<p>Easy Nivo Slider allows you to easily add the awesome Nivo Slider to any post, page, or sidebar without writing any code.  This plugin generates the slideshow for you, allowing many customizations including size, speed, type of animation, navigation behavior, etc.  Select which images are used in the slider – all images attached to a post/page, featured images from a category/custom post type/taxonomy/term, or images in a NexGen gallery.</p>
<p>Define up to three slider configurations, setting the slider size and navigation behavior. Then add as many sliders as you want using those configurations, customizing each one for image selection, animation, and speed.</p>
<p>A plugin for the visual editor makes adding shortcodes a snap.  Choose the options you want with a form and the plugin generates the shortcode for you.</p>
<p>Add sliders to your sidebar with widgets, which also allow images selection and slider behavior.</p>
<p>Easy Nivo Slider uses WordPress’s thumbnail support to automatically create copies of images you add to your site, re-sized and cropped to fit the slider exactly.</p>

<h3>Acknowledgements</h3>
<p>This plugin was developed around the Nivo Slider, “The world’s most awesome jQuery slider” by dev7studios.  It’s really an amazing piece of work.  Check out their site at http://nivo.dev7studios.com/   Plugin settings allow you to exclude the Nivo plugin if it’s installed separately.</p>
<p>This plugin uses the very handy Custom Image Sizes plugin by Filosofo to support resizing the sliders.  The Custom Image Sizes plugin is automatically included, but settings allow you to exclude it if it’s installed separately.</p>
<h3>Known Issues</h3>
<ul>
<li>This plugin doesn’t handle resizing of NextGen galleries very well.  NextGen images are handled a little differently, and I’m working on a way to address this.</li>
</ul>

oik-nivo-slider

The oik-nivo-slider plugin provides an advanced [nivo] shortcode.
In its simplest form it will display the images attached to a post or page.
But there are many advanced scenarios which allow you to make a slideshow out of just about any content, so long as there are attached images.
Much of the advanced capability is provided by the oik base plugin.
The previous low ratings were applicable when the oik base plugin consisted of many plugins. This is no longer the case. Those plugins were extracted and made into standalone plugins a long time ago.
I've only rated the slider as a 4 since it's not the best on small screen smart phones and tablets and some of the transitions don't appear to work. That's a limitation of the jQuery.
