Nikon Coolpix 5700 Review
The new eight times zoom, five megapixel Coolpix 5700 was
announced on May 29th, 2002 as part of a trio of new Coolpix digital cameras
from Nikon. The 5700 marks the next logical progression from the Coolpix
5000 and adds a big eight times optical zoom lens. This instantly raises
the 5700 to the top of the prosumer digital camera pile, the nearest competition
coming from Minolta's DiMAGE 7i (seven times optical zoom, five megapixel)
and Sony's DSC-F707 (five times optical zoom, five megapixel).
Evolution
As you can see from the shot above the 5700 is instantly
recognizable as being based on the 5000 'backend'. Indeed there is much
about the 5700 which is similar to the 5000, however there are some other
important differences which are detailed below.

The Nikon Z6 may not offer the incredible resolution of its sibling, the Z7, but its excellent video quality and faster performance make it an impressive camera at a considerably lower price.
