Nikon Coolpix 5000 Digital Camera
Nikon Coolpix 5000
People all around the globe have known Nikon for its exceptional high-end cameras and optics. Nikon also offers a wide range of entry-level digital cameras for the novice. One of the affordable entry-level point and shoot cameras in the Nikon’s Coolpix series is the Nikon Coolpix 5000.
Measuring 101.5 x 81.5 x 67.5 mm (4.0 x 3.2 x 2.7 in) and weighing about 360gr or 12.6 ounces, the Nikon Coolpix 5000 is a 5 megapixel digital camera, delivering images up to 2560 x 1920 pixels. As with most Nikon cameras, this camera is built for capturing high quality, sharp images with great color. The Coolpix 5000 will make things simple for you and gives you greater versatility without compromising your enjoyment of the moment. The camera is easy to use as the camera operates largely under automatic control. For those who want greater control over the camera, this camera also offers manual controls.
The Nikon Coolpix 5000 has a 3x optical zoom lens, providing a zoom range equivalent to a 28-85mm lens on a 35mm camera. An optical viewfinder and a 1.8 inch swivel LCD monitor are available for composing your shot. If you want to save more battery power for an all-day-long shooting, of course, you better use the optical viewfinder rather than the LCD for composing your shot. The Coolpix 5000 comes with a built-in flash, and you can also use an external flash as the camera is equipped with an external flash hot shoe.
Key features:
- 5.0 megapixel CCD sensor
- 3x optical zoom
- 1.8-inch LCD
- Optical viewfinder
- Built-in flash
- External flash hot shoe
- White balance
- Movie mode (with sound)
- CompactFlash Type I or II memory cards compatible
Should you buy the Nikon Coolpix 5000 I recommend buying an extra memory card as the camera includes only a 32 MB CompactFlash card in the box. You should need memory cards with higher capacity to store lots of images and videos. In addition, the Coolpix 5000 uses rechargeable EN-EL1 lithium-ion battery for power.
