A word about the slow processor

By todays standards, the processor in the Nikon 5400 is sloooow. Images take several seconds to write to the memory card, too long of a time in the photography world that can cause you to miss a spontaneous or action shot.

However for macro and wide-angle shots, where speed isn't an issue, this camera is hard to beat in it's class

Things I like about the Nikon 5400

  • 28mm (35mm equivalent) wide angle lens
  • well designed
  • exceptional build quality
  • packed with features
  • excellent macro mode
  • twist and turn LCD, albeit small (1.5")
  • hot shoe

Things I dislike about the FZ3

  • slow processor
  • no autofocus assist lamp
  • did I say, slow processor
  • poor low light focusing
