Camera Overview — Nikon Coolpix 5700

The Nikon COOLPIX 5700 is a point-and-shoot camera built around a 5MP, 2/3-inch sensor capable of producing images at a maximum resolution of 2560x1920 pixels. Its magnesium alloy body measures 108 x 76 x 102 mm and weighs 512g, giving it a solid, substantial feel in hand. The camera features a 1.5-inch Vari-angle TFT LCD display with 110,000 dots of resolution — a flexible screen arrangement that allows shooting from awkward angles — paired with an Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) at 180,000 dots for bright-light composing.

ISO sensitivity runs from 100 to 800, offering a reasonable range for a camera of this era. Autofocus is handled via a contrast detection system with 5 focus points, though eye tracking and subject tracking are not supported. The COOLPIX 5700 includes a built-in pop-up flash alongside a standard ISO hot shoe for external flash use.

Storage is handled via CompactFlash media, and the camera connects to a computer via USB. The EN-EL1 Li-ion battery is rated for approximately 180 shots per charge. Color profiles include Standard and Monochrome.

A burst mode is available at up to 3 frames per second, and video capture is supported at 15fps in 8-bit. Image stabilization is not present in any form.
