Summary: Good pictures, improving support
Review: Nikon's cameras are among the best in the industry - this one, which my wife generally used, is great. It produces much better pictures than most point and shoot cameras do, even if you leave everything up to the camera, and you can override the camera to produce real art.

I had originally written this review angry because of how much trouble I was having to go to for a plastic part that had fallen out of the camera. I had been quoted prices of over a hundred dollars to fix it, and I had to either drive to one of the few support locations or ship my camera away and hope it came back. In the end, though, we got a hold of Nikon, and they sent us a replacement part for free. It showed up in less than a week, and I fixed it in about five minutes. For people who are less willing than I am to service an expensive camera, there still might be support worries - I'm satisfied again, though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Meets every Expectation
Review: This camera takes great pictures. I use it mostly as point and shoot but some times I take protrait pictures and the sharpness is breath taking.

The bult in flash is not very strong. But if you take pictures with sufficient light you do not need any flash. Make sure you get the Nikkor lenses too as some places sell with other lenses.

I am now looking to buy the D70 Digital SLR. Just waiting for the price to come down a little more.

This can be your entry level SLR and the price is great.

Summary: A must camera for all types of people
Review: Wow, worth the money, of course it's better than digital. Bought is because sick of those blury bad quality photos. This is good for all occasions, professional-everything. We bought another long zoom lens that makes it a proffesional camera. There is no question about it-buy it before you buy any other camera!
Very durable and proffesional quality. Good options for day and night shots. When will they make video camera's like this!
Of course you must press the button twice to focus and then the light will pop up then you shoot. At first your always worried your going to take a picture bought you'll get easily use to it. Look at pictures 20 years from now in good quality, you won't look back on the purchase. It's a Nikon at a great price that all families and photographers need. I'm not upsessed with photograghy, but I like to preserve memories and send good quality christmas cards out.
I got a digital Kyocera and we took 12 pictures before it broke. Of course that was several years ago when the camera was purchased a little under a thousand. We go the nikon because we knew it was easy and trustful. Their are sprint pcs palm sized digitals that are nearlu the same quality as our kyocera-Big Big Mistake!
