This was a great camera back in 2003! I bought mine to replace an old Kodak digital.would i buy it now at this price? not a chance- it's outmoded and obsolete.

This replaced my 20 year old Nikon 35mm SLR. Other than the Nikon Coolpix 5700 came with a 16mb memory card which is completely inadequate and was replaced with a 2gb card, it's a fantastic little camera. It's so easy to operate that my wife ended up taking the majority of the pictures on our recent vacation. The battery holds a charge well, and the optics are of typical Nikon quality. I'd recomment this camera both for experienced and newer users.

These comments are tempered by this being the first experience with a digital SLR camera. My previous camera work has been with a "mechanical" SLR, with a full complement of lenses. It has been an experience to have all the attachments as part of the camera. Nikon did a good job in incorporating most of the most commonly used "accessories" into a package that is about 1/2 the size of my other camera. Now, all I have to do is assimilate 170+ pages of instructions from the handbook. They could have done a better job on preparing the book by grouping like items together Another suggestion is to have a person unfamiliar with the equipment read and edit the book.
