Many years later

Strengths: Great quality of pictures

Weakness: some.....

I am still using it after 3.5 years later. I had this since 06/2003, it took great pictures. The 2nd year it got lense jam once, had to send it back to fix. Turned out it should be a bad design of the power switch - it can easily turn on if you put it in the storage bag. A lot people had such discussions and had the same issues. 2 months ago (11/2006) the CCD died. Had to send it back to Nikon...

Nikon 5700

Strengths: Very Durable, Good flexibility, Takes greate pictures

Weakness: Slow, bad in low light. The automatic settings are not good for all situations.

I've bought this camera over a year ago. I also got 5 batteries, a hood, and an extra charger from PriceGrabber.com. This combination is greate for traveling. I used the camera in Iran, Brazil, Peru, China and all over America. It takes great pictures and has been a great travel companion. I've used in wet, sandy, and rain/windy situations and it has survived with minimal maintenance. I would...

Nikon Coolpix 5700 5 Megapixel Compact Camera - 8.90...

Strengths: None

Weakness: Extremely overcomplicated; settings that should require seconds require lengthy searching through myriad, uncomprehensible -- heiroglyphic -- codes. Resets itself, extremely difficult to focus.

Once you read this, you'll know that I don't work for anyone that makes money from Nikon. I've read several glowing reviews on this camera and I can't image how the reviewers could laud such a beast. I'll concede that mine may be a lemon, but, I've used cameras for more than 30 years and this is the very worstI've ever come across. And, it is extremely difficult to use. The function controls are...

Nikon Coolpix 5700 5 Megapixel Compact Camera - 8.90...

Strengths: A great 5 megapixel camera that has a fantastic zoom lens. The additional telephoto adapter is well worth the expense.

Weakness: A little slow but not bad at all for a compact camera. The wide angle lens is heavy and large.

A really great camera with it's fixed zoom lens. I carry it in my SUV to take pictures at most any time. Easy to leave in the truck when I don't want to carry alot of gear. Used as a backup for my D1H and D100.

Nikon Coolpix 5700 5 Megapixel Compact Camera - 8.90...

Strengths: Picture Quality, Picture Quality, Picture Quality, Sharp 8X optical lens. 5 MP. Compact flash type I & II. Well-designed and packed with features

Weakness: Would like a manual fucus ring.

Superb pictures. The cleanest and most true to life pictures in digital cameras costing less than $1000. Although others have mentioned the problems with focusing low light, this is not a problem once the cameras switch to the single focus mode. The single focus mode also increases the battery life.

Nikon Coolpix 5700 5 Megapixel Compact Camera - 8.90...

Strengths: Ease of use based on previous CP5000 ownership. Improved lens and elimininaton of chromatic aberation.

Weakness: Left side buttons being exposed.

Zoom is teriffic. Better lens thean CP5000. Much better capabilities than 5000. Vewfinder is like SLR and much easier to use than LCD. Viewfinder info and clear and ability to see menu there is handy. Good feel and balance. Photos are excellent. Good autofocusing. Excellent macro photos.

Nikon Coolpix 5700 5 Megapixel Compact Camera - 8.90...

Strengths: Good size and feel. Quality is superb. Zoom lens has made for some fabulous close ups and excellently framed shots.

Weakness: Low light photography. It takes toooooo long to focus. Even using ASA of 800 doesn't solve it. Once it does take them, they are good. I have taken to using a monopod.

I also have a Nikon 990 - the improvement is amazing. I am up over 4,000 photos on this camera in 5 months. My shots on the 5700 matched those on a pro's D1X at a friends wedding. The lens quality and ease of use is great. Sure the manual is complex, but so is photography. This camera allows adjustments for almost any situation. The low light capability needs improvement. For now I recognize that...

Nikon Coolpix 5700 5 Megapixel Compact Camera - 8.90...

Strengths: Picture quality, lots of options, tele mode, strap.

Weakness: Battery life only 650mAh, starting memory is too small, sometimes there are noises while recording movie because microphone is nearby focus.

Shipped one day eariler than I expected it. Well packed. Camera generally is the best that I ever had. Pictures are great and clear. Best shot selector works very well. If you know photography trick you got excellent way to try it with this camera. But it's not big deal if you are novice. Very good manual will help you. Camera was shipped with all neccesary equipment. Only two things that you...

Nikon Coolpix 5700 5 Megapixel Compact Camera - 8.90...

Strengths: Great zoom lens. Lots of flexibility in using controls. It was hard to hold until I bought MB-E5700 battery pack that attaches to the base of the camera.

Weakness: The camera features take awhile to learn. Built in flash tends to produce pics on the lighter side. Flash pics are considerably better if you buy the SB-80DX speedlight.

I bought the Nikon 5700 because I wanted to use it for taking sports pictures and for other kinds of pictures around my home and for short road trips. It is very good for that. The camera features allow you to take pictures that reflect your tastes as far as saturation, focus, etc. I love the swiveling LCD screen, too. Because I use the battery pack, the camera is rather bulky for a digital when...

Strengths: 5 m.p.'s, feature rich, 8x zoom...well designed.

Weakness: none

This is an excellent camera. Buy far the best that I have used..and trust me I have had plenty, G2, 707, D30/40, just to name a few. The Nikon 5700 has a responsive small, compact metal body with every feature one could image. The image quality is exceptional. The color is glorious.
