Cons: Battery Life, User Interface, Low Light Auto Focus, EVF, Steep learning curve
Summary: Nikon announced Coolpix 5700 in May 2002 and it was targeting the prosumer market or people who look for fairly powerful all-in-one camera without extra investment for SLR. First-of-all, I¡¦m just a beginner/amateur photographer and this review is ... read more

Pros: Great infrared photography, looks nice, trendy brand name.
Cons: Incomprehensible menus, buttons in strange places, terrible autofocusing - manual is even worse.
Summary: I bought the 5700 to allow me more flexibility and creativity and as a step up from my Canon Powershot S500. After trying to use it for a year, I've decided to abandon it in favor of a digital SLR (a Canon 20D) since it hasn't really met my expectations. ... read more

Pros: Feature laden . Able to shoot in RAW . Good software .
Cons: Very slow RAW processing . Difficult to sync with studio flash .
Summary: I bought my Coolpix 5700 in March 2004 after a lot of research both on the Net and from talking to friends who owned one. I knew I needed a minimum of 5 mega pixels as I needed to produce exhibition quality prints at A3+ size. This criteria kept the ... read more

Pros: Great lens. Good picture quality. Reasonably quick recycle time.
Cons: Horrible quality. Horrible customer support. Very short usable life.

Pros: Excellent Optics, Excellent Features. A camera you can grow with.
Cons: Proprietary Battery, Not for Beginners.
Summary: What does one 'need' in a digital camera. How many pixels, how big a zoom lens, what features, etc. These questions are confusing and confounding to most people. For the last year or so, I have been using a point and shoot digital camera that I ... read more

Pros: Very versatile, easy to master, great optics, excellent results.
Cons: Not much.. battery life could be better and a bigger memory card would be nice.

Pros: Sharp Focus, Brilliant Colors, Zoom, Ergonomic, Works great in Auto or Manual, Versatile

Summary: I budgeted myself $1000 US to purchase a dependable digital camera that delivers excellent results. I picked up the Nikon Coolpix 5700 in June 2003 after debating between the 5400 and the 5700. In my opinion, the decision to go with the 5700 was well ... read more

Pros: Great lens, good resolution
Cons: A pig to use. I've given it a very harsh 1 star for that reason.
Summary: A camera is an instrument, the user sees the photo, the user composes the photo and the user hits the shutter release. Great for point & shoots. A proper camera has a whole host of user functions that can be arranged to suit any application. ... read more

Pros: Nice appearance. Compact. Great outside shots.
Cons: Deer in the headlight looks with indoor shots. Focus slow and hard to keep.
Summary: Overall, I like the camera. Outside it is great. Take it out to a childs baseball game and turn on the best picture function, hold down the button as it takes several shots. When finished, it picks the best shot. Or, put it into one of the modes that you ... read more
