This is my 4th Nikon. The 42x telephoto in this camera is fantastic. I can zoom in on subjects up to 5 miles away. I've taken some great shots of bald eagles, great blue herons and deer. When using the full 42x zoom, you definitely need a tripod, because the slightest movement of the camera loses the image. The only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars is the flare spots when trying to photograph sunsets

Got this for a Christmas present for my wife and she loves it! It does everything she needs to take great pictures. She loved the video record option and the flash! It's easy to use and will definitely come to use on our vacations and trips.

I got this camera for a birthday present with the intentions of using it for action shots. Unfortunately, lately I have had horrible experience with the customer service at my local best buy and was not given correct information on the purchase. The camera does not have a very fast shutter speed but does take great still shots. It zooms in from very far and doesn't sacrifice image quality.

Great camera for the price. Has the controls to increase your knowledge of how to take charge of you photos if the auto control can not do the job. Great zoom without having to buy extra lenses. lighter then a HSLR . Good controls for editing.

I'm a sports and landscape photographer and needed the long zoom lens for animal photography. Just returned from 10 days in the circle of national parks in Southern Utah and was extremely happy with all features of the camera except for battery life which was a bit shorter than expected. Looking forward to our trip to Alaska next June

This camera is very easy to use. It takes great and very detailed pictures. The zoom capability is truly amazing. The timer feature for the photographer to get into the shot works well. We used this for landscape shots at Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. Wildlife shoots. People pictures. It worked well under all circumstances. Even on a real cold the lens did not fog up with our respiration.

Like the good zoom capability and better lens than skinny pocket size digitals. Lots more features for someone wanting something more, but not hard to master options available. Another benefit over skinny slippery cameras; the slightly bulky body easy to hold, especially if you have arthritis in your hands but camera is not so heavy as a professional SLR.

My old camera was dying and I knew it. Then it did die and I had to buy a new one fast. After going to a camera shop to have it declared a total goner, I asked what they had in a general point and shoot, over 20x zoom, with a view finder - really important when pointing into the sun plus it's a battery saver, and used a battery pack, not multiple AA batteries. I focused in on this one at $399 with a 50x zoom! Not bad. I asked how much batteries and cards were and the quotes were like $50 and $35. Wow. That's high maintenance.
So I found this one which seems to be the same camera at $100 less ON SALE and cards and batteries also cheaper at BB. Didn't expect that! No time for heavy learning - gotta go and use it asap. Battery took 4 hours to charge up and I had to learn to listen for the click to make sure I actually got a picture, but I'm good. I got several photos of my steering wheel....
It seems to put itself in a sleep mode or just turn itself off which is a great battery saving device. Either that or I was accidentally turning it off....
Anyway, the photos are great. Auto-focus is pretty quick. Flash is quick. I'm just thrilled!

O.K. I am not a camera buff - just someone who wants to capture the moment so I can have the visual to revisit. This camera works well for me. I have not had any trouble understanding the directions in the manual and have enjoyed experimenting with the different settings. If you want a diagnostic review - I'm not your gal, but for those neophytes in the audience, this is a great choice.

The camera has a lot of features. If you purchase the WIFI accessory, it connects easily to your smart phone so you can upload pictures to your mobile phone's gallery or picture file. The camera is easy to use on auto and has a great zoom feature. I've been using it for over a month now and I'm pleased with the reults. Good camera for a beginner or an intermediate photographer. Great buy.

I needed a camera but had a very specific pricepoint, which worried me. I did lots of research and asked a couple wedding photographers I know which would be best--this was the winner. And I couldn't be happier with the pick. This has been wonderful for capturing lots of family get-togethers and impromptu photo sessions. So happy to have it.
