The Nikon Coolpix 5000 - Enter the world of 5-megapixel bliss - Part 1

Pros Great camera in a moderately priced package.
Cons No video, which is common in the newer dSLRs.

Overall, this a great camera. If you're into cameras I'd go with this one. The ISO performace is pretty strong as you can go up to 1,600 without too much graniness. Read full review »
