Not if you know what you're doing.

Then don't shoot in ISO 800. I almost never use anything but ISO 100 with my 5700.

i have a nikon
cp 5700 looking to get a rebel..... the difference is night and day
in terms of image quality...

The Digital Rebel is certainly a faster camera with a better sensor, which makes it better suited for action photography. But unless most of your shots are action shots or shots in the worst conditions possible, it is impossible to justify your claim, even if we ignore the arbitrary quantification part of it.

As a previous poster wrote, the cheap plastic body of the Digital Rebel is enough to keep me from buying it. The fact that it is lacking in several features is even worse. If it was the only game in town, or if I knew I would never buy another camera, then I might buy the Rebel over the 5700. But of course neither is the case, so I would rather save a little longer and buy a D100 or better, or get a 5700 to tide me over while I save for a better dSLR. If you don't have a digicam, the 5700 will be a keeper even after you get a dSLR - you won't always want to have to lug that thing around. OTOH, if you get a Digital Rebel, eventually you will want to upgrade; when you do, it will make little sense to hold onto the Rebel, and you won't have a smaller, lighter camera for more casual use.

thats one concern abt coolpix 5700, its not fast enough as i read
in the review. i own a coolpix 885, which is so slow it irks me.
The next camera i want to get must NOT be slow, coz i couldnt stand
the wait.

If shutter lag is that horrible for you, then get the Digital Rebel. Shutter lag bothers me as well, but until I have a genuine need for speed (candids of cute girls walking by doesn't really count ), I will make do without.

I dislike all compact digital camera because of shuttle lag.
DSLR is almost zero shuttle lag.

I think you are getting the Shutter lag mixed up with Auto Focus lag. The shutter lag on the 5700 is 0.1s (100ms) when shutter release speed is set to quick response. This is faster than your brain can make your finger move. If you learn how to use the "half press" of a digital camera then you can get fast results, it just takes practice.

Why didn't you ask in both forums. If I was looking at both cameras, I would ask in both forums to get different opinions that way you can get both sides of the argument.

Nikon forum. At least i also ask in the Q&A forum.

valid. Ralph actually owns both (10d and a 5000...equivalent cameras). I am probably going to get a 10d or 300d...I currently own a 5700 and 4500. My walking around camera is the nice little 4500...great pictures. My special camera is the 5700, I have every adapter in the world and it is a superb camera. But, I'll probably get the 10d for astrophotography...it seems to be superior to anything else. But I wouldn't get a 10d for everyday stuff...........there's just way to much stuff to carry around...same as the 300d.....plus a ton of money buying all of the different lenses that most people seem to collect.
You never did say (or I didn't see) what you are going to use the camera for.

If it's an everyday walking around camera....then the 4mpxl 4500 or the 5mpxl 5700 can't be beat.

They will release new Nikon D70 by Spring. They will expect to sell $999. We hope they will sell little less $$$ than $999.
Is worth for you to wait for D70?
Hope not to delay date....
