Summary: Great Camera, would recommend
Comment: This is the first Nikon I have ever owned, and I am happy to say that I am impressed. I had a Sony cybershot DSC-1, and I used to think the pictures on that were great until I got this camera.
My situation was I brought my Sony to Florida and on the 2nd day, something happened, and the lense went out of focus. Went o some of the "same day repair" places down there to find out that it would be a min of $40 to look at it, and that situation would probably cost a min of $250.
At that point I started looking at what these shops had to offer and I came across this camera. I must admit at first I wanted to ignore it, thinking it was all hype over the great lens, and the wireless ability, but the more I looked at it, and thought about it, I started to get into it, and I will say the pictures it took after we bought it, were amazing.
I have some of the most clear pictures in the parks then I would have ever thought I would get. I would say this is probably the best purchase I have ever made, and even though I paid a little more for the camera then is posted here on amazon, I realize I was in a tourist trap, and he also threw in a 1gig high speed SD card for free...

Summary: Does not perform as priced
Comment: I paid a premium for wifi, which has never worked. The software required is buggy and poorly supported. When my Mac crashed while installing the software, the support person (who was not easily understandable) told me to reset my router. Support was a joke. The pictures quality has left me disappointed. I won't be buying another Nikon point and shoot.

Summary: Some excitement, some surprises!
Comment: Bought this as a present for my wife... works fine as a basic camera with low res video recording as well.
Love the following:
1. Size of the display screen - Ahhmazing!
2. handy - small enough to fit comfortably in pockets/ handbags
3. Simple to use.
Some surprises and disappointments were
1. Never could get the Wi-fi to work
2. Flash pictures taken at night have some white spots - I believe it could be due to the fact that the flash is too close to the lens.
3. While taking videos, the powerful microphone also records the noise of the lens focussing, which can be annoying if shooting in a quiet place without too much ambient noise.
4. Because there is no viewfinder, shooting in bright sunlight is a challenge - or an act of faith - you just have to trust that the camera will get what you want - but cant see in the bright light!
Will not highly recommend.
Enjoy!

Summary: Nice overall, but blurry with poor light, and wifi annoying to use
Comment: Pretty nice overall. Great screen! Good video capability! Works with all Windows, Mac, & Linux just fine via USB. The wifi is annoying to use on the camera, and also is only with Windows I think.
Taking pictures in the evening tends to have blurry results (often I am too close or too far for the flash to be much use.). Also, the flash is somewhat overly "hard" (rather than soft), so I don't really like how the pictures look with flash.
I wish it was easier to switch between video and photo modes.

Summary: Not The best Camera
Comment: Love it when it works, had to send it in twice already for repair. Would not buy a small Nikon again, love my SLR though from Nikon. You get what you pay for.
