Hello ortega,
Yet another great photo and example of the ability of the camera :thumbsup:
I as yet (only a week and a half to go) I don't own one.
I have though looked at the custom setting ability.
Have you set this up for your liking yet :think:
I was thinking of something along the lines of :.......
Custom (1). Fixed apeture. Iso 64to100. Whiteballance for daylight.
Custom (2). Fixed apeture. Iso 64 to 400. Auto Whiteballance.
These being my main settings for both customs.
(1) For shooting outside and (2) for shooting inside.
These are for when I want more control rather than Auto.
Do these settings seem within reason to you or have you another point of view :dunno:
Cheers

i think it is normal, as i have also witness this on other cameras
even from other brands
Hi Ortega, I wanna get P5100 as well. Do you know if the LCD flickering and purple line happen to some or all P5100 units you've hold ? I also noticed noisy LCD view before shooting, is this normal and happen to most P5100 as well ?
I know it may not affect the picture quality, but I'll be more excited without those two issues above.
TIA,

from my limited knowledge
i guess that this is a liveview issue and affects all P&S/prosumer cameras
so it is normal and you do not have a choice
as "all" liveview cameras will display the same issue.
do correct me if i am wrong about this.
btw as i always say
"Only the image matters"
According to manual and test, yes it has exposure lock by half-pressing the shutter.
Panorama shots will automatically locked the exposure according to the first shot (manual page 42, I've yet to test the AE-L panorama).
$599 isn't all that bad, even in other stores, its still only $20-$30 less, and there isn't the option of going for extended warranty.

Just came back from the store where I fiddled around with this Cam. Must say it feels pretty neat in my hands. G9 is much bigger. P5100 is well priced compared to G9. Does this cam support Raw? Asked the sales person but he was clueless.
Anyone else considering between this 2 cams also?
Thanks.
