4 out of 5 stars Great little digital camera   January 9, 2009
Don't be deceived by its size. This camera has a variety of great features which took me about a day of experimenting to figure out. Also, it takes great videos. You certainly have to watch and adjust the setting before taking a picture in dim light and when using other features such as nightime and landscape modes, but with so many options there is the potential to take a truely professional picture.
Also, something very useful is that you can alter auto-flash pictures (this is the standard camera mode) AFTER taking them if they appear blurry. It has a long zoom, but after a certain point, the camera stops physically zooming and instead decreases the quality of the photo at the cost of more zoom.
Moreover, it was very easy to transfer photos to the computer. The nikon program works great, but transfering videos can take a couple of minutes.



1 out of 5 stars Great camera, horrible software   January 9, 2009
This camera is a fantastic point & shoot. However, there are two things that I feel everyone should know before purchasing this device.

1.) There is NO Vista x64 support (Nikon support confirmed that they are working on getting something out but right now, they are not even close).
2.) It does not use a standard USB cable, its a custom; bulky cable.

Had i known the above, i would NOT have purchased this camera.

This was a gift for my daughter who absolutely loves it!!! Says it is easy to use, lightweight and "cool"


2 out of 5 stars Mixed Bag   January 8, 2009
Nice size and good daytime photos, but I'm not a big fan of the photos taken when flash is used on this camera. The camera artificially widens the eyes of subjects when flash is used - no matter the mode. Could be user error, but I am actually going to return this product and request a refund.


1 out of 5 stars Not a digital Camera   January 8, 2009
I got this Camera from Beach Camera. I don't know if this is new product or used one as they sold me in original package and all items. It didn't matter me in the beginning. I'm fond of Nikon digital cameras and though other brands were offering great cameras at the same price, I regret buying this product. The image it takes when in "all Auto mode" is so dull and unclear that I really feel sick after looking at the image in its LCD, Computer or TV. My Old camera with 3MP has much clarity in the image than this 10MP camera. I suggest the buyer not to purchase this model and esp from Beach Camera.

Sravan.
