Background

The Nikon Coolpix E5700 is a digital camera utilizing both a digital viewfinder and monitor. These cameras were the first Coolpix to incorporate an electronic viewfinder and use Nikon’s exclusive Extra-lox Dispersion glass for exceptional picture quality. The Nikon Coolpix E5700 cameras are known for unprovoked sensor problems, an issue which prompted Nikon to extend a service advisory.

The E5700 is a versatile model with good image quality and numerous features, including:

  • Record images in TIFF-RGB (uncompressed), JPEG or NEF raw
  • Quick Review feature for instant playback
  • Shutter speeds from 1/4000 sec. to 8 secs
  • Programmed Auto (with Shift), Shutter-Priority, Aperture-Priority and Full Manual
  • ISO sensitivity of Auto, 100, 200, 400 or 800
  • Matrix Auto White Balance plus Fine, Incandescent, Fluorescent, Cloudy, Speedlight and Custom Preset

The Nikon Coolpix E5700 was succeeded by the Coolpix 8700, both of which are now discontinued.
