    This camera takes amazing photos out of the box ! I don't really love the fact that it uses AA batteries but I just bought rechargeable ones and so far, so good! Extremely impressed with the quality of my photos and how clear and accurate the colors are--even when its a dimly lit area!

    We brought this camera to take pictures of an event. We only had 10 minutes to figure it out before thew event begun. It was easy to use and the pictures came out great.

    I am very happy with this camera. I had purchase one before it which I returned because of short battery life and blurry photos. Not this one. It runs on regular AA batteries which I wasnt too thrilled about but... 1. I can buy the rechargable ones and always have batteries available. But I have used the camera at least 6 times already and the original batteries have not died yet! And takes GREAT photos :D 5 stars!!

    I bought this on a whim the day before I left on my vacation to Portugal. I was dreading hauling my big camera around but didn't want to be just limited to my phone camera either. This camera was perfect! It is so light you can take a pretty decent shot with one hand and you can download the pictures to your phone via Bluetooth for sharing. The zoom is incredible! Worth every penny!

    Overall the camera takes good photos and has some nice options. The things I would rather see improved.... the camera should have a rechargeable battery instead of 4 AA's. The rear panel falls short when it comes to it be able to pivot. It should articulate a bit further so you could be facing directly at the camera and see the screen. It only pivots enough so you can have the camera directly over head or hold it very low.

    This is a beautiful camera! Takes lovely pictures! Only issue is it runs on batteries. I should have checked to see if it came w a rechargeable battery before I purchased it.

    I love this camera and the awesome zoom power. I got a picture of the full moon and you can even see the definition of the crators!!! I was amazed, and didn't even use a tripod, just a balcony ledge to steady my grip on the camera. Very user friendly and easy setting controls, and you can tilt the display for easy viewing of your subject. For a point and shoot, this camera is amazing!! Highly recommend.

    I like the quality of the photos that I have taken. Best zoom of any camera that I have owned and I have two other Nikons. I don’t like that it is only automatic, however, it is a great camera for the price. It is kind of annoying that I haven’t figured out how to put the lens cap on while the camera is still powered on, so I can view and transfer pictures without accidentally scratching the lens.

    Love this camera. The zoom feature of this camera is amazing. I love that it is smaller and has the ability to zoom that far. No need for extra lenses. One bonus is that it doesn't have a traditional camera battery. This means you can go to any grocery store and get more batteries if you forgot to put enough charge on your rechargeables. Bonus !!!! Can't tell you enough how this saved us on vacation.

    This camera is easy to use and takes awesome photos. For a mid priced camera it has allot of features and using double AA batteries you never have to worry about if your rechargeable's are fully charged. Just pop in fresh batteries and your ready to go. This is the second camera of this type I have purchased due to my first one being stolen. All and all a good camera for the price .
