Nikon COOLPIX 5700 Feature Highlights
- Powerful new 8x optical zoom lens
- The new lens' focal range of 8.9~71.2mm (equivalent to 35-280mm in 35mm [135] format) lets your photographic vision extend from breathtaking wideangles to intense super-telephoto images, from penetrating the far distance to exploring the unequalled creativity of macro performance in the telephoto zoom range. The lens features two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens elements that minimize chromatic aberration, for crisp, clear shots -- even up close. And for even greater magnification, the COOLPIX 5700 offers 4x digital zoom capability taking the focal length to a staggering approx. 1,132 mm equivalent.
- 5.0 effective megapixels + image-processing algorithm = Nikon quality
- In order to ensure image quality worthy of the Nikon name, we’ve incorporated a 2/3-inch type CCD, which combines with the 8x Zoom-Nikkor lens to deliver super-sharp, 5.0-megapixel images at 2,560 x 1,920 pixels. Nikon's proprietary image-processing algorithm enables accelerated processing and, along with the 12-bit A/D input, ensures faithful color reproduction with the smooth gradation of film. Prints of these breathtaking images hold up well beyond A3 (297 x 420mm) size.
- User-friendly hi-tech features
- Never before has such an advanced a digital camera offered so many simple to use features. The Electronic ViewFinder (EVF) provides enhanced frame coverage and a bright preview, and the Vari-angle LCD makes shooting easy regardless of the camera position. Both present images almost instantly. When ambient light is insufficient, the intelligent built-in Speedlight automatically pops up. Checking results is instantaneous with the Quick Review button, and the plug-and-play USB interface propels pictures to your computer, where Nikon software is ready to organize them. The compact, tough, ergonomically designed magnesium (Mg)-alloy body ensures comfort, control and traditional Nikon reliability.
- Creative potential
- The COOLPIX 5700 offers an array of innovative digital features. Versatile exposure and in-camera image controls inspire creativity while shooting. Whether you need instant JPEG images or pure RAW image (NEF format) data, the supplied Nikon View 5 or optional Nikon Capture 3 software maximize the potential of your results with image management and editing tools dedicated to the needs of the digital photographer. Creative potential is further enhanced by fully integrated accessories, including powerful Nikon Speedlights and converter lenses to extend focal range.
