I am wanting to buy a new digital camera and am considering 2 models:
the Canon PowerShot G5 5 and the Nikon Coolpix 5400.
Does anyone have an experience with either of these cameras?
I can't afford to spend any more that what these cameras cost.
How is the zoom on these models?

Thank you for the help.

I have the coolpix 5000, but I think it is essentially the same thing as the 5400. The zoom on it is not bad, but I honestly don't use it that much.

Overall, I have been very pleased with the 5000. It is a very high quality camera.

I do photography as a living and I use a Nikon D1h and D100 for my main work. But sometimes I use a little 4300 for backup of light stuff like mountaineering and such.

I am looking to get a 5400, a great camera with great features too.
