Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon Camera Case for Coolpix 5700 or 8700 Digital CamerasCustomer Review: Watch Out!! Summary: 3 Stars
This is a very good camera if you intend to use it right out of the box exactly as it is. In my case, I always considered it a must to protect the lens with a UV filter. I reckoned that if I damage the lens on a camera of this nature, it's finished. However, attempting to acquire a UV filter for the 5700 or 8700 was a four month nightmare. My last camera was an Olympus C2500. It is an extremely fine camera in every respect except it was only 2.5 megapixels. Even so, reasonably sized images were excellent and with great foresight, Olympus threaded the end of the barrel to accept filters. The Nikon products are not threaded and require a confusing array of adapters and filters. So confusing that Nikon kept sending the wrong parts for 3 months. Neither the dealer, Wolf Camera, nor Nikon Technical support knew what they were talking about resulting in wrong parts coming and going for over three months. So plan on the fact that Nikon Technical support does not fully understand their own products and you will likely have to do your own research and waste lot's of time. Finally B & H camera in New York said they knew what I needed. So I spent even more money and the filter adapter and filters arrived. For the first time, the adapter was correct, but the filter and adapter ring caused shots to come out very dark. Evidently, the Tiffen adapter blocked some sort of sensor. The B & H tech asked me to unscrew the filter and adapter and see it the camera worked with just the barrel on it. It did. So I thought I might spend the $119.00 Nikon requires for their filter set. HOWEVER . . . I found the long barrel of the filter adapter causes a dark semi-circle on the images when using the standard flash. Another call to Nikon Technical support confirmed "THIS IS PERFECTLY NORMAL." I think most of you would agree that on a camera of this caliber, dark circles of an image at night are not acceptable. So, back to my original thought, if you intend to use the camera right out of the box it takes good shots. If you feel you might want to extend its capability or protect it with attachments or filters, you could be very disappointed. I've wasted four months just trying to protect the lens with a UV filter. I will be attempting to return the unit to the president of NIKON. A good camera should not generate this much frustration.
