    I bought this camera as a gift to my sister in law for her birthday and after a couple of family vacations and seeing how good it actually is I decided to get one for my wife.

    This is my first real camera so I’m still trying to get used to the different moods and functions. But overall, I think it’s a great camera to get started!

    This is a good camera, but what it didn't have was an external mic plug in that I could record video wirelessly. But that being what I needed was the only reason it wasn't a fit for me.

    As a photography student i was disappointed that the shutter speed is not adjustable in anyway, but has many good options and modes. Takes amazing micro photos!

    The pictures and operation are great. The connectivity and lack of ios app in this day and age is a major drawback. Once that is ironed out, I'm sure it will be even more of a pleasure to use

    My COOLPIX is a technological work of art. I have not yet even begun to explore its potential. I just wish that they had come up with a better idea for the lens cap.

    For an armature this camera is great. Point and shoot technology. The only reason i did not give it a five star is the weight. At the end of the day this camera gets very heavy
