 Don't Do It October 23, 2008

I am very unhappy with this camera. I had an Agfa with a swivel lens and when the pixels started missing after 7 or 8 years, I decided to replace it. I searched for another swivel lens and found this one. The images I take with it are almost always burry, no matter which setting I use. I had to return it to Nikon for repair when it stopped functioning (the shutter problem another reviewer described), fortunately (or unfortunately) it was within the year warranty. It is very much a disappointment and for the price, I feel cheated. I wish I could give less than 1 star. Anybody up for a class action lawsuit?
Avoid like the plague, good when working , broke after 2 holidays July 1, 2008

At first i really liked this camera, it took some really good outdoor pictures on my holiday this year and last, However after very little use and no damage/drops etc. it no longer works.
The camera has a design flaw in which the internal shutter fails to open and therefore photos cant be taken (well a black screen comes out, but that is all) everything else about this camera was ace.
Looking on the internet for a fix, it would appear this is a massive flaw and nikon are failing to recognise the problem. 1000's of broken camera's all with the same problem, some only a few weeks old, some have been repaired for the fault to return a few days later.
Do not buy this camera, it is a problem waiting to happen. I personally will not buy another nikon product as my holiday was spoilt due to this.
 Not as good as earlier and later version February 22, 2008
Valentina Erastova (uk-spain-russia)
I had earlier version of this camera and i really enjoyed it. I also liked that the battery can be charged in the camera. unfortunately, i have lost it very quickly. Then I bought this one and i was disappointed. quality of the picture is very bad. using 10X zoom is not such a good idea either, as you get horrible handshake. My dad bought himself a newer version of this camera (s10??) and i have used it for a bit and i was satisfied. though this is not a camera to be taking pictures of sport, even it has a special mode: it capturers many pictures in a row, though at the moment of capturing the picture you see black screen, so it is nearly impossible to follow the object. This camera does not really woth its price. and the funky twisting mechanism breaks (that happened with mine). Now i have Nikon s500 and i am very happy with it and it is also much cheaper.
Awful Camera Awful Service January 23, 2008

I purchased this camera less than two years ago for nearly $350. It recently would blur when trying to focus. I'd manually focus the camera, but the autofocus would override it and blur the picture. The camera tries to be too user friendly, and you can't configure any photo settings manually.
The camera would not focus anymore, I sent it away to Nikon to get it repaired, and they wanted $115 to repair the camera.
So I paid almost $200 a year to have a sub-par crappy camera with bad software.
Don't make the same mistake I did. Never buy a Nikon. Ever.
not worth the price December 12, 2007

i was really excited about this camera. i dabble in photography, but wanted a camera i'd have a little more control over, and would be able to experiment with while taking professional quality shots. this little guy, however, just doesn't cut it. the flash tends to wash everything out, and you have to use it even when there's adequate lighting. also not great for action shots. i've yet to be 100% happy with a shot i've taken with this camera without using some sort of photo editing software. i work mainly in b&w, and the colors are never as crisp as i'd like. if had it to do over again, i'd go with something else.
