What Digital Camera test review of the Nikon Coolpix P5000

The Nikon P5000 is a serious camera. With its 10-megapixel CCD, a screw-thread for attaching a wide-angle or telephoto converter lens, an optical viewfinder and an uncompromising array of buttons and dials, this is a compact with

A compact, high resolution digicam with functions to appeal to keen photographers.After a couple of years of producing mainly point-and-shoot digicams, Nikon caters once again for enthusiast photographers with its new Coolpix P5000 model. Reminiscent in style of the Coolpix 5400, the P5000 is not only considerably smaller but boasts double the resolution, with a 10-megapixel imager. Interestingly, the sensors in both cameras are the same size. However, the zoom lens is shorter and the widest angle of view only equates to 36mm in 35mm format. The LCD is larger and has higher resolution but it's also non-adjustable. Raw file capture is no longer supported.

With this powerful little compact, Nikon puts a monster in your pocket -- and it's easy to control.

Review of Nikon Coolpix P5000 digital point & shoot camera a prosumer model with powerful automatic modes, versatile manual modes, vibration reduction and movie modes.

Just when Nikon fans had given up on the company ever producing a serious enthusiast compact camera again (thanks to the arrival of the affordable DSLR), along came the P5000, the nearest thing to a high-end compact since the demise of the Coolpix 8800 and 8400 a couple of years back. It's a big leap forward from the previous, slightly disappointing P ('performance', apparently) series cameras, with a more complete feature set, a flash hot shoe and a much more sensible design (previous models were modeled on a bar of soap, and offered similar handling). Although nowhere near as advanced as the real big beasts of this sector, it is much more compact than cameras like the Canon G7, and it does come with a decent level of expandability (add on lenses, flash etc) - and it's very keenly priced. So is this the camera to put Nikon back on the enthusiast compact map? Let's find out, starting with the headline spec:
