Customer Review: Good Family Snapper
We bought this camera whilst on holiday to replace an elderly 2.1mp coolpix 775. To be honest, the choice in the shop was rubbish, and we bought the camera because it was the only high mp camera at a price we could afford.

To get the negative points over, my gripes are… LCD screen only means that battery life is not as good as the old one - I used to use the viewfinder for taking photos and the screen for reviewing them at the end of the day. I also agree with other reviewers that the screen is not easy to see in bright sunlight. The shutter lag infuriates my wife - she is frequently moaning that the camera doesn’t take the photo as she presses the button, but momentarily after - for some reason thet’s all my fault. in low light, the pictures are very grainy [high iso setting?] or you get camera shake - that though is a problem with inexperience rather than a bad camera - I have made no attempt to learn how to use manual to it’s full effect.

positively - the quality of the shots is excellent, and on fully auto, all the family can use the camera and take excellent photographs. The build quality is good - the camera has a metal body and feels solid and well constructed. It’s size means it can easily be carried without being cumbersome.

This is an ideal low cost camera if you are looking to take “snaps”, but not for more serious photography - though I guess you you’ll be looking at a DSLR for that!

Customer Review: Nikon Coolpix camera
My husband bought this camera for a present in August, off Amazon, We were going on a cruise up to the North Cape. I am so pleased with this camera, my first digital camera, I took over 600 photos on holiday of Norway and I think the quality is excellent, colour, crispness of images. All my photos came out well. I am over the moon with this camera, my husband also thought it was great. He has a Canon EOS 350D. The macro lens is excellent as well. My only gripe is you can’t see the screen very well in bright sun light. Otherwise this camera is a very good buy in my opinion.
