I am not happy with this camera. Get a lot of blurry pictures. I am going to return it and opt for a higher level camera.
I bought this camera YESTERDAY with overnight delivery…I am returning it TODAY! Do not be fooled by the 18x zoom advertisement. While the zoom is probably it’s only good quality, my Sony H5 with a 12x zoom captures basically the same ‘distance’ zoom, but with much better clarity and crispness. The flash on the Nikon is horribly designed with a push button release, the time between shots is a little long in my opinion, the movie mode is a total joke! 30 seconds of video at the highest setting is a big upset–very very disappointed in this camera. The photo quality is very grainy and almost upsetting to my stomach! Even with ISO set as low as possible, the ‘grain’ seems to be there for the long run. I took several indoor photos, several outdoor photos, several zoom photos….just very very disappointed in this camera as a whole. I suppose if you are only taking pictures of rocks and flowers, then this camera may be ok for you–but then again, so would a cheap disposable camera from your local drug store. Don’t take a chance losing your precious memories to this ‘cheap’ camera. I was looking for a higher zoom to replace my Sony, but after seeing the Nikon’s poor capabilities, I will stick with Sony from now on.
This is an expensive point and shoot camera. I just assumed a company as classy as Nikon would include basic photo editing software. PHOTO EDITING SOFTWARE IS NOT INCLUDED. So you better have some from your old camera. I guess that’s why the in-camera editing is touted so highly. I think I will return this camera and get a Canon that comes with good software. Nikon recommends on the phone that you buy their newest, less than friendly software.

Lo Negativo :
————-
- Cuando hay mucha luz la pantalla LCD refleja unas rayas verticales color morado que se graban en las fotos (ver fotos de la galeria).
- La estabilización VR no es tan buena, principalmente cuando alcanza el maximo zoom, la imagen tiembla mucho.
- La información EXIF de cada foto, en modo playback, no refleja el valor ISO con el que fue capturada.
- Los videos no son tan de buena calidad, totalmente horribles, cuando se hace zoom se distorciona la imagen.
- El modo de escena panoramica no es muy “amigable”.
- El control para ajustar los valores de Manuales (apertura y velocidad) no es muy practico.
- Desde el ISO 400 en un ambiente a iluminacion media, se nota presencia de ruido en la imagen, ¿q tal en 3200 o 6400?.
- El maximo valor de apertura es de f8, muy limitado a mi parecer para tomas donde se desea un buen enfoque del fondo y los detalles.
- Las tomas con el zoom digital son practicamente inservible (ver imagenes en galeria).
- La calidad de la imagen, no es la gran cosa como esperaba de una Nikon.

Lo Positivo :
————-
- Bonito diseño, muy comoda para tenerlo en la mano.
- Se puede hacer zoom mientras se graba video, aunque lastimosamente la imagen queda muy distorcionada aun en la mejor calidad segun la camara.
- Usa modos de escena bastante estandares, ya conocidos en muchas marcas.
- Alcanza una velocidad de obsturación de 8 seg., cuando la mayoria llega a 2 o 4 seg., esto permitira realizar tomas con mayor tiempo de exposición.
- Su alcance de zoom optico de 18x, es muy bueno, aunque la imagen no queda tan nitida.
*** Tres Estrellas!!
I purchased this camera for $299 during Thanksgiving holidays. but i observed that its price fall to $230 now. This was an immediate fall after most of the customers purchased the product. this is really hurting..
