    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 13, 2002
    Pros: 5 Megapixel Images, Pro metering, NO SHUTTER LAG
    Cons: Nothing important

    Summary: For the past ten years professional and serious amateur photographers have wondered what digital photography was going to be like when it grew up. The answer to that question is pretty complicated, but the new Nikon Coolpix 5000 might be part of the ... read more

  • Nikon D5000 A Great Camera!

    Not Yet Rated by the Epinions community
    Jul 20, 2009
    Pros: Easy to use controls and a great camera for the money!
    Cons: Not as rugged as the d90.

    Summary: We purchased this camera several months ago and Love it! The Nikon D5000 has great performance for its price and the image sensor is the same as the Nikon D90. There is very little noise and not much loss of detail when increasing the ISO settings. If ... read more

  • Print/ Scan/ Copy everything!

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 30, 2008
    Pros: The dream printer and more.
    Cons: Lots of cords.

    Summary: This all in one printer/scanner/copier can do almost everything. It prints photos better than a one hour can in minutes, no chemicals involved! It is exceedingly easy to use with a two inch pop up view screen. The scanner/copier can scan and copy up to a ... read more

  • Great, professional like quality camera

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 16, 2004
    Pros: Durable, professional, Nikon. Best in its class in my opinion.
    Cons: Design placement of flash meter on camera is odd, but does not affect performance.

    Summary: Nikon is probably the best in photography equipment. The Coolpix 5000 is a great camera for nearly any shooting condition. The flash shoe is great for attaching larger flashes and accessories, a feature most other cameras its size don't have. The 5 ... read more

  • Nikon 5000 has widest Coolpix lens -- still

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Mar 28, 2004
    Pros: Small size. Widest Coolpix lens, plus adapter gets to 19mm. Firmware upgrade shoots in RAW.
    Cons: Focus, flash in dark situations. Shutter lag, but Internet Firmware upgrade fixes.

    Summary: The Nikon 5000 has a 28mm lens, which goes down to 19mm with an accessory. This is the widest lens of any Coolpix, even now. The lens quality is outstanding. The camera firmware upgrade allows shooting in RAW, and the 5400 does not. Neither the 5700 nor ... read more

  • An outstanding camera at a reasonable price.

    May 2, 2003
    Pros: Everything about this camera is a plus.
    Cons: Nothing too big, a couple of gripes mentioned...

    Summary: I got this camera because I am a bit of a shutter bug. Since film and developing are too expensive for me for the amount of photos I take, a high-quality digital camera was a necessity. Look up the stats if you need to compare this camera to others, ... read more

    Pros: Many useful features, excellent picture quality, easy photo transfer from camera to computer.
    Cons: A little complicated for the amateur user, more expensive than other comparable cameras.

    Summary: While the Nikon Coolpix 5000 digital camera screams quality and the price tag screams expensive, the new box comes packed with impressive necessities, and the camera itself with impressive features. For the amateur user, ease of use may not be a favorite ... read more

  • My third Nikon Coolpix rules

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 22, 2003
    Pros: Excellent quality, user friendly, compact
    Cons: slow reaction speed

    Summary: I've owned a Nikon Coolpix for over 5 years - I moved onto this one as soon as it comes out (I send the old ones to my mother, who promptly manages to hose them). As someone who has lived through the trials and tribulations of the various versions, and ... read more

  • An ugly camera that makes beautiful pictures

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 19, 2003
    Pros: Pictures are perfect, nice small well built body
    Cons: poor ergonomics, poor flash integration, poor viewfinder, autofocus almost useless

    Summary: I bought the camera a few months after its release by Nikon. The very few reviews available at that time were raving and I always have been happy with Nikon film camera and equipment. At first, I was very disappointed: 1.very poor ergonomics; ... read more

  • My first digital camera, and I love it

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 17, 2003
    Pros: Excellent image quality, quality Nikon construction, many features, many accessories available, good heavy construction
    Cons: Flash sensor STUPIDLY placed too close to shutter finger, slow autofocus

    Summary: I've been doing photography for 25 years, mostly with 35mm SLRs. I own 2 Nikon F2 cameras and 8 Nikkor lenses, and have always been a "Nikon man". This company has products which, in my opinion, are far superior to all but the most expensive (German ... read more

  • You really should think about this...

    Rated a Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 26, 2002
    Pros: Great resolution, small size, excellent wide-angle zoom.
    Cons: Slow, poor flash results, complicated, expensive.

    Summary: If you are interested in a simple-to-use camera for family and vacation pictures, snap-shots at birthday parties and such, you should look elsewhere. This camera doesn't perform well in low light and with flash. At a party, if you are too ... read more

  • Die-hard film addict switches to digital

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jun 22, 2002
    Pros: Lightweight; Excellent quality photos; easy link to pc
    Cons: None.

    Summary: I never thought I would like a digital camera. My previous experiences have shown that digital just could not produce the same high-quality image as film. Then my husband bought me the Nikon Coolpix 5000 as a gift and I am stunned. I've used ... read more

  • Bittersweet

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 27, 2002
    Pros: Great picture quality; simple to use
    Cons: Really poor performance for the price

    Summary: This was bought as an upgrade to my CoolPix 990. Yeah, it's better, but at a price of 850 to 1000 bucks, I can't recommend it. No filter threads. At this price, you'd expect to be able to add a filter. It is extremely erratic in focusing in even ... read more

  • The Nikon Coolpix 5000 - Enter the world of 5-megapixel bliss - Part 1

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    May 21, 2002
    Pros: Incredible images. Numerous features. Good optics. Nikon name.
    Cons: Expensive. Only a 3x optical zoom. Some shutter lag.

    Summary: A little over a year ago, the first 3 megapixel digital still cameras were becoming common-place - but at a price. At that time, the general consensus was that 3 megapixels would be more than enough for everyone's use. That was then. This is ... read more

    May 11, 2002
    Pros: excellent image quality, flexible, powerful!
    Cons: The price might be the biggest turnoff!

    Summary: Let me start off by saying, “I think I need to buy more digital cameras.” The reason I say this you ask? Well, every time I go looking for one it ends up an adventure where I didn’t get the camera I first set out to find. On this trip, my goal was to ... read more

  • The Coolpix 880 was a much better designed camera

    Pros: size, light weight, ergonomics
    Cons: dark screen with cluttered display, slow processing time of photos

    Summary: • Flash sensor in totally wrong place - easily obstructed by fingers gripping the camera as designed. • LCD screen is DARK! I had read this prior to purchasing the camera but I thought surely it would be AT LEAST as bright as the screen on my ... read more

    Pros: 5 Mega pixels, very small size, lots of options
