The Nikon Coolpix 5700 is a good overall digital camera! I took mine on a trek to Portugal for 3 months, and it never let me down once. It is a very strong little camera!!

I have owned the Nikon Coolpix 5700 digital camera for about a year. It has quite a decent camera, with SLR-like type. The only thing that I hate is the super grainy effect when using high ISO, for example, 400 or underexposed photo's.

This Nikon Coolpix 5700 digital camera has good and bad points. The 5700 makes great images in open sunlight, often with flash at 14' or less and at night or where the image noise reduction is engaged, only below 1/30th sec. shutter and ISO of 100 or 200 Max. The lens is very good in bright light but is to slow to use at full zoom in to many situations. With maximum apertures from f 2.8 to f 4.2 at full zoom the shutter speed is forced to low to take telephoto shots without motion blur from camera shake. Mine had lots of problems focusing for several months. Forums for Nikon folks blamed me and not the camera. I sent the 5700 to Nikon where they did in fact fix part of the focus issue but, it wasn't until Nikon released a new firmware Ver. 1.1 was the focus issue fixed to where it worked within reason. By that time I was fed up and sold it for about half of the $1200 I paid about 7 months before. In my mind this is a very unreasonable loss in that short time.

Excuse my english, I bought this Nikon Coolpix 5700 digital camera 3 weeks ago and I take around 2000 pictures with it. But today I return this camera to the store and will probably buy the new Canon Rebel. I don't like the Coolpix 5700 because it has a very very slow focus and I loose a lot of picture because what I take is moving! I have a cheap digital camera that my wife use and she take better picture then me!
So take care before buying this camera, try it carrefully or ensure that you have the possibility of exchange or refund if you don't like it!

Mines Nikon Coolpix 5700 has got a "hot" pixel in the centre. Not too much of a problem as I always load the pictures into photoshop before printing but it's still annoying. I do like the camera though.

Terrible Auto Focus I agree. It was a lot of money for a camera that only really lasted 18 months. Now I need to change it again.

<br>It is of course all relitively new technoligy, so should we complain? Nothing is perfect, and yet everything is also. Amazing, a box that takes such (imperfect) pictures. Still like my roll film EOS 1N. Like driving a classic car. Quality!
