Where can I find the Coolpix 5000 now?

[mpenza]

I tried Cathay Photo and it's out of stock. If you could give me the price as well, it'll be great!

I'm inquiring on behalf of a colleague.

Anything against this camera? It's one of the few with wide lens that is a requirement.

Price should be $1500-1600. Yeah, it's one of the very few with lenses that start at 28mm equivalent.

That one looks so horrible, so plasticky-looking.

And with the WC-E68, the Coolpix 5000 gives you a unprecedented 19mm equivalent. That's a 99° field of view!

compactness is another requirement. The Dimage 7 would be too big.
