This is the information you get from Nikon about the new Coolpix 5400:

- 5.1 effective megapixels
- High-quality 4x wideangle Zoom-Nikkor ED lens with focal range of 28-116mm (35mm [135] format equiv.)
- Continuous shooting of up to 7 full-size (2,592 x 1,944-pixel) pictures at 3 frames per second (fps)
- 15 versatile preset Scene Modes
- Stunning Macro shooting capability as close as 1cm (0.4 in.)
- New AE-BSS (Auto Exposure-BSS) for automatic selection of the best relative exposure
- New 5 shot buffer mode retains the last 5 shots to ensure that an unexpected or fleeting moment won't be missed
- New Time-lapse movie mode enables creation of Motion JPEG sequence
- Repeating Flash function for stroboscopic image capture
- Accessory shoe to accommodate attachment of external Nikon SB-series Speedlights
- Vari-angle Highly Transmissible Advanced TFT-LCD monitor
- Tough, lightweight magnesium (Mg) alloy body
- Superior system versatility, featuring compatibility with a wide range of COOLPIX converter lenses

Since Canon comes obviously also with a new PowerShot G5 with 5MB Chip, time will tell what will be the better choice...
