    I have owned this nikon camera (an older model) for years and took a chance on this refurbished one to get a few upgrades and longer zoom. Less than 3 months in and the focus does not work as it should and often not at all, the lighting is horrid no matter the scene selected and because it is refurbished I can not return it. Never again. Wasted a lot of money.

    I bought my wife a nikon cool pix point and shoot. She loved it. Problem was, my 3 year old did to. He broke it so I had redeem myself. It shoots phenomenal photos of the moon. Has good amount of features. I'm not a professional photographer, but this camera holds its own.

    The camera was exactly as described. Important REMINDER is that the lens cover must be removed prior to turning on the camera. Light sensor or something.

    I love the color and futures I don't like the time it takes to focus. It shows blurry and you have to soon in and out for it to refocus
