Title: Save your money
Review: I've been trying to get good results with the Coolpix 5000, but with very limited success. The problem is the back light source -- and that the camera automatically zooms to 1.4x digital zoom. So, you start off with an iffy light source and the loss of image and resolution -- no thanks! It is also not exactly rugged material in construction, either.If you do get this, the best light source seems to be a light box (which I don't have) or setting your computer monitor to a blank word processing page and adjusting the monitor's brightness. On the other hand, experimenting with various light sources (color and intensity) could create a whole new avenue for manipulating the results, but I'd rather do that in Photoshop, etc.Bottom line: ok for fast and dirty, but forget it if you want high quality transfer from slide to digital. Save your money: get a print and scan it.
