Pros
5 Megapixel Images, Pro metering, NO SHUTTER LAG
Cons
Nothing important
Recommended it?
Yes
For the past ten years professional and serious amateur photographers have wondered what digital photography was going to be like when it grew up. The answer to that question is pretty complicated, but the new Nikon Coolpix 5000 might be part of the answer. Every now and again there is a quantum...

Pros
Incredible images. Numerous features. Good optics. Nikon name.

Cons
Aperture dial is a little hard to turn, view finder very small.
Recommended it?
Yes
My middle son is interested in photography and he is taking a photograph class. We could not find the old family camera (Canon Powershot S3 IS) so we needed to get a new one. The Canon Powershot S3 IS was also not entirely sufficient for the class.
For his class he needed something better...
