3x Zoom Digital Camera with 5.0 Effective Megapixels

NEW

E5000

Something truly special in digital photography

Remarkable image quality with 5.0 effective megapixels

At the heart of the rugged cast-magnesium alloy body lies a 2/3-inch type CCD.

5.0 effective megapixels can capture razor-sharp pictures at a recording image size of up to 2,560 x 1,920 pixels. Nikon makes this new image-sensing CCD even more powerful using the latest image processing technology — an area in which Nikon is the undisputed leader — rendering crisp, brilliant images that leap off the page at print sizes as large as A3 size (297 x 420mm; 11 x 14 in.).

Superfine Zoom-Nikkor lens

Visibly different, the large, bright Nikkor lens confirms that, when the aim is perfection, optics come first. Indeed, Nikon lens designers responded to the challenge of this new camera by incorporating no less than three aspherical lens elementsin an outstanding execution. Light is introduced via a large-diameter aspherical lens that pares image distortion to an absolute minimum. The resulting 3x Zoom-Nikkor lens is the embodiment of Nikon optical performance, offering a focal range of 7.1-21.4mm (equivalent to 28-85mm in 35mm [135] format).

Rapid response

The COOLPIX 5000 is surprisingly fast: instant startup, high-speed autofocus, rapid zoom, and a shutter release that conveys the easy confidence of an AF SLR film camera. For Nikon, speed is a prerequisite, and with the COOLPIX 5000, speed has been engineered into every function and feature to create a camera that produces the results your photography demands and rival cameras can only strive to attain.

Creative potential

A photographer’s camera, the COOLPIX 5000 is ready to extend your creative possibilities with a host of digital features: versatile exposure and image controls such as white balance setting; an all-new clear image mode; noise reduction mode; numerous auto and manual focus functions; an extensive shutter speed range of 1/4,000 to 8 seconds; and precision aperture settings. Lighting needs are handled with a built-in Speedlight and an accessory shoe for an external Nikon Speedlight.
