Does anyone have the coolpix 5700 and if so, how do you get around the weak low light autofocusing? Personally I'd like a firmware update to correct this. Perhaps a laser attatchment or something that would work with the firmware update. Also an upgrade to recognize and work with my DTTL flash would be another nice firmware upgrade. Being able to shoot in raw mode is a plus though.

Wish I could add something or help in some way...unfortunately I don't have that camera. Maybe some others here do? Have you tried this website? They may have something there about updates or at least a Coolpix forum where other users are sure to be found....?

I am, therefore I create.......

Fred Miranda (www.fredmiranda.com) or Berman Graphics (bermangraphics.com)are sources for info. Nikon is at (www.nikonnet.con) and there are groups on Yahoo. Damn nasty problem that Nikon ought to address. Bill

Outdoor shots work great but don't count on capturing the moment indoors.

nikon just updated the firmware on the d1 series of cameras... maybe coolpix is coming next.

Iza hopen..iza hopen. The DTTL function would be a start.

Regardless of the camera and who manufactures it, auto-focus is only accurate when there is enough light and contrast for it to discern a sharp edge... My suggestion would be to learn to focus manualy. Relying on auto-focus to decide what part of the image should be the sharpest point is a sure road to dissapointment.

Good point.
