  Lasted One Day May 27, 2008 I suspect this in not typical but the camera I ordered worked fine on day one but on day two it would no longer turn on. I replaced it with a different model of Nikon camera - only because this model was no longer available.
  Image Stability Issues May 27, 2008 Nice form factor, low price, but the painfully long latency from shutter click to actual snap of the photo means that most of my photos are blurry. I have had a series of Canon's that have just as many features and not this latency issue. After getting back home and seeing most of my trip photos blurry (imperceptible on the LCD viewer, but painfully obvious on the desktop monitor), I put this thing on the shelf and went shopping for another. In the scheme of things, I would rather pay $50 more and know my photos will be usable.
I am extremely disappointed in this product. I expect more from Nikon.
  point and shoot May 20, 2008 After a lot of research(many amazon opinions too!) I made my choice on a low-end point and shoot camera. I didnt want to get carried away for a disposable camera. Now that might be harsh, but I really planned on using this camera to its breaking point! After piles of batteries( finally, I got some Sony quick recharge ) batteries for this gem. I found out that a newer version of this camera has a inferior processor in comparison to the older one, so I searched and found a older(by 6 months!) model and bought it. It has 1 megapixel less, but this is made up with the superior processor. This point and shoot camera is a great buy in all departments. I got a black one. The only 2 things you could offer as a complaint is it's a little tough on batteries, and it's low light shooting. But hey, I like the whole battery thing. If they die, you swap them out, no waiting around to recharge.I know, have a extra in any situation(on board or not). $85.00 &$22.00 for a snug-it. What a combo.I don't know if anybody has noticed SD cards for less than$3.00!! The beauty of this get-up is that it's with me 24/7. Think I miss anything?
  Good Value for Money May 20, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
It is a good camera for the money I spent on it. Simple, easy to use, small size.
  Good in Light, Bad in dark May 8, 2008 This camera takes WONDERFUL pictures in the daytime or in lighted areas. But this camera is NOT good in dark areas such as dances, proms, and nighttime pictures. I myself like to take pictures in areas that are sometimes not well lite such as school dances. But the camera makes the pictures appear blurry and fuzzy. Two features I do like about this camera are the D-lighting and the cropping feature. The D-lighting feature allows you to lighten up dark pictures and the crop feature allows you to zoom in and crop pictures. Both of these features can be done right there on the camera immediately after you take the picture.
So if you are only going to use this camera in the day or well lite areas this is the camera for you, especially if you are on a budget. But if you often take pictures in dark areas I recommend that you don't get this camera.
