Reviews of the Nikon Coolpix 5000
-
CNET Review
The Good: High resolution; extensive feature set; compact design and comfortable ergonomics; fold-out-and-swivel LCD; compatible with IBM Microdrives.
The Bad: A few important controls are buried; lens not as powerful as competitors'; noticeable chromatic aberration and JPEG artifacts in images.
The Bottom Line: Some may not like this camera's menu-driven operation or modest lens, but it offers an extensive feature set and flexible design.
