I love 99.9% of this camera
I love this camera and all the things it can do. I love that it has video as well. The only thing I don't like is it is very hard to see the screen in bright outdoor applications. I wished it had a view finder to look through. I was at an Air Force Thunderbirds air show and it was very hard to keep the planes in the screen since they were so small on screen. Other than that, I love it! Would recommend it to others.

Coolpix, perfect for busy family picture taking
This camera is outstanding and has great features. However, I wish it was more rugged and water proof. It is too fragile to take on many trips where I need to pack it with other gear (camping, diving, etc.).

Compact size & does it all
I really enjoy using this small digital camera and movie recorder. I keep it in my coat pocket because it is so compact. I never know when I will come across a photo opportunity. The battery stays charged for quite a long time.

awosome purchase!!!
I have never experience a problem with this little gadget! So far everything works as it suppose to and the screen is great. better than other brands thats for sure.... I am an outdoor person and this camera fits in all my pockets. You have to play around to get the best out of it. Get familiar with the options that it offers and you'll do good...

So far we love it! It should actually be called a 'smart' camera b.c. it does so much without us even realizing it! Great value!

Can someone help me with the picture quality on the Nikon Coolpix s5100?
I have my camera on flash, but the picture quality is always dark, even in bright areas. This happens even with the special settings under the scene key. I'm not sure what to do with the camera to fix it. if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!

Hello Nikon
I brought a Nikon S5100 and I am very satisfied with it. However, I am frustrated because I cannot see the battery status of the camera. Is there a way that I can get this info about the camera? And how?
Thanks in advance :)

Hi,
My Camera hangs when I try to record video and then it switches off by itself. This happens randomly sometimes. When I try to see the last recoding then some message comes like "This files contains no images....."
I have memory card of 4Gb.
Am I doing something wrong? Please help.

I've got the following answer from the manufacturer of the bundled software.
Is this true?
Really, is it impossible to make a panorama image from a video with this camera?
"As consulted with our technical support, we are sorry that your program version can't support video files. Your program is bundled with Nikon device and can't support video files as the Nikon requested."

The images on the camera itself are great, but after I upload them to my computer, some of the images have discoloring, as if they had a problem uploading.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the camera driver, I've also tried using different ways to upload the images, but nothing has worked...
My computer runs on Windows Vista.
