    This is a very nice camera for the price and takes really nice pictures. Nice Size and Very Easy to Use! I just wanted a nice and easy camera. So far the only negative is when taking pictures...there is a few second wait in between shots.

    Really love this camera. When reviewing what was taken, I've noticed they came out a little blurry, but it could be the viewfinder. Really easy camera to use, great for a beginner. Just point and shoot. Really looking forward to taking this camera to Disney World and seeing how well this camera works on getting THE shot.

    I always choose Nikon but was looking for something more advanced than a simple point and shoot. This is perfect as it is between point and shoot and dslr. Very user friendly and great quality!

    This camera is very similar to my last Nikon but it has more features and is lighter. The only thing I don't like is the fact that it takes AA batteries rather than having a single, rechargeable battery that lasted a very long time per charge. The price was excellent - definitely a Best Buy!

    I bought this camera to take on a trip out of the country. It was easy to use and took very clear pictures. I also bought it to take videos of practice and performances of my dance troupe. So far it's working out really well!

    The camera is very easy to use and takes great pictures. I took it on a two-week road trip and figured it out no problem. The only downside is the batteries seem to run down quickly, and there are 4 of them.

    I bought this camera for my wife prior to a trip out West to the Grand Canyon and then through New Mexico, Arizona and Colorado. The camera is extremely easy to use and operate and the pictures came out great. Fantastic camera for the price. You can always count on Nikon for a good product.

    I bought this camera for my daughter for Christmas. She has taken a lot of very nice photos with it. She is just beginning photography as a hobby so I didn't want to spend a lot of money until she knows she really likes it. The camera is easy to use and takes very good quality photos.

    My wife couldn't have been more excited with her new camera, and the fact that it came in purple (plum) was even better! I can't get her to stop taking pics! So easy to use and great quality photos!

    I'd always been a Canon girl, but when I was in the shop looking for a decent camera this is the one I kept coming back to. It is my first digital camera in years. My old one is a 6megaplx Canon and it was top of the line when I bought it, now it's nothing compared to this. This one has a lot of great features, the Pet Portrait is what I use the most at the dog park. The images are so sharp and clear I can't fault it. I'll be using the video this Saturday for interviews and cannot wait to test the video on this camera out. It is a bit big so it's not a purse or small bag camera but if you use a carrier bag you are good.

    I love the zoom and the clear photos I am getting. Just wish I could plug it in to recharge and not have to use batteries. Did not realize this at time of purchase. Still a great camera.

    Wow what a camera! We have had several digital cameras over the years. This thing has them all beat. It is loaded with tons of features. The best thing I like about this camera is the flip down view finder. This will be great for the trip we have planned in Ireland this up coming summer. Also the ability to set the camera to black and white and then have the person in the pictures face to be in color. Awsome!

    Was looking for a middle priced camera for my son. He has a growing family and this meets his needs. He is able to take regular pictures as well as action shots and many other features. It is a wonderful camera. I highly recommend.

    My daughter is very interested in photography and wanted a good camera with a zoom lens. This was an excellent choice to get her started. She has really enjoyed using the camera, it was very easy for her to learn, and it takes excellent photos.

    I really liked the color of the camera and my point and click got jammed. I needed a new easy to operate camera. It was a little more than I planned to purchase but takes photos like a professional camera. Pictures are great, beautiful and crisp!

    Got recommended this camera from a friend. So far all the pictures are amazing. Love the wifi and app I can upload to social media straight to my phone. Also like that I can use the app as a remote for the camera. The price seemed reasonable.

    I have missed a real camera, always just using the "phone" I purchased this camera for a great price and took it immediately on a trip. It was wonderful for both close up and distance. Clear sharp pictures. The wifi was the only disappointment, it took multiple updates on the computer to download. it does connect with my phone at all (disappointing) nor my surface. Overall highly satisfied
