    Going on a trip to Cuba for school class and wanted to take pictures during my free time. This was the perfect camera to use with the ease of a Sandisk.

    My wife loves this camera. I was deciding between this and a Canon camera that was similar. Not disappointed at all. Takes really stable pictures and works well in all light conditions. Recommend it!

    This is a great little camera for what we need. the only thing I would like improved is to have the ability to put in rechargeable batteries. I don't like carrying extra batteries for the 'just in case'.

    I sell a lot of stuff on Ebay and this works great for that but it also works for long distance outdoors shots like the moon,wildlife etc. I love it!!

    I really enjoyed using the camera on my three week vacation in Europe. The only complaint I have is that I had to replace the batteries 2 times during the 3 week trip.

    Nice enough camera, but many of the settings are redundant. It does take nice pictures, but you have to work at it a little.

    This is the 2nd coolpix i have owned. Takes nice pics, but the zoom is definitely touchy. I have purchased a tripod to help with the blurriness issue from movement.

    Fun camera. I enjoy taking pictures with. However, I am having trouble updating the software which allows for the wifi uploading. I have watched utube with no luck. I will need to call Nikon for further assistance.

    This camera works great for a novice . Not too many dials they wouldn't be confused with. I wish it was a way you could upgrade and keep some of the features.

    I bought this camera for my mom on her birthday. She 73 and has a difficult time with technology. I have taken several pictures with it and had to talk to support because of some blurtiness. Some settings needed to adjusted to increase quality. I would recommend not using digital zoom. Like every camera I have ever used, the digital is poor quality. The biggest let down with this camera was the flash. You have to manually lift flash to activate it. I have a dslr Nikon and love the automatic flash. It lets you know when you need some more light. This is a recommendation to Nikon to make this level camera with auto pop-up flash. Above all though, she likes the camera and is enjoying taking pictures of her grandchildren
