Full Review - Conclusion
Conclusion
The Nikon Coolpix P5000 is a good camera and would’ve gotten a higher grade if there weren’t issues with responsiveness—saving files as well as focusing. It has a nice feel and is light enough to take anywhere. Overall photo quality was good, not dazzling. Is it a replacement for a D-SLR? Of course not. Still, at under $350 USD, it’s definitely worth considering.
Pros:
• Good image quality
• Many manual adjustments
• Solid free imaging software
Cons:
• Slow response, hard capturing running children for example
• Focus also slower than competitors
