Nikon Coolpix P5000

We have had our Nikon Coolpix 700 for over a year. In that time we have taken hundreds and hundreds of photos. In the previous few years of using old-fashioned cameras, we had taken only 48 pictures! So the first advantage of a digital camera is that you do use it. We had heard that one of the drawbacks of digital cameras is that they eat batteries. We made sure that the Coolpix 700 used ordinary batteries rather than specialist camera batteries. Camera batteries are much more expensive and harder to get hold of on a day out when your batteries run out. This uses simple AA batteries that can ... more

When I decided I wanted to buy a digital camera, I was lucky enough to have an enthusiastic sales person to help me, because within the £400 price range there is a lot of rubbish. The Nikon Coolpix 700, however, has the quality of a camera twice its price.

Picture resolution is 10 million pixels and this captures every moment perfectly. I have never seen such detail, such sharpness from a digital camera before. To add to the ... more

Having tried digital photography with a top of the range Ricoh, I was not very impressed. However when it broke just before Christmas we looked around for a replacement. We eventually chose the NIKON COOLPIX 700 and have been delighted with the results. The images are sharp, colours true and no pixelating when zooming in on the images. I was using my SLR for important pictures due to the quality of the old camera but have stopped using it since the Nikon. We bought the camera from a local computer retailer, it came bundled with re-chargable batteries, a charger and a flash card. The card holds ... more
