Nikon launches Coolpix P5100, S51c, L15 and friends

If the P5100 is too rich for your blood, meet its junior sibling the P50. Nestling in the plastic frame are all of 8.1 megapixels, with plenty of manual control still in your hands. There's a 3.6x zoom with a satisfyingly roomy 28mm at the wide end.

The screen may be slightly subpar at 61mm (2.4 inches), but the real disappointment is the lack of optical image stabilisation. It's still a very user-friendly camera, powered by AA batteries, but we would prefer a bigger zoom if we're paying £190 or so.
