The 5700 is much quicker than the 5000 as far as shutter lag, but the lens is much slower. At 280mm full zoom, it's a slow f8.9. I did not notice a lag when shooting the 5700 at wide open(35mm). The E-20 has a much better lens for zooming than the Coolpix. Both have TTL flash capability, but the 5700 lacks a PC socket. And both can be used on the Quantum Compact One. The Coolpix can be fitted with the Nikon AA battery pack. Makes it look more professional that way. I do find the 5700 viewfinder annoying, and the screen is smaller than the Coolpix 5000. Get a E-20 Sonny, you'll feel better. Or maybe the new Fuji S2? 6mp instead of 5mp, and ED glass. On a Leica note, that Digilux big screen blows 'em all away.
