 Piece of Junk January 2, 2009
A. Grieser (Virginia)
I bought this camera on Dec. 22 as a gift for my son. We brought it on vacation, and by Dec. 28 it stopped working. The display monitor wouldn't display a picture any more. I never dropped it, never manhandled it, and was always careful with it. My son was, too, as I taught him to always wear the camera strap on his wrist to avoid accidentally dropping it, and I always observed him using it, and he was very careful. Nevertheless, the display doesn't work anymore, and since it doesn't have a viewfinder, I now have a $100 paperweight, as Best Buy told me it was "accidental" damage, even though I had no accident with it. I guess I'll try sending it to Nikon, though am not happy that I have to pay all the postage for their junky product, and if they decide it's an "accident," I'll get no help there either.
The picture quality was ok (though there were a bunch of blurry ones for no reason I can figure out and some with streak marks), but I didn't expect too much because of the price. Never going with Nikon again, though. If you decide to buy this anyway, be sure NOT to get it from Best Buy, as they don't stand behind their products unless you buy their ridiculously overpriced warranty plans. Maybe they buy junk on purpose hoping you'll buy their warranty plans (which by the way aren't that great since we had one on a laptop from them and it took them forever to fix it each time it broke).
 Eats Batteries! December 31, 2008

This camera takes pretty good pics for the money, BUT it eats batteries even if it is switched OFF!...sit it on the shelf for two weeks and the batteries are dead. You cannot use rechargeables either...DO NOT BUY, but if you do, then buy a 100 pack of batteries.
Too Fragile to be a Kids Starter Camera December 31, 2008

My 12 year old was really excited to get this camera on Christmas morning and had gobs of fun with it. She took it everywhere (in a fashionable soft case) taking pictures every chance she could. Loved it.
Unfortunately on Day 5 of ownership she pressed on the LCD monitor too hard while cleaning it with a soft cloth. And that's all it took. The LCD display is now fragmented and unreadable. Without the LCD the camera is worthless Landfill Toast. Our local dealer, the same one who raved about it as a kids starter camera, advised us the fix will be more than the cost of a new one. As you read other reviews I'm sure you will notice that the Coolpix lens is also prone to malfunction and breakage.
For those reasons I would not advise this camera for children, even those adept at handling iPods and cell phones and laptops. We will not consider replacing with the Nikon Coolpix line. There are other manufacturers who have more durable low end cameras and that's where we will be headed.
This was a painful lesson. Hope this saves somebody a little heartache.
 Great point and shoot camera December 29, 2008

We bought this camera for my parents for Christmas. They are over 80 and this is their very first digital camera. We could not have made a better choice. This camera was easy to use right out of the box, even for my dad, who never handled a digital before. Every picture seems to come out crisp and clear. The best part is the 3" screen - that makes it perfect for older users.
 Great for the price, simple December 28, 2008

Gave this to my mom (65+) as her first ever digital camera. She doesn't even use a cell phone. Works great in the full auto mode. She was able to figure it out in a half an hour of practice.
Only drawback I've seen is the picture review time after taking a photo is not configurable. The photo only stays on the screen for about 2/3rds of a second after you take the picture. To see it again, you have to poke the 'play' button.
Focus is good enough - misses getting an autofocus lock about 1 in 5 times indoors under fair to poor light. Not as good as my Panasonic, but better than nothing.
Feedback is great - easy to tell if you have focus, intuitive beeps (single for focus, double for missed focus, etc).
Picture quality is good enough - you won't be making prints to hang in the Guggenheim, but for snapshots it's fine.
