Nikon Coolpix 5000

Opinion: Good camera when you know operate not for point&shoot
and tourist photographer!

Opinion: You will not find another camera under $2000 with more manual control
than the Nikon Coolpix 5000. Pro D1 users will be right at home but
point-and-shoot photographers will have quite the learning curve to
tackle. It's definitely a finesse camera so don't expect great shots to just
spit out without a little tweaking of the extensive manual controls.
Nikon's first rate construction, numerous features/controls, and very
good image quality (although I did find the Sony F707 image quality to
be slightly better) make this camera a worth wild buy and, therefore, I
highly recommend the Nikon Coolpix 5000.

Opinion: perfect camera if you know how to use manual .
however if you are looking for simple point and shoot version .. its not for
you
