It doesn’t take much to make me a happy picture-taker. I want to point the camera, shoot the photo, and have a great-looking picture to add to my collection. This is not the camera for that. I have had it for about a month, and every time I’ve used it, I’ve just been frustrated. I have been a lifelong Kodak EasyShare Digital camera user, but I thought since Nikon had such a great reputation, I’d spend a little more to get a really nice point and shoot. Wrong. The camera LOOKS great. It has lots of cool features that are easy to use. But the long and the short of it is that, under even normal lighting and action circumstances, this camera cannot take a clear shot. This morning was the last straw. I took about 20 photos of my kids playing in my living room, and 8 – EIGHT- of them were keepers, and even a few of those weren’t as sharp as they should’ve been. I just finished the return authorization process with Amazon, and I’m on my way to buy a Kodak. Save yourself some grief and skip buying this camera.

I purchase this camera a few weeks back and I was very excited about it. I was looking forward to the quality of Nikon lens, the size and weight of the camera. Now that I have received it and took a couple of pictures with this camera, I am very disappointed with the performance on the picture quality of this camera. Maybe because this camera is so advance that I do not how to manipulate the settings in order to take a shot; but overall the quality does not even come close to my Canon SD970IS. I have taken in to the Nikon shop and all they did was to check it to specification. That means, it is design as it. As to the picture, you have to make sure you have plenty of lighting and not much variation with it as it does not give you much option to change the settings. This camera does have a lot of automatic features, like scene selections, auto focus, and image stabilization; however, there is no way that I know of how to manually set the F-stops. I try a close up picture with limited lighting but turning on the flash, you would think it would capture the image but maybe an over expose area where the flash had taken placed. Instead, I capture the picture with a lot of other spots to illustrate that I was underexposed, even when I had the flash.
Bottom line, if I could return this camera, I would and stay with Canon.

I bought this camera, primarily for the 7x optical zoom, but was pleasantly surprised at the ease of use and quality of the pictures. We previously had a 5 year old Olympus and were not looking for 12MG pixel camera. This fit our needs exactly. The screen is bright and the control menus are somewhat intuitive. The camera does have many features so there are several layers to the menus. The initial delay for the first shot is acceptable.
I would recommend this camera to anyone who wants a little more than a basic camera, with a good zoom and the option to make some adjustments through the menu system.

Clean interface, lots of features. Fits in your pocket. I like how the shutter closes automatically, it keeps the lens from getting dirty/scratched. I especially like the panorama and close up modes, as I was backpacking for 3 days and taking a lot of nature shots. The battery lasted until the end of the trip, and I took over 300 pictures.
The wheel interface is nice, it makes it really easy to change modes and navigate menus. You can click up on the wheel and adjust the flash setting (auto, on, off), or click left on the wheel to adjust timer settings. On my previous camera it was hard to find these settings so I just never used them.
The one problem is that the wide/zoom control is a little sensitive. It’s easy to zoom in too close or out too far, and you sometimes have to iterate to get it exactly where you want.
