Great Nikon Coolpix 5000 5MP Camera Secrets

Except for it being unresponsive (by the time it’s ready to shoot, the moment is gone) it’s been a good camera for the 16 months I’ve had it… but it failed recently, and Nikon had little to say about why, how, or how I could prevent it from happening again. In fact, the people at Penn Camera seemed to be surprised that I wanted to know exactly what work was done (”Nikon never gives that information”). After explaining it by way of analogy—”what if when you picked up your car from repair shop, the serviceman said ‘we fixed it… you don’t need to know what specifically was wrong, or what we did, you just need to pay up’ … how would you feel? Seems criminal, doesn’t it.”—they came around, but still couldn’t tell me anything.

So… I’m no longer a happy Nikon customer. If you’re thinking of buying Nikon products, factor reapir costs in to the price.
