Default Does Nikon make decent cameras?

I am being offered a new Nikon Coolpix 5400 as a partial trade on some computer parts. I did some reasearch and this camera was released in 2003, but that doesn't bother me. I'm not a hardcore photo guy, but I have been looking for a good camera to learn.

Nikon makes better SLR's than point-n-shoots in my opinion.

Their SLR's rock the party.

But their digital cameras aren't that hot IMO.

At the Echo Times office, we've got an old Nikon Coolpix 3500 and in my opinion, it's a POS.
The auto-focus is slow and easily confused, the hardware interface sucks and the image quality is marginal.

Some of these issues might apply to the 5400.

Go see what the folks at CNET had to say about it.
