Reviewer: Donald L. Siebert,
I wasn't expecting this Camera to be so small.. so that took some getting used to.. I got this camera so I could email pics to family, and that works great!!! But, I also wanted itso I could send pics to the email address's that I have for Facebook and myspace, but it doesn't work for those. It , instead posts a link to click to view the pic, which of course doesn't work so I just send the pics to MY email and do my uploads from my phone (I have email on my phone so i can open the pics with it & save the pics to my pho) or computer..Pretty cool..The pics are great!! It's pretty easy to set up ur Email add's in the phone.. Would I advise anyone to buy this phone?? Yes!!!! But I would advise you also to get the little carrying case cuz It doesn't come with it and really, ya need it!!!!

This is my second Nikon Coolpix. I've had this camera for a little over one year and decided to buy something else. Pictures taken in low light, with flash turn out poorly. Adjusting the White Meter is like hoping for the best. I sent my camera to Nikon to be adjusted, with pictures taken with other Nikons (idential locations/subject) that my family own to show the differences. Our other Nikons have a much lower MP's. Nikon adjusted something, sent it back with a copy of the White Balance instruction (I did read the booklet before I sent the camera for repair) page and said it was good to go. Not, the same problems happen. Good outdoors and brighter light, not so good in doors no matter the camera setting. My old Nikon was much better.

I bought this for my father who is getting older and want to keep up with the times. This was a perfect basic camera for his use. Screen is large enough and there arnt too many buttons to get confused.

1 Con: I was playing with it and realized that pictures in low light are more fuzzy then i would have wanted, but for general basic use, this shouldn't been a major concern.
Good, not great.

I've had this camera for a little more than a year now, before I broke the lens on the camera. It worked well for me when I went to Japan to take quick snap shots of where I visited (mostly outside). The start up for the camera is very fast, opening up immediately when you press the "on" button; this was something I especially needed and wanted, specifically, for my winter trip there, and also one of the main reasons why I bought this camera was for the fast start up speed. When I was visiting Japan, I was able to walk down a section of the street and easily pull out my camera to take a quick snap shot without having to stop. That function was wonderful to have when I was in a rush.

The battery life was amazing, which was also something I was looking into. I needed my camera to last throughout the whole day when I was visiting Japan and it ended up lasting longer than a day. If I remembered correctly though, I may have asked for the extended battery life when I bought the camera, so they may have upgraded that for me. I was able to use this camera for a whole week and only needed to charge it twice. To me, that's a super win win situation, because my old camera had a horrible battery life, which only lasted a couple hours.

The quality of this camera was nice for the most part, but at times it would be blurry. It definitely showed clarity for most of my pictures, but there would be occasions when some of the pictures don't focus all too well. You would have to hold the camera extremely still sometimes in order to capture a certain moment... I find myself taking more than one picture of same item sometimes in order to get it "just" right. If you're a perfectionist in terms of clarity, this would be the best suited camera to select. I would still enjoy the camera (if I hadn't broken it), since it's 10 mega-pixels definitely showed me a lot of detail in my pictures, but you'd have to be a bit patient.

The functionality of the camera was easy to use and set up, give or take a few moments where I needed to look up something in the manual, in order to find more details of what the button/function did.

The optical zoom of the camera was nice to have, but it wasn't great. I was expecting to have more focus in the zoom, considering this was a 4x the optical zoom preference. The lens in this camera, or any camera with high zoom, protrudes outwards when it's on, so you have to be careful not to drop it while it's on, or it could be jammed. Since the "on" and "off" button on this camera is easily accessible, it was also easy for things to push into it and turn on, thus, turning on the camera and pushing out the lens outward. Because of this, my camera lens broke, and/or was jammed, when my friend left this camera on the leather couch and someone pushed it aside, turning it on because it hit something, and another person sat on it (cause they didn't see it), which essentially crushed the camera lens... it was an unfortunate event, considering how I had bought this item at full price when it first came out.

I like the camera, but it could be better. I would still like to own another one if I had the money to buy a new, mainly, for the way it looks. I know that sounds kinda shallow, but it looks pretty sleek, and it's the perfect size for me (not too small, and not too big).

Overall, it's good, but not great. It has a fast and speedy start up function. The picture quality is good, but the focus can be a little off making it a bit blurred. The lens and LCD screen for any particular camera is very fragile, and this camera is NOT an exception. Happy purchasing, everyone. I hope my comments help a bit.
