Opinion: It's a great 8MP digi-camera in this price, it's a average good one. Example image quality, auto-WB, Zoom tele.
Problems: 1. Shutter Delay too much.
2. Zoom wide not enough.
3. Manual focus hard to operate.
Opinion: Beautiful Camera with nice lenses. For my purposes fast enough if switched on and not in sleep modus. Very easy handling.
Problems: Battery pack of CP5000 does not fit which is rather disappointing since there is no obvious reason than greed for money.
8mp is too many for the resolution of the lenses. Think of buying the CP8700 because of the rich featrues but not because of the number of pixels.
Opinion: Wonderfull camera. With their optional lens you can do all kinds of professional jobs.
Opinion: Have just upgraded to the 8700 from the 5700. Virtually the same camera, with some exceptions:
-AF Assist lamp is a welcome development
-Menu has been simplified (I assume this was in reaction to customer feedback, I preferred the 5700 menu)
-The glass is excellent for a 5mp, but I'm not sure this is the case for an 8mp. I have not noticed a significant increase in resolution
-Larger LCD / increased resolution of EVF
-Much more competitive pricing than the original 5700
Problems: None. I was a huge fan of the 5700 (stolen, the 8700 is an insurance replacement) and expect the same satisfaction with this unit. My only negative reaction is the change in menu system.
Good luck with your choice!
