Photos: Hands-on with the Nikon Coolpix P5100

Avast right there, sailor. A nifty continuous flash feature lets you shoot full speed ahead without having to wait for the flash to recharge. The lens is compatible with various converter lenses that improve wide-angle and telephoto reach. Built into the lens is optical lens-shift image stabilisation, which makes this old sea dog very happy.

There'll be more on these features in our full review of the P5100, tacking into port very soon.

The Nikon P5100 costs £300 and is available now. Overstretched nautical metaphors are free. Aye-aye cap'n!
