Great camera. Excellent feel and build qualities. The camera is only limited by it's user. Can't go wrong for the money.

I purchased this camera to take to Disney World. I own a Nikon D70 and love it, but I did not want to carry all my heavy equipment around for six days. I was very pleased with the ease of use, compact size, and I have great quality pictures! I have received many compliments about the quality of the pictures. This is great because I am a serious scrapbooker and I would highly recommend this camera to anyone looking for a good quality camera.

Just what I wanted. I shoot Nikon already so it was easy to adjust to.

Although I am primarily a film person, I decided to add a small digital camrera to carry around and for family gatherings, etc. when I didn't want to lug my SLR/Medium Format gear with me. After months of dithering, reading reviews, and speaking with friends, I decided on the P5000. My choices were limited as I absolutely had to have an opital viewfinder. I chose this camera because it comined a decent price with a number of features that I liked. I 've only used it a few times, but with very good results. The digital interface is easy to use and I find it easier to go through the menus than I thought it would be. While slightly larger and heavier than some of the other models I looked at (Canon 710 IS), it fits easily into my coat or pants pocket or briefcase. Unless you are a very big person, it's probably not a good shirt pocket camera.The quality of the pictures so far is good and I'm still learning how to adapt the settings to my prefered way of shooting. Please bear in mind that I've shot film for over thirty years and this is a big change for me. So I've been pleasantly surprised how easy the shift has been.I have only two quibbles: (1) as with all small P&S digital cameras, the optical viewfinder is adequate at best. Still it is a viewfinder and I had to have that due to my inability to hold a camera steady. And second, after SLRs and medium format for so many years, I'm having trouble holding something so small. The VR helps a lot and it is always on for me.All in all, I'd recommend this camera.[...]

Nice camera for the price. Controls are similar to a digital SLR.

The P5000 is very compact and easy to use. All of the buttons and comands are very easy to learn. If you have exp with a SLR you will not have any problem with this camera. Best of all it takes great pictures and you can take it any place. I use it with an Epson 4 x 6 Picture Mate 240 and the pictures look Pro. Grab one and have fun.

Its a great little camera that has many functions of a SLR, focus is slow, lag time is not to slow once its focused. It has the advantage of Nikon advanced lighting, and is compatible with nikons iTTL flash guns (sb-400-600-800).

Its great for travel or when carrying a DSLR is not an option. The panoramic feature is fun, its got its own B&W mode, and a lot of other advanced functions.

I have all Nikon products, a D2X, D200, & D70. Wife and I went to Scotland for our 25th anniversary and I wanted something easy to carry but would provide good pictures - WOW - I couldn't have made a more wise choice !!! Great color, great battery life, intuative operation, and WONDERFUL photos. If you want and easy camera - consider no others and go with this one.
