Nikon Coolpix P5000 Review by DP Review
After the shiny pebble styling of the previous P series generation the P5000 is a welcome return to the slim shape of cameras such as the Coolpix 7900, complete with a decent grip and anti-slip rubber body panels
DP Review Reviewed the Nikon Coolpix P5000 and gave out”the P5000 is a product that - like so many we look at - has an achilles heel that we feel is important enough to reduce its rating, because it has a serious effect on the overall usability of an otherwise excellent camera. Put simply it feels sluggish in use and has focus speeds that would have been considered ‘average’ 5 years ago. For many users it won’t be a serious issue, but if you’ve got used to the focus speeds of the best cameras in this class (some of which focus 2 or even 3 times faster) it’s irritating, to say the least, to miss shots because the focus takes too long. I found myself pre-focusing for virtually every shot to avoid the delay.”

Nikon Coolpix S200 Review By GoodGearGuide
Nikon’s new Coolpix S200 is a stylish, ultra-thin, and eminently pocketable 7 megapixel digital camera with a large 2.5″ LCD screen, a 38-114mm (35mm equivalent) Nikkor Zoom, eVR (electronic vibration reduction), a High-Sensitivity mode, intuitive controls and logical menus, good battery life, Face-priority AF, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix, and Nikon’s proprietary D-Lighting function.
Digital Camera Review reviewed the Nikon Coolpix S200 and gave out”The S200 is tough enough to go just about anywhere and simple enough to be used effectively by just about anyone. The snazzy little S200 (like the original 35mm Olympus Stylus) is the sort of pocket camera a professional photographer might carry for grab shots and to record personal images while on assignment.”

Nikon Coolpix P5000 Review by Cnet
Poor performance really drags down the Nikon Coolpix P5000, and unless you absolutely need a hot shoe for an external flash, it’s hard to recommend when compared to the less expensive, zippier Canon PowerShot A710 IS, with its faster and longer 6x zoom lens.
Cnet Reviewed the Nikon Coolpix P5000 and gave out”The good: The Nikon Coolpix P5000 has optical image stabilization and excellent exposure, color, and sharpness.The bad: Slow; LCD unusable in bright sunlight; highly inconsistent color across different ISO sensitivity levels; unusually strong barrel distortion at widest angle despite relatively narrow 36mm-equivalent angle of view.
The bottom line: A few performance issues with the Nikon Coolpix P5000 diminish the appeal of an otherwise nice compact camera for amateurs. ”

Nokia N95 Review By Pcmag
Most powerful multimedia phone in the USA. Five-megapixel camera. Luxurious features.No 3G support. All those features really drain the battery. Individual features aren’t as good as best-of-breed single-purpose products, but c’mon.
Pcmag Reviewed the Nokia N95 and gave out”The super-powered Nokia N95 doesn’t really compete with anything else. It’s frankly the ultimate technology demo from the world’s number one cell-phone company. Not a PC, a phone, or really a PDA; it’s in truth a multimedia convergence all-in-one super-gadget. Buy one because you want to do more on the go…”

Nikon Coolpix S200 Review By GoodGearGuide
A disappointing compact camera from Nikon, the Coolpix S200 has numerous imaging issues which mean that it’s smooth, stylish design isn’t enough to make it an attractive option.
GoodGearGuide reviewed the Nikon Coolpix S200 and gave out”The S200 fairs a little better in design. It is as slim, metallic unit which slips easily into a pocket and has a sturdy, tough feel to it. The somewhat angular shape, combined with minimalist aesthetic makes it look quite smooth, and it should suit people after an eye catching device to show off to their friends. The controls are all fairly standard, with a five-way directional pad and menu key doing the brunt of the work. Nikon has forgone a function wheel or mode switch on this model, instead using a simple ‘Mode’ button to switch between the various configurations. Everything is relatively easy to use and the menu is kept nice and simple, so novices will have no trouble.”

Nikon CoolPix P5000 Review By DigitalCameraReview
The P5000’s full complement of manual and auto control options should appeal to a wide range of shooters - a novice can set it on auto and forget about anything but picture composition, while the more experienced shooter can choose manual or semi-auto input modes to exert more creative input into their images.
