I understand that both models allow for some form of manual control(?) and this is a feature I am looking for. But which model to consider? 5400 or 5700? I am also looking at taking some night shots.

Would appreciate current camera owners' views on their experience with the respective models.

i use a 35mm nikon [f55] and have been an ardent supporter of nikon products. BUT since you are specifically looking for decent manual control, my suggestion would be a minolta dimage 7i. the picture quality is not as good as nikon coolpix 5700 -> but that is the compromise. if you insist on a nikon [won't blame you], get 5400
