Review: Nikon has answered the cal for a 5-megapixel camera in its arsenal of Coolpix cameras in its newest flagship, the Coolpix 5700. Considering the 5 Megapixel prosumer/class cameras have been slow in getting to the anxious enthusiast, offerings coming from...

Review: Jack did not think he would ever have to use a digital camera in his studio. In fact, as an old school type of photographer, he was doing very well. In a fast-growing town where he has been working for more than 45 years, he has seen his share of ...

Review: Until recently I had been using a Nikon CP-5000 and had been quite satisfied. Recently, I was presented with the opportunity to pick up the CP-5700 for my camera and $200. Curiosity got the best of me.

The 5700 incorporate several...

Review: I've been waiting all my life for the Nikon Coolpix 5700; compact, enormous zoom range, tack-sharp images and very affordable.

I've been involved in photography for 35 years and have owned dozens of cameras, several darkrooms, etc. over that...

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended for anyone wanting a lot of flexibility and control with high quality results.

Pros: Excellent photo quality and lots of great features!

Cons: You MUST read the manual and play with the camera settings!

The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this because it is solid NIKON quality and it takes all the photos without a hitch.

The Bottom Line: This is a powerful digital camera that will provide you with superb results and a desire to shoot more and more everyday.

Review: I budgeted myself $1000 US to purchase a dependable digital camera that delivers excellent results. I picked up the Nikon Coolpix 5700 in June 2003 after debating between the 5400 and the 5700. In my opinion, the decision to go with the 5700 was well ...

Pros: It offers extensive features and creative capabilities in a compact body that produces great pictures.

Cons: Battery life, changing out lenses.

Review: As a professional graphic artist I needed a nice digital for design work. I stumbled across the Nikon 5700 almost by accident. While looking at a Canon G5 (one of the competitors of the 5700) I noticed another camera in my price range. It had a chunky ...
