I was going to buy the 5000, but I think I'll get this one for the holidays. Aside from the ISO issue, it looks well put together. It has most of the right features for what I need, and at the right price. A good reliable camera for vacations. The wife has the high end Nikon. I can't afford any of those fancy cameras (Leica).

Don't worry about ISO issues. No PHd (push here dummy) camera with such tiny postage-stamp-sized sensors has decent high ISO performance. As long as you don't blow the photo up more than 5x7 there shouldn't be much of a problem.
If ISO does concern you, get a Nikon D40X or Canon Digital Rebel. They're relatively small and a much better value in terms of noise performance. You've got to spend $4,500 to $5,000 to get significantly better ISO performance than those two cameras.

I have a p5000, along with most of the available accessories.
I'm extremely happy with my kit... from the cheap and easy to use bounce flash, to the excellent WA adapter, this is a photographers P&S.

Cool. Glad to see some feedback on the 5000. I was going to get that one until I saw the 5100 for (about) the same price. These higher end P&S's seem to be doing well.
