    Feedback on my new CoolPiX A300

    I am not pleased with the camera. I have tried numerous times to get interior photos and the flash does not go off. I thought this had an automatic flash setup? I get blurred photos. I just did not get time to bring the camera back. There might be a malfunction with it. I had a CoolpiX S3300 before and loved it. Photos stopped going on the SD Card. Thank You, Jane Cool

    Bought this camera for a Disney trip as something besides my phone to hand cast members to catch some candid shots. The camera has some nice features (wifi, snapbridge, etc), but the quality of the photos is only decent at best. I think it would be great for a teen, but definitely not for any important photos.

    Used it for a weekend to test the quality of its shots. The verdict: quite disappointing compared to the ones I took with phone. The reason I'm even interested in this camera was its memory. Just put a cheap microsSD card and you have thousands of pictures to take.

    Good quality but the screen is very cheap so you will not get to see the quality of the picture. Alse it takes a long time to take the pictures and load the flash.

    We bought this camera because it was inexpensive and looked to meet our needs. But, the flash is weak compared to other models. So, we returned this one and bought an older S9500 (which has a better flash).
