my Nikon P80, but otherwise it's a great choice. Dix Smith from Amazon.com
