Summary: I love this camera!
Comment: I have seen and worked with other digital cameras, and became boggled quite easily with all the options... not to say this one doesn't have them...
but, really, there are only a few buttons on the camera, and each one of them can get you to everything you need! I was a little scared with setting up the software to download my photos, and it was easy too! Everything was neatly spelled out for me, and extremely friendly. I use my camera every day, and I can get some fabulous up close photos of all the flowers in my garden, including any bugs inside, with the macro option, which is also a breeze to use! Buying and shipping were easy, too!

Summary: Focus issues
Comment: So far, I like the camera and the quality of the pictures. Once you get used to the red eye flash going off numerous times before actually taking the picture (and possibly losing the moment) it's pretty neat. The screen is awsome! SO clear! Some of the scene settings DO require a tripod as the shutter speeds are a lot slower and thus can result in some shake. The one thing I am really not happy with is the macro feature. I love to take close up shots of insects, flowers and even nail art etc, but this has a very annoying feature: the camera focuses CONSTANTLY (in out, in out, in out) like it's having a convulsion or something. You have to try and grab the best focus (shot) when it is "doing its thing" and 9/10, the pic is blurred. I wish there was a way to just shut that off and focus it manually. It's pointless having the ability of a macro shot of as close as 1.6" if it's out of focus cause the camera can't make it's *&^%#$% mind up what it's doing! I AM going to write to Nikon and see if they can off any suggestions on this. Maybe there is some firmware that can be downloaded to fix it. I dunno. Other than that, I am very pleased with my purchase and WOULD recommend it!

Summary: Exactly what is expected from a Nikon product
Comment: The pictures are sharp and the colors are true. The extra large viewer is the envy of our friends. The only thing missing from this camera is image stabilization. It goes everywhere that we go, you know, we don't leave home without it.

Summary: Good camera..
Comment: This is a good point and shoot that Nikon has come up with. The screen is HUGE and bright. The playback on this LCD is great. The camera itself is very light and very thin. It is the size of a credit card and about half the thickness of a cigarette pack. Taking photos is a snap and this camera starts up real quick. In general it performs like a champ.
Had a few issues with focusing correctly. SOmetimes the pictures would come out blurry, when they shouldn't have. The WIFI is a joke. I tried everything to set it up, BUT NO. It wouldn't work. I don't know anyone who has succeeded at this. if you are buying this camera for the WiFi -- DON'T.
OTHER THAN THAT - A SOLID SHOOTER.

Summary: Not the fanciest, but a great point and shoot
Comment: I purchased this camera after getting a junior mint stuck to the lense cover of my cannon. The cannon was bigger and bulkier, but came with more bells and whistles (color select, super awesome macro, 6x optical zoom). While this camera doesn't have all the fun extras the cannon did, it does have the small size, no extending lens to knock while shooting or get rained on (or junior mints stuck in) and the menu is easy enough to navigate that doing manual settings is almost do-able for a novice. in other words, there aren't so many extras clogging up the menu choices that you give up on what you were trying to do. While the macro on the cannon was better, the macro on the Nikon is good enough for the general point and shoot and the colors are FAR more saturated and in depth. The screen on the Nikon is also a lot larger. another cool feature is the battery. The Nikon uses a li-ion batter which you never have to remove from the camera housing. To charge the camera you simply plug it into the dock it comes w/, OR if traveling you can bring just the cable between the dock and the wall and use it to charge the camera. While the cannon was nice, I'm happy to have a cheaper smaller easier to use camera.
