I also think that the p5100's 12mp would be more than enough for the usual printing output may it be enlarged or not. it is also smaller than the d40/d40x ü and the underwater casing for the p5xxx series is way cheaper hehehe. but at the end of the day... it all boils down to one's preference, shooting habits and affordability and the reasons you listed are stil very compelling esp to those who'd want to enter the world of DSLRs. btw, you still haven't emailed me your world photo directory banner i’d still probably go with the p5100. i’ve seen actual samples of p5000’s shots taken at the highest iso settings and the image didn’t have lot of noise at all.

havent tried the nikon p5100, i have to admit am biased to DSLRs because of the ability to change lenses and the sensor size is bigger, APC instead of APS sized sensor.

The nikon p5100 uses a 1/1.72″ Type CCD while the Nikon D40 uses a 23.7 x 15.5 mm (Nikon DX) giving it more real estate. What this means is that it can capture more detail and files can be enlarged bigger without breaking out pixelized.

Also the D40 can shoot RAW and JPG while the P5100 can also take jpeg and AVI.

Which one do you like?
