If you want this camera to fail, buy it [Posted on 2007-03-13]
You do not want to get any Nikon cameras from the last 4~5 years. Most of them use the SONY CCD sensor, which has been failing like crazy as of late. Of course, for the 5400, Nikon finally fessed up and decided to issue a service advisory. But the company's repair record is so spotty that I've decided never to buy a Nikon again. They tried to "fix" my sensor the 1st, and ended up breaking the control system. My camera is now in for its 3rd "redo."
Don't buy this camera unless you like non-functioning cameras and nonexistent service.
Warrenty on repair [Posted on 2007-06-26]
To the chase,
Good camera and I thought all was lost when ...
The camera sensor went out after 4 years or so. Nikon has a recall and will fix it if yours should go out. Screen black or as mine pink and smeary looking. Sent to Nikon fixed for free in about 3 weeks.
But anyway. just passing this on.
Search coolpix recall for more information. It was hard to find at Nikon web sight.
Amazing quality, love Nikon, but definitely NOT a pocket camera.... [Posted on 2007-07-05]
I love this camera. It had a small defect with an electronic part, but is promptly fixed by Nikon service. The only downside is the size, which I thought I wouldn't mind, but recently has become more and more cumbersome for me. I think I might sell it and by a smaller Nikon that's more pocket-sized...
great manual mode [Posted on 2007-07-13]
I've heard many negative reports about the 5400 but I am well pleased with mine mostly because of it's many modes and especially manual mode.
It's easy to operate and intuitive.
5400 has issues! [Posted on 2007-10-12]
Check nikonusa web for coolpix service advisory. Some of the 5400 and others have
possible component failures, as many reviewers described before. My 5400 had CCD
issue (I use it very lightly) and Nikon USA repair it for free (Thank God!) But
that will make me think twice about the quality of the Nikon camera when I plan to
purchase another. In fact, I am looking for a P&S camera and for sure I won't put
Nikon's on the top of my list. Nikon 5400 will be my first and last Nikon product.
