'Just a cursory glance at this camera suggests there's a lot of technology that's been plundered from Nikon's current flagship compact, the Coolpix 5700.'
'Clunky, sluggish interface No AF illuminator, poor low light focusing Does not fully support Nikon Speedlites Small LCD No RAW mode yet (most of competition has it) Flimsy plastic door over CF slot No live histogram in record mode'
'Although this was slightly evident in the macro shot, Nikon still blows the competition away, capturing a tiny area of 24 x 18mm – extreme detail is clearly visible in the photo.'
'In contrast to the overall build quality of the camera, the door covering the Type II CompactFlash slot (which also handles IBM Microdrives) feels very flimsy.'
'Both the shutter release and the refresh rate on the LCD screen are disappointing - and, surprisingly, the extra megapixel doesn't seem to add any extra sharpness at all.'
'The downside of proprietary batteries like the BP-511 is the cost ($50) and the fact that you can't use standard batteries (as you can with AA-based cameras) if you're in a bind.'
'the 32MB CompactFlash card seems stingy ??? fortunately, there's support for Microdrives too.'
