If you've had enough of your artistic ideas being limited by your old camera, take a look at the five megapixel C-5000ZOOM. Whether you want to capture the textures and tones in city scenes, moody portraits or the setting sun dancing over a bay, this camera always rises to the challenge. Full manual control is complemented by precision metering systems and automatic options for those times when you have to shoot fast to get the shot. And if you need more light, that can easily be arranged. This compact model features a hot shoe connection for an external flash.
