Nikon Coolpix P5100 - 12.1MP & 3.5X Optical Zoom :
For the enthusiast, the 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 P5100's versatility
is its compatibility with add-on lens converters, such as Nikon’s telephoto
and wide angle lens converters.
The Coolpix P5100 features a quality-crafted body made of solid magnesium alloy,
and the body features a quality finish with a comfortable grip covered in grid-pattern
rubber. The built-in accessory shoe adds support for Nikon Speed lights and
advanced i-TTL flash control.
The P5100 derives its power from a Lithium Ion battery, and images are stored
on SDHC / SD / MMC cards plus 52MB of built-in memory.
Nikon COOLPIX P5100 Feature Highlights:
Nikon Coolpix P5100 Digital Camera
Superb image quality
Excellent imaging quality is a priority for the Coolpix P5100, from the 12.1
effective megapixels of imaging power produced by its 1/1.72-inch RGB CCD and
new digital image processing engine, to its powerful 3.5x Zoom-Nikkor lens and
optical lens shift VR.
Shooting modes that give the user greater control
Four exposure modes accessed via the Mode dial provide greater control over
camera operation. Programmed Auto [P] mode automatically selects the optimal
shutter and aperture settings. Shutter-priority Auto [S] lets the user select
shutter speed, while the camera sets the optimal aperture. Aperture-priority
Auto [A] offers 10-step manual control over the aperture setting to let the
user decide depth of field, while the camera automatically adjusts the shutter
speed. Manual [M] exposure mode provides full control over both the aperture
and shutter speed settings.
Proven lens shift VR image stabilization
Optical lens shift VR (Vibration Reduction) is field-proven technology originally
developed for interchangeable lenses used in Nikon SLR camera systems. The VR
technology provides the ability to shoot at shutter speeds as much as three
stops slower without blurring the image, as well as producing a smoother viewfinder
image which aids composition. Nikon's exclusive VR system also yields sharper
results when shooting in low light when using the 3.5x Zoom-Nikkor lens, or
when reaching farther with an optional telephoto converter lens.

ISO 3200 capability
Extended light sensitivity range up to ISO 3200 adds the power to shoot more
effectively in lower lighting conditions or to capture fast moving subjects
with outstanding clarity. And the new image processing engine produces clear
results, even when shooting with high ISO settings.
The convenience of system expandability
Optional system components further expand the photographic possibilities of
the Coolpix P5100. Nikon's 0.67x wide-angle converter (WC-E67) and 3.0x tele-converter
(TC-E3ED) lenses are available to extend the range of the attached 3.5x Zoom-Nikkor
lens, while a built-in accessory shoe supports the use of Nikon's advanced i-TTL
flash control for external flashes, including the Speed light SB-400, SB-600,
and SB-800. These accessories are not included and must be purchased separately.
