Biggest downfall for me and the reason I'm moving up is non interchangeable lenses. If you are going to get real serious you need a slr that you can change lenses on. Mike |

Been using a 5400 for a couple of months - it's a great camera. But I'd say get the camera with the best lenses you can afford - so if you want a 5700 - go for it Rob www.findingviews.com |

I have a 5000 (last years model). I think it is great for what I bought it for which is close up nature photography. The images are crisp and nicely interpreted by the camera in all of the different file formats it offers. However, I don't like it for shooting photographs of people. It moves to slowly and there are to many hard to access functions. I have had a lot of problems with the flash. It blows out my subject if I'm close and under exposes when I'm far. There doesn't seem to be an in between. In talking with others who own this camera I have found that they have similar issues. Also, remember that when you are using the 8x optical you are losing pixels and creating a smaller file size than what your camera offers. You could just as easily create that effect in an editing program. It may not be wise to base your decision on the optical capabilities. Hope that helps. E. Hand |
