User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars I really like this camera
I’m no camera expert, I just like to take pictures of my grandkids and my dogs and other things that happen to be there. The pictures I’ve taken with this camera a wonderful and when I transfer them to the computer, they are clear, bright, crisp–just what I wanted and the price could not have been better. I am happy !

4 Stars as good as they come
Unfortunately broke my last one after a 4′ drop to cement… with the lens extended. It was a convenient, trustworthy little camera and I hated to see it go. But now after a couple of weeks with a brand new version of the coolpix (the red one), it seems even better than the last except for one thing. The memory chip access was on the outside of the case; click to remove, click to reinsert…easy and convenient. Now the access slot is inside, under the flap door next to the batteries. I CAN’T STAND IT. I transfer my pictures often to other computers at work, and frequent opening and closing of that flimsy flap of a door gives me the willys’. I cannot see this turning out well; even using extreme care.

5 Stars Great Digital Camera
Great digital camera! Simplifies your picture taking by automatically select the best setting. Produces high quality pictures with stunning colors and sharp resolution.

5 Stars It’s a Giant Killer – Superb Pocket Camera!
This is a superb little pocket camera that is all Nikon from start to finish – and the finish by the way is beautiful.

I’ve had the camera a couple days and I just don’t want to put it down! I have a NIKON D50 SLR for those really precious jobs, and I wanted a small camera I could have in the pocket sort of “all the time.” I tried several small ultra-compact cameras and I hated them all. Too many weird buttons that made quick operation all but impossible without carrying around a telephone book sized manual. I mean, after all, what’s the purpose of a pocket camera, if not to whip it out on a whim and get a quick picture?

Here’s three things I really like about this baby.

1. There are four key buttons on the top deck: Power, Shooting mode, Review pictures and the shutter button. Pull the camera out, hit the power button and you can take a picture in a second. No fumbling, no hunting for the right button. It is logical, easy to remember and doesn’t overwhelm you with a billion choices before you can take a picture.

2. It takes AA batteries. Cool, I have boxes of AA and I don’t need YET ANOTHER little charger! Plus, there won’t be a bum lithium battery to try to replace in two years. AA batts are cheap and in this camera they last a long time.

3. The LCD screen is HUGE, bright, and gives a great preview or slideshow.

Here’s the one thing I don’t like: It’s a bit fatter than my wife’s 20mm Olympus. It’s more like 1.1″ thick. Not unmanageable, but it’s as large as you’d really want for this kind of camera. It’s the AA batteries that make it a bit thicker. BUT—shooting with this gem is 10X faster and easier than with my wife’s compact Oly – (which is the most confusing menu system I’ve ever seen on any product in my life. )

Oh, the pictures? So far I think they are fabulous. This is a 10MP camera – - how much do you need for a pocket camera? With a 4GB standard SD card you can get like 1000 pictures! That’s a long party!

Everything about this camera feels like a well made sports car – I may just pack up that big SLR and ……well, maybe not. But this will get plenty of use.
