    Nikon Coolpix 5700 replacement battery cover

    A year or so ago, I bought a second hand Coolpix 5700 for my girlfriend but it was listed as having a broken battery cover.

    From D70 to D5500 brings me here

    I have been interested in photography for 35 years and have usually stuck with the same bit of kit for many years before upgrading. For 20 years, I had Pentax bodies having been persuaded to buy an ME Super in 1979 and it seemed to make sense to stick with one brand in order to get the most out...
