Title: Nikon CoolPix P5000
Verdict: The Nikon CoolPix P5000 isn't the top-drawer semi-pro compact that many were hoping for, but it is a well-made and well-specified camera suitable for more experienced photographers. Its lack of performance and slow AF system are handicaps, but comfortable

Pros: Wide view on LCD, Great handling features, Large text in menus, DSLR-like controls, Lots of flash options
Cons: Clumsy face detection, Audible operation noise, Spotty flash coverage, Slow burst mode, Slow auto focus, No RAW format
Verdict: The preproduction model we first looked at was riddled with silly issues like incomplete and errant menus and missing features. There were lots of problems that we hoped would disappear on the final production model - and only some of those hopes panned o

Title: Nikon Coolpix P5000 Review
Pros: Accurate image colors, Low image noise until ISO 200 with good details, Low purple fringing, Powerful flash, Good macro performance, Good ergonomics, Nice build quality
Cons: Very slow focus system, Slow and unresponsive, Slight image softness, High image noise above ISO 400, 97% LCD Coverage, Barrel distortion at wide-angle, Slow startup
Summary: The Nikon Coolpix P5000 is one of those cameras which seems designed to impress but fails in terms of performance. The photo-quality is actually good up to ISO 200, with good color accuracy and low noise. The P5000's greatest failure comes from its speed

Title: Nikon Coolpix P5000
Pros: Very good photo quality when sharpness is bumped up Optical image stabilization Generally solid construction (with one big exception) Sharp 2.5" LCD display + optical viewfinder Many manual controls (though see below) Powerful flash Custom button on back
Cons: Sluggish performance, especially in terms of focusing Soft images at default settings; some details smudged by noise reduction Some redeye, despite two countermeasures Bizarre noise from VR system is picked up by camera's microphone Unimpressive continuou
Verdict: The Nikon Coolpix P5000 is a good compact camera that had a few too many corners cut, in my opinion. It offers a lot of features for both beginners and enthusiasts, but at the same time it's lacking features that would make it a true D-SLR companion. Thro

Summary: When Canon decided to update its top-of-the-range compact with the PowerShot G7, arch rival Nikon must have started to worry. After all, a decent choice of high-end compacts has been distinctly lacking from Nikon's line-up - until the CoolPix P5000

Title: REVIEW-NIKON COOLPIX P5000
Pros: The auto white balance is particularly impressive. We were surprised at the way the P5000 handled subjects lit by a mixed light source. We were also impressed with the video movie quality, a feature we don't normally comment on because it hardly seems wor
Cons: Once again we are disappointed with a camera that is excellent in almost all respects but is let down by having too many photo receptors on too small an area. 10 million pixels is simply too many and the result is picture noise, which can be intrusive at
Verdict: If you are happy to keep the ISO setting at 200 or below then the Nikon P5000 will do the job. The excellent auto white balance and exposure work to minimise the effects of noise in indoor shots, but mottled skies are not attractive. This is the only Niko
