Hi Alvaro
I've got a Coolpix 5000. I do a lot of simulateous video and camera shooting with it, and I use it quite a bit with the 1280 x 960 fast frame option (up to 60 shots at aprox 0.5 secs per shot).
The thing I like least about my CPix 5000 is that it seems to handle medium light levels (eg really good natural light indoors) very poorly. I have often wondered if mine is faulty but perhaps it is a weakness of the camera. I also notice that increasing the apperture or upping the light levels with 2 500W spots does not help as much as I would expect it to.
What I do to increase shutter speed is up the ISO to either 200 or 400, however at 400 the image noise is pretty bad. I then run the images through a set of PS actions by Fred Miranda that do a pretty good job of reducing that noise.
I think perhaps you should consider a new camera - the Cannon 10D is said to perform exceptionally well in low light conditions, and I expect the cheaper EOS300 (somtheing like that) which is coming out in September will also be a good performer.
