CNET Review
The Good: The Nikon Coolpix P5000 has optical image stabilization and excellent exposure, color, and sharpness.
The Bad: Slow; LCD unusable in bright sunlight; highly inconsistent color across different ISO sensitivity levels; unusually strong barrel distortion at widest angle despite relatively narrow 36mm-equivalent angle of view.
The Bottom Line: A few performance issues with the Nikon Coolpix P5000 diminish the appeal of an otherwise nice compact camera for amateurs.
