Award Winner

American Photo Editor’s Choice 2007 Award

The editors at American Photo and Popular Photography have awarded one of their highest honors to the Nikon COOLPIX P5000 compact digital camera. The COOLPIX P5000 was given an American Photo Editor’s Choice 2007 Award and crowned the “Camera of the Year” in the digital compact camera category. Dan Richards and Russell Hart emphasized that the P5000 has a lot of great features that are usually found in Nikon’s digital SLR line. The P5000’s top-deck command dial allowed faster than usual camera settings for compact cameras. Richards and Hart applauded the P5000’s quick manual exposure control, Vibration Reduction, face recognition, D-Lighting and its panorama mode.
