Nikon Coolpix 5700 5MP Digital Camera w/ 8x Optical Zoom Nikon’s Coolpix 5700 digital camera combines Nikon’s world-renowned Nikkor optics, an 8x optical zoom, and a 5-megapixel CCD sensor for superior image quality. With its maximum resolution of 2,560 x 1,920 pixels and file sizes of up to 15 MB, you can create brilliant color prints sized 16 by 20 inches and beyond. The Coolpix 5700 provides great control over picture composition, and plenty of latitude to crop and resize images without digital artifacts becoming noticeable in the final print.

The 8X optical zoom Nikkor lens offers a 35-280mm zoom range (35mm equivalent), and uses Nikon-developed ED (extra-low dispersion) glass. For even greater magnification, the stepless 4x digital zoom provides for a maximum zoom range of 32x, so you can capture details even from great distances.

The Coolpix 5700 features Nikon’s exclusive clear-image mode for lower-resolution shooting, plus noise-reduction mode for use with longer exposures. It also offers a three frame-per-second burst mode and a top shutter speed of 1/4,000 second, great for action-packed outdoor and sports photography.

You can frame subjects using the various-angle LCD monitor, or the new electronic viewfinder for through-the-lens viewing of scenes and menus. Nikons “quick review” makes viewing images on the included memory card a snap, and a five-area multi autofocus lets you pick your focus spot.

Its movie mode enables you to record full-motion video for up to one full minute with sound. A built-in speaker provides instant confirmation and playback capabilities for digital movies.

The Coolpix 5700 comes equipped with an automatic pop-up flash, plus a hot shoe for additional flash units. The bundled NikonView 5 browser software (for Mac and Windows) makes it simple to organize, retrieve, and print images. It includes a lens cap, camera strap, 16 MB CompactFlash card, AV cable, USB cable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery (EN-EL1), and battery charger. It is compatible with type I and II CompactFlash memory cards, as well as IBM Microdrives (512 MB and 1 GB).
Customer Review: good camera good buy
I find the camera to be of excellent quality. It will serve my need for many years. The only problems: Installation disc is CDI…will not run on my computer. Had to select programs from Nikon to download and don’t get all the functions I want. The memory card is old technology and the 10 megs they supply is a joke. I’ve ordered a 2 gig card so I can take more than 6 pictures at once.
Customer Review: Great Optics, Great support from Nikon
The 5 Megapixel Nikon 5700 has been around a while, and people continue to love it and hate it. The optics are why you buy Nikon, and this is one sharp lens. It’s complicated to operate if you want to do manual settings (M, A, S), but the Program mode will suffice for most people. It will shoot in RAW mode, unusual for a consumer camera. That gives you a lot of flexibility in adjusting the image. If you’re not willing to read the manual though, this may not be the camera for you. Sort of like driving a manual transmission, it’s so easy once you know how but you have to give it the effort to practice.

Customer Review: GOOD CAMERA BUT BROKE AFTER A YEAR AND A HALF
Overall, this camera was great for me. I thought it took great quality pictures and was very easy to use. I especially liked the touch screen!! The only disappointment was that my camera broke a few days ago. I had this camera only a year and a half and one day i tried to turn it on and it kept saying “turn power on and off again.” I did that, even reset the camera, but it wouldn’t allow me to take pictures or go into the settings mode. I contacted sony about this issue and they told me there was no such issue! (exactly, what I read on the messages boards from others who have this camera) Sony told me that my camera needs repair and needs to be sent in. It would cost $170+tax and shipping. With that money you can buy a new camera. I would just like to know if anyone else had this issue? I never treated this camera bad and it was always in its case if not in use. Don’t get me wrong, this camera took clear pictures!
