CNET 5/11/2007 - has reviewed the Nikon Coolpix P5000 and they write, “Poor performance really drags down the Nikon Coolpix P5000, and unless you absolutely need a hot shoe for an external flash, it’s hard to recommend when compared to the less expensive, zippier Canon PowerShot A710 IS, with its faster and longer 6x zoom lens.”

Digital Camera Review - 4/30/2007 - reviews the Nikon Coolpix P5000 and they write, “The Nikon Coolpix P5000 provides a 10 megapixel sensor, excellent image and color quality, and an ergonomically excellent camera in a compact, easily portable package. Not only does the camera come with the full auto and specialty modes found in virtually every P&S, but a complete set of manual controls as well. This combined with the optional wide and telephoto converters gives the P5000 a versatility that could attract a varied group of shooters: those new to digital imagery can use the auto functions and be assured of quality images, while photographers who want or need the ability to go semi-automatic or manual get their wish as well.”

Digital Camera Review - 5/11/2007 - has taken the Nikon Coolpix P5000 for an initial test drive and they write, “I got my hands on a P5000 this morning, and after the battery charged I bumped the image quality from “normal” to “fine”, set it on “auto” and took some shots. Two hours later, a few things have become clear: this camera is a pleasure to shoot with – the handgrip body style makes for a solid feel, shutter performance looks pretty good, and image sharpness and color are first rate, both in direct sun and with flash. We’ll have a more in-depth review of this camera down the road, but based on today’s shoot Nikon has a winner on their hands.”

Photo Review - 4/16/2007 - reviews the Nikon Coolpix P5000 and they write, “It provides the P, A, S and M shooting modes enthusiasts require, along with a full auto setting. The menu system has two options, one resembling the menus on Nikon’s DSLR cameras and the other icon-based, which condenses four pages of menu functions into a single page of icons. Both are well-designed and easy to read and use. Sixteen scene modes are provided, along with seven movie modes, an Anti-Shake mode that combines VR stabilisation with BSS and boosted sensitivity plus a dedicated High-Sensitivity mode.”

Photoxels - 4/5/2007 - reviews the Nikon Coolpix P5000 and they write, “The Nikon Coolpix P5000 is an attractive camera with good handling and lots of practical features. Full exposure flexibility and effective VR technology make this camera attractive to those desiring something with more control than a point-and-shoot.”

Digital Camera Info - 3/10/2007 - has a “first impressions” review of the Nikon Coolpix P5000 for an initial test drive and they write, “The Nikon Coolpix P5000 is meant to bridge the gap between point-and-shoots and DSLRs. The “performance series” digital camera has some features that will attract Nikon DSLR owners. The P5000 has a hot shoe so users can attach their Speedlight accessory flashes. There is a variety of recording modes from manual to automatic and even a control dial and function button that will be familiar to the DSLR crowd. The camera is compact, but still has great handling features. With this in mind, the Nikon Coolpix P5000 is perfect for DSLR owners who don’t want to lug their D200s to dinner or a party and would rather have something compact but still full of features. It does have its caveats like relatively short battery life and perhaps more will appear on the final model. The pre-production P5000 that I viewed on the PMA show floor had a lot of strange quirks that hopefully won’t appear on the real deal. In the end, the $399 Nikon Coolpix P5000 is a good camera for current Nikon owners but there are better options for consumers who don’t own Speedlight flashes and don’t care for Nikon’s sub-par face priority system.”
