Nikon Coolpix 5700 Digital Camera

Since Nikon has been popular all around the globe it needs no introduction in the world of photography. Nikon offers a wide range of easy to use digital cameras for the novice. One of the affordable point and shoot cameras in the Nikon’s Coolpix series is the Nikon Coolpix 5700.

Developed to join the Coolpix 5000 at the top of the Nikon Coolpix digital still camera lineup, the Coolpix 5700 is a 5 megapixel digital camera. It delivers images up to 2560 x 1920 pixels. As with most Nikon cameras, the 5700 is built for capturing superior image quality with great color.

The Nikon Coolpix 5700 digital camera has an 8x optical zoom lens, providing a zoom range equivalent to a 35-280mm lens on a 35mm camera. A 1.8 inch vari-angle LCD monitor and an EVF (Electronic ViewFinder) with its great frame coverage are available for composing your shot. The camera comes with an auto pop-up Speedlight, and also features an accessory shoe, and you can also attach an external Speedlight as the Coolpix 5700 is equipped with an external flash hot shoe.

The Coolpix 5700 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.

Key features:

- 5.0 megapixel CCD sensor

- 8x optical zoom

- 1.8-inch LCD

- Electronic viewfinder

- Built-in pop-up flash

- External flash hot shoe

Should you buy the Nikon Coolpix 5700 digital camera I recommend buying an extra memory card as the camera includes only a 16 MB CompactFlash card in the box. You should need memory cards with higher capacity to store lots of images and videos. In addition, a rechargeable EN-EL1 lithium-ion battery pack powers the 5700, and an AC adapter is available as a separate accessory.
