Roberta Leon this week reviews the brand new Nikon Coolpix P5000. Roberta, an aspiring photographer from Morton Grove, Ill., loves the amount of features Nikon crammed into the small size of the P5000. She says:
This camera seems a happy compromise between a pocket-size point-and-shoot and a DSLR. Possibly too much camera for a rank amateur, but for those of us who are aspiring photographers it offers the ability to shoot quickly when photographing a toddler as well as allowing full control experimentation when more time for shooting is available.
A couple readers responded to last week's newsletter tip with more interesting solutions to shooting in museums or other situations without flash. Jack from Scottsdale, AZ has a tip that is pretty ingenious:
Instead of a monopod, try using a light chain or stout cord (fishing line?). Fasten it around a screw that fits in the tripod mount. Then let it drape on the floor and step on it. Raising the camera in tension, pulling on the cord will stabilize it for slow shutter speed photographs. Afterwards it can be wound up and put in a pocket.
