    Have been nothing but impressed with this camera. Its the perfect size to have with you on trips or vacation. Takes great pictures and doesn't sacrifice resolution in order to keep it small and lightweight. Only thing that keeps it from 5 stars from me: Doing anything with the digital zoom. It just takes too long to get into focus in auto mode. Missed a lot of good pictures when the camera is trying to focus. (Not a problem if you stay in the optical zoom range.)

    Smaller and lighter than my P900. An excellent camera with a 40x zoom.

    I'm very pleased with this Nikon, I have a couple other higher end cameras and this camera does very well in holding it's own with them! It's a great camera for teaching my young ones with and introducing them to photography

    I like the camera. It's not great at taking close up pictures, but I am impressed with the zoom and the quality of the pictures that come from the zoom. It is relatively easy to use, though it is hard taking pictures through glass (it is like that in general though).

    Bought this camera for my son for Christmas! The camera is easy to use. Takes great photos and uploads them directly into your phone! The only thing I would complain about is that I didn't realize that the batteries aren't rechargable!

    I've had this camera for a few weeks now and love it. It's lightweight, takes excellent pictures, and simultaneously allows you to play with advanced settings or use the "auto" function.

    I cannot say enough great things about this entry level DSLR-like camera. Quick to zoom, Quick to focus, so many features to use that it's totally worth the cost.....EXCEPT ...... this camera's feature to send pictures live to your smartphone is a bust. While taking pictures, the camera will seem to slow down, hang and, eventually lockup or shutoff. If it locks up, you have to pull the battery. If it shuts off, it leaves the lens out and, then you have to pull the battery to reset it. I leave the camera on airplane mode while shooting and turn airplane mode off to transfer pictures to my phone. That seems to fix it.
