I bought my first 5000 for $550 and my second for $275. The camera is now available for around $300 used.
Have enjoyed using this model. But the instruction book is very difficult to understand. It has taken me several months to feel comfortable with the complexities of this camera.
At the current prices the 5000 is very good value in my opinion.
Also purchased the wide angle, fish eye and 2X tele.
The wide angle is a wonderful add on.
Sometimes I use it for my "standard" lens.
The fish eye is good for special effects.
I do have problems with the delay after pushing the shutter.
Nikon rep says that I would need to purchase a more expensive Nikon to get better results.
The 2X tele is OK.
I am using the 512 Sandisk memory cards and like them very much.
Problems:
Considering purchasing the 1GB Sandisk card. However the manual says the 5000 only uses the 512 as the largest.
It also says that the IBM 1GB micro is OK for this camera.
Does anybody know if the camera can read and use the 1GB Sandisk?
Neither Nikon nor Sandisk know.
