Nikon 5400/Fuji E550/Canon A95

[dbeatle123]

I posted earlier about needing a camera for amateur aerial photography and also product shots for a website and just all around use. After alot of deliberation I had the field narrowed slightly, but this morning I noticed that Nikon is offering a $200 mail-in rebate on the Coolpix 5400. If you buy the camera from a website like zipzoomfly.com for about $480 then apply the rebate of $200 that brings the price down to $280. For that price, is there really anything better?

Thanks,

Dave

Ok, so now I found out that there is also a firmware upgrade for the 5400.

Is this not the best deal going?? Unless someone with this camera tells me that it really stinks I think that the Coolpix 5400 is what I will have to do.

Any ideas?

Well, it ain't bad, that's for sure....

Newegg.com has it for $475. I've read good things about that company.

If you ask me this package is a fantastic deal. The reviews for this camera are great and certainly I think it performs better then any camera in this price range.

Thanks to everyone at dcresource.com who is responsible for the best, nonbiased reviews out there.
