Reviewed on: 29 May 2007
Tags: nikon, edge, brightness, macro
We like:
Optical image stabilisation and excellent exposure; colour; sharpness
We don't like:
Slow; LCD unusable in bright sunlight; highly inconsistent colour across different ISO sensitivity levels; unusually strong barrel distortion at widest angle despite relatively narrow 36mm-equivalent angle of view
CNET.co.uk judgement:
A few performance issues with the Nikon Coolpix P5000 diminish the appeal of an otherwise nice compact camera for amateurs

A great little camera, but don't pay too much attention to the giant numbers and gimmicks

The Fujifilm FinePix F60fd may boast 12 megapixels, but we're more interested in the ginormous screen, face detection 3.0 and ninja styling
