Rating: Summary: Could do better Review: I bought this after experiencing disappointment with the Olympus iS-20 QD. I decided to just try and match as closely as possible my suddenly expired, beloved, ten-year-old Nikon Zoom-Touch. Well, whereas my old camera would get four or five stars, I only give this new one two stars for so-so.Using the Nikon One Touch 90 QD for a while now, I've shot many rolls and had them developed at various photo centers to recognize the overall picture quality trend (in light of processing center variations). Overall, the picture quality is not hardly as good as my old camera was capable of. Most pictures come out too dark. I've used the same film speed recommendations for years as appropriate to the photo environment; but for the first time am experiencing dissatisfaction with newer cameras (this and the aforementioned Olympus one). I generally see too much contrast in light that I didn't see before, ranging from dark to darkest in my pictures, rather than light to dark. Throwaway cameras seem to have more reliable flashwork lately. I think the light sensitivity on these new guys are just wacked out or something. Many shots of people portray them as looking just plain dark and greasy. This is not how I want to remember these moments!! Another disappointment is the overall color quality. It is not nearly as pleasantly well-balanced as before, regardless of which photo shop develops the pictures. The most irritating part about these new cameras are their new "smart" ways of focusing in their search for horizontal and vertical lines ... I am now limited in my subject matter and can no longer do certain shots of chaotic compositions and expect the camera to execute the shot like before. For example, I can't even take a picture of a medium-sized, abstract painting I've done and expect it to turn out. Some of these technological "advances" are just getting more limiting and sadly disappointing to me. I've been using this camera for over a year now, but have decided to study the market better and see what I can find more satisfaction with. Or, if possible, just have the old guy fixed!

Rating: Summary: Only lasted 3 months Review: I was hesitant to buy this camera because I had a previous model of the Nikon One Touch that only lasted a year. But the price was good, and it seemed to have the quickest response time (time between when I pressed the button and the picture actually took-- important for shooting an on-the-go toddler!) It took FANTASTIC pictures for 3 months, clear, great focus, easy to use. Then the lens started not opening up all the way, I would have to manually pull it open. didn't realize that at my daughter's bday party and got a roll of fuzzy pics back. Now I have a roll of film stuck inside of it from Halloween, it won't rewind, new batteries, everything. I won't be buying a Nikon anymore.
Rating: Summary: Great Quality Review: I've read many of the reviews written on this camera and must disagree. I've owned this project for about 1.5 years and have rarely had a problem with the quality of the photos. Whereas at least one review commented that the photos turned out "dark and greasy", I can honestly say that I've taken the photos and compared them to the item/animal being photographed and the color couldn't be any closer to reality. The only thing to remember is that if you're trying to take pictures of young children who don't sit still very long, you may want to turn off the red eye reduction (this applies for any brand of camera with red-eye reduction)
Rating: Summary: Could do better Review: Nikon's current version of One Touch 90 is relatively low cost but you get what you pay for. Takes great pictures, but the mechanics for the self-opening lens are hit or miss. I've bought two of this camera in four months and have had the lens mechanism fail AGAIN. Yet my One Touch 90 bought in the early 90s lasted 10 years. To avoid this problem, I'd pay the money for the upgraded model One Touch 180.
Rating: Summary: Good for undetailed record keeping Review: This camera is well designed and attractive, but the pictures are rather flat, no matter what film is used. It works well to record a situation or event literally, but not in depth. NOTE/WARNING: Batteries & Power Packs Energizer EL123APB-2 3-Volt Lithium Photo Battery (2-Pack)is offered by Amazon.com as an accessory for this camera. They DO NOT work - are at least 1/4 inch too long for the compartment.
Rating: Summary: excellent Camera Review: This camera which u are watching is an excellent one.Its worth the dollars Paid. It shoots excellent pictures even while running using 200 speed film. Its a great buy
Rating: Summary: Best Value for Point and Shoot Review: When shopping for a point and shoot camera, I wanted basic features like time/date stamp, self timer and a variable zoom. The Nikon One Touch QD Zoom has it all with the added feature of Macro for shots as close as 12 inches. I also found the camera very easy to load. Nikon is a world leader in photography and they have managed to produce a great camera at a very reaonable price.The pictures I took with the Nikon QD Zoom 90 look very professional.
