0600 EST: 0600 UTC: Nikon has today announced the Coolpix
5000. This all new five megapixel, three times optical zoom digital camera
marks the new prestige in the Nikon line. It's all metal (magnesium alloy)
body and stylish lines make it extremely distinctive and professional
looking. Don't be deceived by the looks this camera is smaller than you
would think! In this article (part two of two) we have press photos of
the image as well as some exclusive shots of a pre-production unit we
have in-house.
TIMEZONE: Note that we had been told that the embargo time was 0600 EST
but it turns out that at 0600 UTC several other sites (including Nikon
Japan) have published full Coolpix 5000 info.

No Nikon camera we've tested to date balances stills and video capture as well as the Nikon Z7. Though autofocus is less reliable than the D850, Nikon's first full-frame mirrorless gets enough right to earn our recommendation.
Nikon's Coolpix P1000 has moved the zoom needle from 'absurd' to 'ludicrous,' with an equivalent focal length of 24-3000mm. While it's great for lunar and still wildlife photography, we found that it's not suited for much else.
As a stills camera the Fujifilm X-T3 is a pleasant update to one of our favorite APS-C cameras, significantly improving the autofocus. If you're interested in stills and video, though, it's knockout.
The Nikon Z7 is slated as a mirrorless equivalent to the D850, but it can't subject track with the same reliability as its DSLR counterpart. AF performance is otherwise good, except in low light where hunting can lead to missed shots.
The Canon EOS R is the first full frame mirrorless camera to use the new RF mount. We're well underway putting it through our range of standard tests – take a look at how it compares to the competition and our thoughts on using it so far.
