This one will blow your mind out
[ Posted: 2007-11-07 ]
I have this camera for 3 years never had a Mojor problem wih it.
Also have Nikon D70s for 4 years
I never liked point and shoot camera but when my mom got this one I was surpise. I never liked point and shoot because of its zoom. But as I used it, I learned Its almost better then any SRL Cameras. I use it when I go to Partys or away from home.(Prom) I have nikon d70s but I dont wanna break it so I brings this one. I like it alot of those featurs it has. I NEVER HAD a problem with it. The A/F is ok but some times its blurry.
I like when it has the night vision so you can see what you about to take. I use it during prom and was suprise it had it. Other people was suprise too with it.
PRO:
- VARY easy to use.
- It has Auto fix the picures when you take them(you can turn it off if you dont like it). It will make it more colorfull if you want it.
- Its small.
- The view finder has night vision before you take the pictures. Then the flash comes
- Has a way to zoom in your pictures so you can see what you have
- camera does warn you that the shot is blurred or no good. It will ask you if you wanna redue it.
- Good pixels (7.1)
- Has different modes; night, indoor, party, fireworks mode, 360 mode(forgot whats it called sry its late) and others
- Nice battary life.
- Nice Black and white Pictures(I gotten some cool Pictures with this mode. (Its cool!)
Cons:
-Some blurry shots but not alot.
-The veiw finder(the one on top) is Little off then the lens(that shows whats on the screen)
- Little bit slow to start up(you can put your own greeting pictures evertime you start up the camera.) Dont know if you can shut it off or not
Overall: I highly recommend it. If you can afford it. GO FOR IT.
I never had a problem with it. Dont know why other people has
Also, im a college student not some person who wants to Rip how bad this camera is. I tell the truth not like other people.
Great Until It Broke

I really liked this camera until if stopped working.
After about a month, I would get a lens error, indicating that the lens could not slide out. I did some research online and found this to be a common problem with this camera. Apparently the lens can get knocked off the rail that enables the lens to slide in and out.
Not As Bad As Some Have Claimed But Not Perfect

This camera is nice in the way that it's small, lightweight, and looks fabulous. It's bad in the way that it's slightly difficult to get a really great picture with it. I used to have a Nikon Coolpix 4300 that seemed to take clearer pictures than this one. I have no idea how that's possible but in any case, it's not as horrid as some people have claimed but it's certainly not the best camera ever by any means. I took it on a few vacations and out of say, 120 photos taken, probably only 75 were "good ones" in my opinion. With a film camera I wouldn't complain but I think with digital, there shouldn't be as many bad shots. With my 4300 it was virtually impossible to take an ugly picture, so it seems to me that this one should be better, not worse.
Best one yet

Everything it should be. Easy to use. unbelievable Phote quality and colors. Love the Lithium Ion battery. Small is good for carrying but there is a limit to how small I want for handling reasons and this is it. If availible I would opt for a larger LCD screen. Still has viewfinder. Really important for good shot composition.
nice pocket camera but...

its good for quick use when professional considerations don't matter, but if you view this product critically then nikon should be ashamed, first thing I notice was the lens motors are very loud so at the first look its "Made in China" all over it. very flimsy, if u drop it then its gone. I have a Cannon also which is made in Japan and you can really tell the difference with just looking at two. here are the main pains:
1- Auto Focus sux, if light is poor then just get ready for blury pics.
2- the ISO settings does not work properly.
3- the saving and transferring of pics is just painfully slow even with fast SD card.
4- Flash if used improperly makes everything look blue. I have not seen this happening in any other digital camera.
5- the movie mode records in .mov files.
6- plastic body is very flimsy, it should have "fragile" written over it.
The reason I am giving 3 stars is because of nikon's colors and 7MP quality.
I am just frustrated on "Made in China" products, there is just no quality in things anymore :( and amazon almost exclusively deals in made in china.
