Digital Camera Type: Bridge Camera
Imaging
Image Sensor Type: CCD (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
Digital Zoom: 4x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
Image File Format(s): AVI, DCF 2.0, DPOF, JPEG, WAV (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
Focus
Autofocus: false (Allows the camera to automatically focus through the lens, rather than by adjusting the lens manually.)
Exposure Control
Shutter Speeds: 1/1500 - 1 sec. (The length of time the shutter remains open when the shutter release is activated, expressed in fractions of seconds. The longer the shutter is open, the more light that is able to be captured by the camera sensor.)

Compact, convient, Great for on the go
This camera is perfect for people on the go. Fits nicely into purse to have on hand at all times.
The Continuous capture allows you to take 16 pictures, allows you to capture action shots. However, when trying to pick one of the 16 shots, the image can become distored when cropping.
I would recommend this camera for everyone who likes to take photos.
The continuous capture will enable you to get shots you normally would not get, easy to make the target believe you are not still taking photos if you hold the camera still and look in another direction.

Amazing Camera
I am in love with this camera! When I bought it, I also bought the Nikon Coolpix Digital Camera system. It was a little pricy, but well worth it. It comes with specific Nikon batteries and a charger for them, that, when used, make the battery last around 9 hours between charges.
The camera is incredibly easy to use...the screen is so big that you can easily see what you want to get, and the button has a 2 second wait. It is incredibly easy to get exactly the right setting, and the quality is amazing! When you are reviewing your pictures at first, it appears a little fuzzy, but just wait about 3 seconds and the lines come through so clearly, it's just incredible. (Picture example below) I was able, with this camera, to take a video of our plane taking off from inside of it, and was also able to take pictues of the cities and landscapes below without a problem. (Another example below)
The only downside is that the sound on the video isn't very prominent. It picks up any human voices or music, regardless of if that is what you were trying to get or not.
All in all, I will be using Nikon for the rest of my life. I have not had one problem with this camera and it is definitely an upgrade for me!
