Connectivity

Software

The Nikon Coolpix P5000 comes with a CD-ROM in the box with PictureProject organizational and editing software on it.

Jacks, ports, plugs

The P5000 has two rubber covers on the right side of the camera. The larger one covers the USB/AV jack, and the smaller one covers the power adapter port. These are well-sealed.

Direct Print Options

The Nikon P5000 has a printing tab from the playback menu, but it wasn’t accessible from the preproduction model. The camera is expected to be compatible with PictBridge printers.

Battery

A rechargeable lithium-ion EN-EL5 battery comes with the P5000. It doesn’t get a lot of mileage with only 250 shots per charge. This is a bit disappointing for a camera that flaunts its performance abilities as its best feature.

Memory

The Nikon P5000 has 21MB of internal memory and accepts SD and SDHC memory cards. It cannot accept MMC media.

Other features

Audio Voice Recording – Grouped with the scene modes is a voice recording mode that has nothing to do with snapping pictures. Instead, it can record up to 5 hours with the built-in microphone and play it back with the built-in speaker.
