ok, on the 6 day before xmax my true love gave to meThis question is not for people who don't own a Coolpix 5000, not
for people who have never used a Coolpix 5000, and not for people
who like to stand on the sidelines and criticize everything there
is about the Coolpix 5000.
This question is for people who have owned a Coolpix for at least
several days now, and have used it, and have seen in person what it
can do.
Are you generally pleased with the camera (taking into account that
no camera is perfect)? Would you recommend that people buy this
camera instead of its closest competitors?
Your answers will help me decide whether to trade up from my
Coolpix 990 or not. Thanks.
1 sony dsc f707 5 megapixel camera
1 minolta digimage7 5 megapixel camera
1 olympus E-10
1 Nikon cool pic 885 3 megapixel
THE SONY was great, nice features, quiet,dream machine, that was hard to take places easily because of its long snout, but their was a bigger problem building. Holding the camera was akward because of the zoom which is its best feature you have to hold it with your palm up cupped and after about a half hour of manual focus the wrist started to really be affected with twisting and zooming, imangine a year of that and you have some major carpiil tunnel type thing happening, in the box it went for the return list.
The MINOLTA looks like it was put togother my the junk yard dogs, using scrap metal laying arround, sorry minolta but if that is not bad enough the sounds coming from that camera made my face cringe and wondering what the hell is going on inside thier, i never got a picture off and packed that back in as fast as I could, mad that i even read the manual that night.
The Olympus - I started to feel like a pro with this thing arrround my neck, beautiful camera, great feel, rubber coated lenz sweet touch, rugged body nice, acrobatic monitor, i started thinking this is the one great for high speed shots , great button configuration, just one problem the speed that the camera was designed for was a huge and I mean huge sacrafice for the small size picture , which means the great high speed pics you take of action before it really happens could not print on a stamp, let alone a post card, with great hesitation i put this back in the box,
The Nikon, which now seemed microscopic in size, cute- corlorful body made for a woman i imangined, excellent features, geat pictures, nice looking box it comes in well, great advertisiing slogans, the more i played with this the more i liked it, it was great for stealth shots , no one new i had a camera in my jacket pocket, niceee. noticed the nikon picture quality compared to the sony i had printed out on super B 13*19 SIZE which is taking the picture quality to the envelope, the nikon printing a better picture than the sony, this is with no editing. to bad that Nikon was not powerfull enough for my real world and job. With great sadness , they all went back , my girlfriend heart broken and I witthout a present.
ON xmas day my girlfriend gave to me a NIKON COOLPIC 5000, and she said what ever you do dont leave the cap on ,because the guy at the store said, the camera will brake and have to go back to nikon, Okkkkkkkk i
said, lit up the battery for 2 hours, read the box looking for the highlights on this puppy, plain box, bad advertising, read 92 pages of the manual, took 26 pictures straight from the box, haphazardly not caring if it worked or not really, i was for the most part cameraeeed out. I noticed how easy it was to hold with the monitor out gave it more width and less shake when taking the camera,, from a seating position. I should mention i installed no software on any of the camera, none of it is nessacary, all 26 pictues of everthing near and far came out, with excellent results and full size they were huge clear, and fast, I deleted all the pics and got back to shooting more serously, using the 3 shot burst at the ceiling fan using the fastest shutter speed and caught the fan in a sruperior frame shot with no blur amazing speed for a digital, wondered why they did not mark that on the box, what else can this cam do, its solid, built rugged some acrobats on the monitor, everthing has its place, well thought out, all the gadgest and gizmos of the best, and than some that best picture shot, tremendous
who cares im going back to huge picture speed shot , than im going to print out on super b, and if this works i got myself a DIGITAL CAMERA..
To all those that took the time to read this a very MERRY XMAS and to all a good night. Oh your wondering about the print, it was excellent no missed pixels, professionial quallity and to top it off the firmware was 1.6 and the nikon logo stood proudly as the King of the consumer pro as far as I was concered, and when your the best at what you do, you dont need no advertising, because the slogan is . BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME.
Yes, i am going to install the software
No, i am not going to read anymore of the manual
Yes i am going to set up my user 1-2-3
Yes i am going to buy the ac charger which dose not come with it,
yes i will get the case, and no i will not test the lenz cap on just to see if it works
i sure as hell hope this help more than just a few people
and have a HAPPY NEW YEAR.--COAL-X-MAN
