The Coolpix 5000 is Nikon's newest flagship of the Coolpix line with a 5-megapixel CCD
imager housed in a compact and durable magnesium body. It's Nikon's first digital
camera with the ability to record movies with audio and has both a microphone and
speaker built in. Supplied with a 32MB CF card, Nikon EN-EL1 rechargeable lithium
battery and charger and NikonView 4 software.
Building on the feature set of the Coolpix 995, the Coolpix
5000 is equipped with a new 3x optical (28-85mm equiv 35mm) Zoom-Nikkor lens with
enhanced wideangle and a stepless 4x digital zoom. It accepts most optional Nikkor-
Coolpix lenses (using optional step-down rings) and accessories including Fisheye, a new
19mm Wide Angle, and Telephoto converter lenses. A builtin, multi-mode Speedlight with a
hotshoe for external Nikon Speedlights, a real 7-bladed lens diaphram for true depth of
field control, Nikon’s advanced image-processing algorithms provide exceptional color
and a new Noise Reduction system for dramatically improved long exposure pictures. The
Quick Review function lets you confirming captured images at the press of a button and
then return quickly to record mode.
The fully articulating, 270°, 1.8" LCD monitor swivels in any direction
for easy subject framing even in crowded situations. Stop action with top shutter
speed of 1/4,000 second and 3-frames per second shooting, up to 3 frames
or 1.5 frames per second, up to 10 frames. White Balance Bracketing
and Noise Reduction Mode for stunning color balance and removal of digital
artifacts in 1/4 second or longer exposures. Clear Image Mode gives you
highly accurate color, low noise, smooth edged and wide dynamic range
images at resolutions of 1280 x 960 and below.
The Coolpix 5000 sports a full range of exposure options; Program AE, Flexible Program,
Shutter speed priority, Aperture priority, Full Manual, AE Bracketing of both the
exposure value and white balance and Best Shot Selector. Shutter speeds from 8 to
1/4000sec plus Bulb (max. 5 minutes) and aperture settings from F2.8 to F10.3. Drive
