Advantages: Excellent picture quality, very sturdy, great manual controls
Disadvantages: Couple design faults, menus slightly confusing

...The Nikon Coolpix 5700 was introduced in September 2001, as a replacement for the Coolpix 5000, but is this camera right for you? Find out in my review... WHAT’S IN THE BOX Inside the retail box you should find the following:- - The 5 million megapixel Nikon Coolpix 5700 camera - 16mb CompactFlash memory card - EN-EL1 rechargeable Li-ion battery - Battery charger - Neck & lens cap straps - USB & Audio/Video cable - CD ROM software including NikonView 5 - 179 page manual The only downside to this retail bundle is the memory card. One of the most vital accessories of any digital camera is its ability to store photo’s, but Nikon only dispatch this top of the range camera with the smallest memory. It is far too small for a camera of this resolution. Therefore, a key point to remember is to also buy a much larger Compact... Read review

Disadvantages: Tiny. Flash performance.

...97 percent at telephoto. Given that I like LCD monitors to be as close to 100 percent accuracy as possible, the 3100 performed fairly well here. 6- The Coolpix 3100's battery life is about 83 minutes in its worst-case power drain mode. 7- If you turn off the LCD this life can get as long as 4 days!!!! Amazing. 8- Last but not least a final question: What do you get in the box where the Coolpix lies waiting for you to use. Well, A wrist strap; a 16 MB lexar CompactFlash card; video cable; USB cable; two non-rechargeable AA batteries; a CD-ROM with the drivers and Nikon View software and the usual instruction manual. Verdict. From the sharp Nikon optics to the full range of exposure control, this Coolpix may satisfy a wide range of users. As in the earlier 885 and 775 models, Nikon continues to extend the Coolpix line... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, excellent picture quality, clear bright LCD, preset photo modes, picture enhancing options.
Disadvantages: Small memory card, short battery life, no case supplied.

...Nikon Coolpix 3100 I would class myself as an enthusiastic amateur photographer and having researched the digital camera market for three months I eventually decided on the Nikon Coolpix 3100. I was not disappointed. This light weight 3.2 million pixel camera is easy to use and has excellent results. General The camera has a maximum picture resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and this produces clear and detailed pictures which are photo quality up to about A4 printed size. Memory Card It uses CompactFlash memory cards and is supplied with a 16MB card which is adequate to begin with but I would recommend getting a much bigger card once you have got the hang of the camera as you can only fit 10 images in maximum quality on the card. They are around £30 for a 128MB one if you shop online. Connection It uses a USB... Read review

Disadvantages: None that I've found so far.

...the camera's USB cable or a card reader with Nikon View 4 which comes on a cd. It's also possible to earmark the photos you want to transfer on the camera, and it's done automatically when you connect it to the computer. Included on the disc is FotoStation Easy which is a useful image database program. Thus far I've taken photos at the medium (normal) setting and the prints compare favourably with ones from any "normal" camera. I even printed one out to A4 size by mistake and I couldn't fault it for colour or detail. It's framed and on my wall, looking great! I generally use the Auto exposure setting since it seems to work well, but I have used various of the pre-sets with good results. Sunsets and indoor shots turn out particularly well using their special settings. I've taken outdoor, indoor, night-time, day-time shots and have had... Read review

Disadvantages: no case

...read (most) of it, but for what i want it to do for me i know how to use it. o0o0o0o Uploading Pictures o0o0o0o When you install the software onto you PC it installs Nikon View 6, and Arcsoft Panorama maker, Nikon view is where you can manage all of your pictures and where you control where they are uploaded to. The panorama maker is a very clever program where you can put in a few pictures you have taken of a building etc, that you have had to take more than one picture, it then puts all of them together to make one big, high quality, picture. The camera comes with a 8mb card, which on high quality (1600) will take 15 pictures, this isnt many but i bought a 128mb card for £24 from e-buyer.com and it holds hundreds!! The pictures are uploaded through a USB cable which connects directly to you PC, all you do is connect the camera... Read review
