Review 1 of 12

Price Paid:  $89.00 from best buy

Summary:
I agree 100% with one of the reviews, that a disposable takes better picture than this. My son uses disposable at every birthday part in school since he was 4, the pictures are comparable.

Strengths:
A lot of bang for the buck, plus a Nikon brand.

Weaknesses:
Lens quality.

Similar Products Used:
Canon A1, Minolta 700

Customer Service:
None

Review 2 of 12

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:
Do not buy this camera. A dozen rolls later, I can honestly say that cheap disposable cameras deliver better quality! This does not even compare to the old Nikon Zoom400 I was trying to replace.?xD;?xA;?xD;?xA;The picture clarity is usually ok but light and color are the main issues. Exposure is the worst problem with this camera. No matter what the parameters, it cannot consistently take a decent indoor picture. The worst subjects for this camera are people and artistic shots. People usually look either dark, greasy and floating in blackness (which would otherwise be a well-lit room), or else sometimes overexposed. (I consistently use ISO400 film for indoor pictures.) The vertical/horizontal focusing sensitivity is a cumbersome "advancement" which prevents me from taking many candid chaotic shots (e.g., cakes, branchy items, abstract art images). I honestly have not tried the new "macro" feature to enable these, but find it all too cumbersome in comparison to the ease I was used to with my old Nikon after ten years of regular usage. Even the color quality is poor, and I''''ve had these pictures developed anywhere and everywhere! The problems remain consistent. Outdoor shots may turn out but again, are unpredictable. My most recent photo results from Kodak occasionally contain unexplainable fuzz and light aberrations I''''ve never had in my pictures before! The imagery looks much flatter than your average zoom camera as well.?xD;?xA;?xD;?xA;I''''m shopping for a new camera.

Strengths:
Good brand name, but don''''t let that mislead you. Easy to use and affordable.

Weaknesses:
Poor exposure; poor color; too "smart" for quick artistic shots of chaos; inconsistent quality (mostly poor); extremely disappointing.

Similar Products Used:
Nikon Zoom400; Olympus iS-20 (bad results!); old Polaroids and disc cameras.

Customer Service:
Never contacted.

Review 3 of 12

Price Paid:  $85.00

Summary:
There's no denying this is a cheap no frills camera. Short on features and quite basic, but it does take good photos . The strong points of this camera is it's sharp lens and bargain price . I usually use Nikon SLR's but I like to keep this camera in my bag for those quick grab shots .

Strengths:
Cheap , sharp lens ,
decent exposures.I have tried several other cheap compacts including the Olympus Stylus and have always been disappointed with the results . I traveled for 3 months in Thailand with this camera and I was very impressed. The lens is sharp with good contrast.

Weaknesses:
small viewfinder , no exposure compensation or manual overide . Best exposures in 'average' lighting conditions.
Short battery life

Similar Products Used:
Nikon 8008s
Nikon 6006
Canon AE 1
Olympus Stylus

Review 4 of 12

Price Paid:  $90.00 from best buy

Summary:
I have been scouring the internet sites with reviews on point and shoot cameras, and heres what I found out. The nikon was originally my first choice, but because of all the negative reviews that I read, as well as overall low ratings, I decided to go with the best according to the reviewers. The samsung and minoltas were o.k. but nothing special. I finally bought the nikon and cannot believe the razor sharp images produced by this gem. the macro works perfectly, and shots indoors were exposed just fine. I hope this review can sway a person to get this camera, because its a great buy.

Strengths:
very sharp lens

Weaknesses:
none yet

Similar Products Used:
samsung, minolta

Customer Service:

Review 5 of 12

Price Paid:  $130.00 from Nikon Store, Jakarta

Summary:
It is reasonably ideal for a beginner and still you can get crisp picture for outdoor scene. I used to use Kodak Star QD zoom, it had sensalite flash type, which is good enough for most any light condition. I have never upset with my previous kodak.

Strengths:
Very light and easy to use. Good quality result for outdoor.

Weaknesses:
Very small viewfinder, it so diffucult for glasseye person. Very weak flash (underexposed quite frequently)You can't use this camera for action shots because there is a delay in the camera actually taking the picture and when you push the button. You may missed all the great moment.

Similar Products Used:
Kodak Star QD zoom
