Don't be deceived by the Nikon Coolpix P5100's looks - it's not actually a digital SLR (dSLR) camera.
This is actually a compact digital camera - though the price tag alone should give that fact away.
As compacts go, the Nikon Coolpix P5100 is pretty chunky. In fact, it weight in at 200g, which is more than the slimmest compact digital cameras on the market.
However the P5100's extra bulk allows the camera to pack a hefty punch in terms of performance. It's a 12-megapixel model that has the handy inclusion of an optical viewfinder (as well as an LCD display).
For a compact digital camera, the P5100 has a lot of manual controls, making it suitable for anyone who is looking to move up to a dSLR camera in the future. Its controls and handling are also similar to a dSLR, if you want to get a taste for it.
As with most Nikon digital cameras, image quality is excellent - both for still images and in video mode. Speed performance is slightly sub-par, however you may be willing to forgive this if you're on the lookout for a more advanced compact digital camera.
