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.

Summary: Great Point and Shoot digital camera UPDATE
Comment: UPDATE:
We've had this camera for about a year now, and are still as impressed as when we first got it. Our secret of photo shooting is to use the "action" setting. I've taken thousands of photographs of my wife running in marathons around the world. I just hold down the shutter button as she goes by, get a couple dozen photos and they all are crisp and clear. We use that same function when lighting is good, rather than using a flash and having an artificial look.
We have been able to take amazing night photos too by using either the night setting or landscape setting. The key is to use the self timer and have the camera sitting on a surface so that it does not move at all. The photo will be amazing.
I also like the ISO function. I have mine set to 400 instead of AUTO. It ends up taking much better photos in low light settings!
Would still recommend this camera. I hope it lasts for years to come :)

I enjoy the convenience of a point and shoot digital camera. My Minolta Dimage X (about 15% small in size than this camera) had reached the end of its useful life, having been around for about 5 years. The Minolta had a 3/4" screen on the back. (this one has a 2.5" screen- great colors)
The best feature I liked about my old camera was the fact that there was not a telescoping zoom lens. I don't like the fact that a part that needs to move so often has the possibility to get gummed up and dirty. Therefore, I was excited that this camera had an internal zoom.
Tonight I was at a Bulls game, in the 300 section (nose bleed), and was able to zoom in and get a individual photo of Kirk Hinrich. The 3x optical zoom is incredible, but more so incredible is the digital zoom. I was also able to zoom into the jumbotron, and it looked as crisp as if I was taking the photo directly.
Action shots are GREAT. Low light shots are GREAT!
It is exactly what I was looking for !

Summary: Incredible performance
Comment: Though being a Nikonist for years and knowing the possibilities of that camera I could never imagine the results and performance of this item, easy to handle,incredible small for the capacity and giving the same options to get the same quality of pictures than the D80.I have both.

Summary: Excellent Camera
Comment: I bought this camera around the beginning of July and have used it several times already. I've upgrade from a Nikon Coolpix 3200 to this one due to smaller, sleaker size and more megapixels. This camera takes excellent pictures, in broad daylight as well as in the dark. Red eye reduction is wonderful, however the flash does go off about 4 or 5 times. It's not broken... it's supposed to do that for everybody who thinks their camera has a glitch. Overall, I think this was definitely a good buy and am looking forward to taking the camera on vacation!
