Another Wonderful Camera From Nikon!
by DavidCameraCrazy on February 22, 2011
Pros: + Zoom is great
+ Great pics
+ Small size
+ Easy to use
+ Great macro
+ Automatic scene selection
+ Good focal lengthCons: - Power button too small
- Takes WAY too long to zoom after turning on
- Zoom is in large jerky steps so it's hard to find that "right" framingSummary: This is my third in the Nikon Coolpix line, and I love it just as much as my previous ones! If you're a fan of any Nikon Coolpix, this ...
Summary: This is my third in the Nikon Coolpix line, and I love it just as much as my previous ones! If you're a fan of any Nikon Coolpix, this will certainly be something you like!
My only disappointment is that there isn't a "Sports" setting anymore, which was something I used a lot on my older models. However, the camera takes such fast pictures that it hasn't really become a problem as of yet.
Battery life is good... haven't taken the time to see how many pictures it has per charge, but it's held up through at least 200 pictures at a graduation I went to recently without any battery indications.
The charger is different than previous the Nikon Coolpix cameras I've owned, as it plugs directly into the camera as opposed to having to remove the battery. I'm not sure whether I like this, because the AC OUT cover is kind of stubborn to come out. Again, it's nothing that's become a problem.
The HD movie is pretty cool. I haven't recording much with it, but the quality on it is wonderful. The record button is on the back of the camera, by the menu, which makes it extremely easy to switch from camera to movie. No setting change! This is definitely one of my favorite features, and is perfect if you like to take both stills and video!
The zoom is great, and takes crisp shots from a good distance!
The smart portrait feature is fun, but probably not something I'll really use. It's a good replacement if you don't want to use the self-timer, but again, it's kind of a pointless feature. Still interesting, though.
I haven't played with the Subject Tracker yet, to be honest. I'll add more to this once I get a chance to mess around with it for a little while.
Overall, it's a great camera! Not too heavy, though certainly a little bulkier and heavier than my previous Coolpix camera. Hope this helped!
*** P.S. If you will buy this camera I suggest you have a compare price before you decide at: www.amazon.com/gp/*************?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%****%2Foffer-listing%2FB0034XKECE%3Fie%3DUTF8%26ref_%3Ddp_olp_new_map%26condition%3Dnew&tag=***************&********=ur2&camp=1789&creative=3909578 out of 8 users found this user opinion helpful.

Dont waste your money...
by sanadon on April 1, 2011
Pros: It's small enough to throw in my pocket or my purse.
Cons: the picture comes out grainy and the color is just strange... The video is awful! I thought with the HD video it would be great but... NO! It's fine if I watch it in the little small square... but to make it bigger it's so blurry it's not worth watching.
Summary: Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I've used cameras for the last 40 years and this one just is bad... How hard can a point and shoot really ...

Easiest controls to use & navigate of all 30 I tested
by KevinPez on March 13, 2011
Pros: Quick start-up option. Easy video shooting. Great software that's easy to navigate through. Controls are a perfect size- not too large or too small. And it's a NIKON
Cons: Once the zoom hits the digital distance, much clarity is lost.
Summary: This is my third NIKON and I'll buy another one in 2-3 years to replace this one. I'm becoming a loyal NIKON owner after having several Sony's.
