    good price; good tech support; takes grreat photos, paricularly outdoors in natural light

    Even more thoughts (as of July 13, 2016):I now feel that the problems I have been experiencing the camera had to do with my ineptitude, and that the camera is an excellent product. It takes great outdoor photos.I found the user guide difficult to understand. But, if you call the Nikon tech support 800 number, they will patiently walk you through the steps you need to follow to configure the camera properly.With their help, I am finally finding I can get the camera to work. I am taking great outdoor photos. And, I seem to be doing a lot better with indoor photos. (I live in the city in an apart

    This camera is solid :)

    I have had this camera for all of two hours, delivered to my office. I have taken pictures around the building, inside and out, light areas and dark, and for a point and shoot, this appears to be an excellent introductory camera coming at a reasonable price. I'm not going to go into the features (or lack thereof) from the other posts but will try to address the concerns I have read. Although the camera is light in weight, it feels pretty solid to my big 'ol man hands. Others have commented on the durability but it is still just plastic, not aircraft grade aluminum, so I feel it will last as lo

    Probably My Last Camera

    OK, I'm a cranky old man and it took me days to decide on this camera. I searched and read gobs of stuff and pushed the button on this one.Now, this camera comes with an instruction manual or there is one online for free. USB cord and batteries.The manual has all this complicated mumbo-jumbo but I relied on FULL AUTO for my shooting. I set it on auto and went to work taking pics of stuff I needed to document. YOU NEED TO READ THE MANUAL regarding zoom usage and how to let it focus before completely depressing the fire button. I don't see any reason for me to mess with the other controls but I

    Best camera for beginner and intermediate photographers alike

    Love this camera, perfect for beginners and intermediate photographers alike. This is my second Nikon coolpix. My first digital camera was the smaller version of this one. I can't recall the serial number or name of it but it was an excellent camera and had it not been lost I would still be using it nearly 10 years later. Nikon lenses in my opinion are unparalleled. With this camera you get all the ease of use from an inexpensive point and shoot, especially when using auto mode or the smart portrait feature, and all the crisp, clean professional quality of a Nikon lense. So easy to set up. Hon

    So far, so good. *Updated

    My daughter saved up her allowance for a year to purchase this camera. She is very interested in photography and we ordered this camera to replace her older and inexpensive little Samsung digital camera. So far she is learning how to use it and take the best quality pictures she can. She's been online and on YouTube looking up all kinds of tutorials and info about how to use all the features of the camera.I am no expert on digital photography by any means so this review may not be super helpful to you, but so far she has found the camera easy to use, the picture quality is very nice.

    Nothing exceptional.

    This camera is okay considering that it is an inexpensive point and shoot, but there is much room for improvement.Pros:(1) Very light and small, easy to carry on treks and hikes.(2) Picture resolution is quite good even in low light (night). See examples below.(3) Uses regular batteries and battery does not drain rapidly unless you take videos often.Cons:(1) Video sound quality is unacceptable. Much worse than most cell phones. I tried recording a piano performance, and anytime the music would get a little loud, the mic would saturate and the sound would crack. Same video taken with a camcorde

    Updated Review-From 5 stars to 1.

    I LOVE this camera - easy operation, great pictures. fantastic price. - this was my review after using the camera for a few days. I didn''t use it again until about a month later on my first trip to the Grand Canyon. The camera began continually saying "battery exhausted" after I put new batteries in and taking only a few pictures. I have purchased new batteries and installed them several times and after 3-4 photos, get the same message - battery exhausted and the camera shuts down. I googled this and apparently it is an issue with the camera. Too bad - I researched this camera and found nothi

    Definitely highly recommended!

    This camera fits to my basic photography needs. I originally thought of getting an SLR but hubby argues about it's price, use practicality and weight inconvenience for travel. It was delivered on time and without any damage. Putting the strap, attaching the lens cap, battery and inserting the memory card, all took me about 10 minutes to figure and it was good to go!Here is an important note. There are people gave reviews on how you have to use the flash all the time cause of picture light issue and the mention of blurry photos and a complain about it's being good more for outdoor pics.
