    This camera has controls that are intuitively laid out and easy to use. Great quality even in low light. Very odd that is doesn't come with a memory card. This makes the camera useless right out of the box until you go back to the store and buy one.

    This was purchased as a Christmas gift for my daughter who is interested in photography and film making. This camera takes great photos, has wifi for image transfer, and takes video (which is extremely good quality for the price)!

    Bought this little camera to do some short videos of family gatherings. Picture quality far exceeded my expectations! Very easy to use. I am Novice photographer and it was easy to setup. Only drawback is snapbridge app not available for macbook pro so have to plug in right now. Works great with i phone 6s!

    I got this camera just before a trip to Yellowstone, since I knew my phone could not capture distant wildlife. I am not a camera nerd by any means, but this camera was easy to operate and fulfilled all my hopes in terms of image quality. The zoom was awesome, almost as good as quality binoculars. I also like that the AA batteries can be easily replaced. One problem I have not figured out is how to capture videos and download them. Thought I had done it but they seem to be gone, so that aspect seems a bit tricky. All in all, for the price it’s a great camera.

    My first Nikon and I love it. This camera takes phenomenal photos for a fixed lens camera. It's easy to work, compact and built well. The colors and clarity are amazing. I would highly recommend this camera.

    I love this camera! It is easy to use, has wifi connection for sharing photos and the Zoom is incredible. I had to quickly buy a camera to replace my digital SLR that was acting up and this camera was a great choice! Great images, easy to use, no lens change outs and at a great price!

    This camera was a gift for a friend who needed to upgrade a bit from the camera he owned to one with a few additional features. The pictures he has taken have been amazing and he seems very pleased with the camera and its easy to use features. His pictures have great clarity. Very pleased...

    I wrote a review for this camera and neglected to mention that the manual in the box is not the 'real manual'. Gotta download from Nikon. The 'real manual' has link to Nikon to download the program you can use to transfer your images from camera to computer if you prefer this as opposed to bluetooth/wifi.

    Our 15 yr old son loves this camera. It takes great photos. He likes the moveable screen. It allows his to better position the camera. He took some awesome photos for a school project. The zoom is great. I am attaching a couple of photos that he took, obviously from a distance.

    Purchased the Nikon Coolpix in April 2019, used it to take some pretty fantastic shots in Hawaii. The available zoom within the lens also help me get some really good shots as well, Recommend it for ease of use, and the price ain't bad either.

    I decided to purchase after reading mostly positive reviews. Mainly purchased to take pictures of my son playing tball and for an upcoming family vacation to Florida. Overall, it's a great camera for beginners. Bluetooth is fantastic. Easy to use. No complaints.

    Good clarity, lightweight -- takes nice pictures for our purposes. I originally bought it to video a house lift project and liked that I could put this camera on a tripod to video in stages. For a person who doesn't take a lot of pictures, this camera is very user friendly and produces nice memories!

    I love the both the compact size and the lighter weight than FujiFilm. The best feature is the protected button for movies. The FujiFilm video camera button and my sausages for fingers never did get along. I got a lot of videos of either my large shoes or the blue sky!

    I love this camera. I've had one for 7-8 years now. Although, I gave my grandson my old one, because he needed one. So, I just bought another one. It's a great, easy to use camera. Takes great pictures.

    I was pleased with the picture quality. What took this camera down was they promised snap bridge to work for Apple. There was NO firmware til 3 months after I bought this!! Also the battery life if great while you are using the camera. Take the batteries out when done, they die while sitting.
