Nikon Coolpix P5000: Compare prices

By Lori Grunin on 11/05/2007

More Nikon Australia reviews , RRP: AU$649.00

The good:

  • Optical image stabilisation
  • Excellent exposure, colour, and sharpness

The bad:

  • Slow
  • LCD unusable in bright sunlight
  • Highly inconsistent colour across different ISO sensitivity levels
  • Unusually strong barrel distortion at widest angle despite relatively narrow 36mm-equivalent angle of view

The bottomline:

A few performance issues with the Nikon Coolpix P5000 diminish the appeal of an otherwise nice compact camera for amateurs.
