NEW

E5000

3x Zoom Digital Camera with 5.0 Effective Megapixels

Something truly special in digital photography

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.

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 elements

in 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

).
