Don't believe some of the clueless reviews
by BuckThurman on June 11, 2010
Pros: Easy to use, great size, great picture quality
Cons: None so far

Summary: I've owned this camera for 2 months, and have taken 1200 pictures with it in that time. I don't know about some of the other reviews talking about the camera being "slow" and putting out "blurry pictures" I think it was probably operator error. I find this camera to be mechanically sound and the shots are colorful and sharp. This is a great snapshot/landscape camera.

Hugely disappointing overall
by RendaPNW on December 17, 2009
Pros: Outside in bright light it takes good pictures, and it's a comfortable size to carry
Cons: Within a week, the integral sliding lens cover quit working, and the flash hasn't worked for 3 months. Picture quality indoors isn't what I'd anticipated - tend to be grainy, fuzzy, and the color rarely seems true.
Summary: I won't buy another Nikon camera.

Terrible! Worst camera I have ever owned
by girlygirlkristina on November 15, 2010
Pros: pocket sized, good brand name
Cons: blurry pictures, very long shutter lag, yellow pictures, the focus takes way too long and you miss your photo opportunity. All of this despite, using or not using flash, inside versus outsides, and waiting up to 10 seconds for it to focus
Summary: Don't do it! Terrible! Worst camera I have ever owned and NO it's not due to operating error. I'm an amateur photographer and have many years experience ...
Summary: Don't do it! Terrible! Worst camera I have ever owned and NO it's not due to operating error. I'm an amateur photographer and have many years experience with various cameras including the oh-so-simple point and shoots. Nikon screwed up on this one. And, yes I've read the manual inside and out, I've even taken it in to get looked at, it's just a badly made camera. The shutter is absolutely terrible. You have to hold the shutter button half way, wait for it to focus and beep, which can literally take up to 10 seconds! 10 seconds, really Nikon?? Then, take the picture after it has focused. I know it's not an SLR, but Nikon could have done much better with this point and shoot. And, it doesn't change depending on the mode you're in. So, if you have kids, or want to take ANY moving/quick snap picture, DON'T do this camera. You'll regret it. Get one with a much faster shutter. Also, the picture quality is blurry and the color can be yellow. This happens no matter the setting (outside/inside, flash/no flash, whatever mode you're in, and after waiting for it to focus for those disturbing 10 seconds). All around, it's this camera that turned me into a Canon fan

If it hadn't been a present, I would take it back.
by ApScience on September 18, 2010
Pros: Good for outdoor shots, pictures of still subjects in decent lighting.
Cons: Usless for moving subjects, shutter lag is terrible.

Summary: I got this camera as a birthday present, and was pretty excited since my last one had been broken a few months back. I took some outdoor shots and it worked wonderfully -- however, shots of a moving subject indoors is a different matter. If you want to take a moving picture of something like fish in an aquarium, unless you've put flash on, forget about it. Well, the flash creates a flare on the glass of the tank anyway, so that's still no good.
This isn't even mentioning the bad video quality (multicoloued speckles dancing across the screen) or the fact that for some reason it randomly can't show certain images when you try and play them back and deletes them. It did this to me the first day I had it and it has nothing to do with the memory card.
Also, there's no way to adjust the shutter speed. Thanks, Nikon.

Trying to get things in microfocus is a nightmare. It may look fine on the screen - all nice and crisp - but when you press the shutter button it has to refocus all over again, for some reason, and the end result is a picture that's out of focus. Why can't it just take a picture of WHAT IS ON THE SCREEN?1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Excellent Camera
by daedalas1981 on December 5, 2009
Pros: 12 megapixels, 3200 ISO, 2.7" LCD, Small, Compact, Light. Has many settings that can help you in almost every situation.
Cons: Well it's NOT a DSLR, so why complain about speed? Other reviews I've read complain thats its slow. Most compact point and shoot cameras are slow. Want a fast shooting camera look at the Nikon D90 or the Nikon D5000.
Summary: Learn how to use a camera. Every camera can be even better if you read the manual. This one is basic enough for the new consumer, but if you want ...
Summary: Learn how to use a camera. Every camera can be even better if you read the manual. This one is basic enough for the new consumer, but if you want the best pictures from your camera, read the manual. Bottom Line!
In my eyes, I wouldn't go with any other brand name, other than Nikon. Great cameras, had a few, but always enjoy upgrades. Just buy it. Peace!1 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

A fine digital camera!
by CountBelisarius on October 23, 2011
Pros: Lightweight, portable, readily activated, useable under all weather conditions. This camera has served me well in macro applications, a feature that is often overlooked in reviews.
Cons: Switching modes can be awkward at best (photo to video, mainly) unlike other cameras such as the Samsung L-200.
Summary: If I had to buy this camera all over again, I would do so without a scrap of hesitation. My condolences to those who have had trouble with their particular ...

Definitely a waste of money!
by Iguanaluv on October 7, 2011
Pros: This camera worked for a week when suddenly the lens stopped adjusting properly. The focus on this camera was slow and pics would be blurry. However, after two weeks the lens began to not REALLY act erratic. It would not retract or extend/open properly. F
Cons: It's small and light weight. Plus, there are variety of colors to choose from.
Summary: In brief, this camera is garbage and I would not buy it again.

Summary: It's a good camera, but the slow save time from picture to picture can be very annoying, especially if you're trying to capture something quick. It wouldn't be that bad of a camera if it could save pictures faster.

Many blurred photos
by doublewave on June 9, 2011
Pros: It is a small lightweight camera for relatively low price.
Cons: The focus mechanism is extremely slow. Even the slightest movement by the subject, the photographer, or something in the background seems to result in a blurry picture. Low light photos are particularly blurry.
Summary: My experience matches that of the other reviewers: the focus mechanism on this camera is substandard and does not deliver clear photos. I will not buy another Nikon.
