[QUOTE="Neil, post: 1029128, member: 1568"] [b]P5100 Auto Focus[/b] I've been quite impressed with the AF of the P5100 which is faster than the P5000. Just enough to get one frame of a Little Ringed Plover feeding around in the mud. This is a good test for an auto focus system. It's good up to about 2/3rds zoom , but after that you have to be more careful and find something with good contrast to focus on (eg legs,ground,branch ). These were taken at 115 mm (24.5mm ) on the zoom (max is 123 mm ). It's hard to get the AF to work at full zoom in less than perfect light. Neil. Nikon P5100 plus Swarovski STS80HD scope and Sw 30x eyepiece and DCA adapter. Hong Kong, China. October 2007 [/QUOTE]
