ffejdraga 0 #2 May 11, 2004 for sure the Nikon Coolpix 5000 will. You need a piece from harbortronics to make it fire (which is about $55 called a digisnap. see www.harbortronics.com for more info) this camera has been discontinued, but are available used. The other option is if you know someone really good at soldering on PCB's, they can make a release for you. Actual results may vary good luck. jeff D-16906 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #3 May 11, 2004 The Digital Rebel kit is going for about $850 now. You might want to see about saving the extra bit and going with that...Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 20 #5 May 11, 2004 Same place you and I bought our Video cameras... Dbuys has the kit with the lens for $845. Cheap enough? Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
