The Coolpix 5700 is a compact, lightweight camera with 5.0 effective megapixels and a powerful 8x Zoom-Nikkor precision optical zoom lens. With a 35mm equivalent range of 35-280mm, it contains two elements of Nikon's famous ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass for crisp, contrasty images of superb quality.
Multiple capture modes can be selected, including a RAW image (NEF format) recording mode for untouched image quality, and movies with audio for up to 60 seconds. The COOLPIX 5700 also has a built-in speaker, making instant confirmation playback of movies possible.
