Unleash Your Creativity - The Nikon Coolpix P5000 Digital Camera Produces Superior Image Quality with Flexible Control.

The P5000 boasts 10 effective megapixels, a 3.5x Zoom-Nikkor glass lens, an optical viewfinder, and an incredible, bright high resolution 2.5-inch LCD monitor with anti-reflection coating. The P5000 incorporates a new advanced image processing engine, which optimizes low light performance and color reproduction, and Nikon's optical VR image stabilization, which compensates for camera shake.

Designed for the photographer who enjoys a high level of control, advanced imaging technologies and the ability to take creative control of their photography - the Coolpix P5000 will be compatible with system-expanding accessories that will allow you to take your creativity and images to new heights.

High performance and superior image quality are the hallmarks of the Coolpix P5000. With 10 megapixels of resolution, photographers can capture the finest details in their images, as well as have the ability to crop creatively and produce beautiful large prints. The 3.5x Zoom-Nikkor glass lens provides compositional versatility when zooming in for tight close ups or zooming out to capture expansive landscapes.

The P5000 provides optical VR image stabilization, which helps compensate for camera shake to produce sharper images. The VR stabilizes images displayed on the 2.5-inch LCD, which makes it easier to frame and capture images. Another advantage of the optical VR image stabilization is that it helps achieve smoother action in the movie shooting modes of the P5000 and when using the optional TC-3ED Tele converter with 378mm of telephoto performance.

The Coolpix P5000 features a new advanced image processing engine with enhanced noise reduction and an improved signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio that preserves image quality even when shooting at high ISO settings. The P5000 extends the light sensitivity range to ISO 3200*, which makes it possible to capture fast moving subjects with outstanding clarity, even in lower light conditions.

Coolpix P5000 users can take advantage of the new mode dial which provides quick access to a selection of 16 different scene-optimized modes, seven movie modes, Anti-Shake mode and High Sensitivity mode. A turn of the mode dial to Anti-Shake mode activates High ISO and Best Shot Selector (BSS) in addition to VR, which automatically sets the optimal ISO for steady results and will allow users to select and save the best image from up to ten sequential shots. In addition, the mode dial has the choice of Programmed Auto [P], Shutter-priority Auto [S], Aperture-priority Auto [A], and Manual [M] exposure modes for even greater camera control.

The Coolpix P5000 features a new menu interface that makes navigating and selecting images simple, while providing easy access to advanced functions for enhancing and correcting images. This includes everything from the new image optimization settings, which offer a choice of four color filters for shooting with monochrome filter effects, to barrel distortion control, which can correct images when using a wide-angle converter and can display the corrected image on the LCD in real time.

The Coolpix P5000 has three Nikon In-Camera Image Innovations to correct common photo problems. This system includes Face-priority AF, which can automatically find and focus on a subject's face, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, which automatically corrects red-eye, and D-Lighting, an innovation that automatically creates a copy of the image with detail added where necessary, but with well-exposed areas left completely untouched. Because the P5000 has a 2.5-inch high resolution LCD monitor with anti-reflection coating, viewing the monitor is easy even in bright sunlight. The Coolpix P5000 also features a new optical viewfinder for those photographers who prefer a classic composition aid.

The Coolpix S50 Features:

  • Unleash the Photographer in You
  • 10.0 Megapixels for stunning prints as large as 20 x 30 inches.
  • 3.5x Optical Zoom-Nikkor Glass Lens provides exceptional pictures with incredible color and clarity.
  • Optical Vibration Reduction Image Stabilization minimizes the effect of camera shake.
  • Incredible, bright 2.5-inch high resolution LCD and Optical Viewfinder makes it easy to compose and share your pictures with friends and family.
  • Program, Aperture, Shutter and Manual exposure modes gives you as much control over your pictures as you want.
  • Auto adjusts up to ISO 3200 (5MP or lower) to keep shooting, even in lower light.
  • Available Telephoto and Wide Angle adapters to expand the camera's capabilities along with your own.
  • Hot Shoe for i-TTL-compatible Nikon Speedlights.
Nikon In-Camera Innovations featuring:
  • In-Camera Red-Eye Fix(TM) automatically fixes most instances of red-eye in the camera. You may never see red-eye again.
  • Face-Priority AF - Nikon's face-finding technology that automatically focuses on faces, and D-Lighting that rescues dark or backlit images by improving brightness and detail where needed.

"I really like this camera. I purchased a Coolpix S10 about a month ago because of it's 10x optical zoom and sale price. It broke after about 2 weeks so I returned it and picked up a P5000. Wow!!! What a difference. Giving up the extra zoom was a small price to pay for all of the additional featur …"  Read Full Review »

I was looking for a camera that I could throw in a pocket and take out with me. Taking out my SLR was an all day affa …"  Read Full Review »
