Nikon 5400??

[AndyS2]

Has anybody had any experience of the Nikon 5400? I've got a Canon Ixus 330 at the moment and I'm looking to upgrade, the Nikon with its extra manual controls, ability to attach different lenses and filters, good macro lens and it's flash hotshoe looks like what I'm after.
Any comments appreciated, my budget is around £400.

Can't comment personally but you'll find loads at www.dpreview.com and www.stevesdigicams.com.

Or Google for 'Nikon 5400 review'. I'm sure they'll be good.

I have the coolpix 5700 and it is a great camera. It is basically the same as the 5400 but comes with a 8x zoom lens which is fantastic. A quick peek at Jessops web site shows both cameras at £499.

You will have to budget for at least 2 extra batteries as mine eats batteries.

I know it's more than you want to spend, but if you're taking your photography seriously - and it looks like you are - what about saving up for a DSLR like the stonking new (and cheap for what it does) Nikon D70??

I've already read most of the reviews on the web, I just wanted to hear from someone who had used one for a while to see what they think.
I had a look at the D70, nice camera but just a little over my budget at the moment I think something like that will be my next upgrade a few years down the line!!
I'll let you know how I get on when I get one.

Cheers
