1st things 1st. while i was considering to which camera to buy i was trying to find out what is being given to you besides the actual camera. i havent found any post about it so just gonna mention whats in the package -camera -2 cds: a reference manual cd and a software cd to upload on your computer. both are very well designed and easy to use..anyone with nikon really has alot to get out of besides the camera..dont have the time to go thru every detail on the cds, ill be here for another year typing.. -usb cord about foot long or so - these 3 plugin cables to attach to tv or whatever theyre used for..i dont really use it so i dont really know what it can be used for.. -you also get the actual module guide in a booklet as oppose to the cd..whatever works..im sure theres some sort of diff bet the2 just dont have the time to find one.... -nikon neck strap -a cover for the lens the camera is excellent. i saw in the comments that ppl complained that if you zoom in the camera shakes and you lose stability and cant take a proper picture. i can tell you thats not fully true i realized the camera shakes bec its probably too sensitive-its your hands that cant keep it perfectly straight when your zoomed and focused at a particular thing- i zoomed it on my table its totally fine..if you have trouble keeping it straight the solution is put on the flash button- i realized that even if you can keep your hands steady enough to take a clear pic- as long as the flash is on itll come out perfectly fine...the zoom is absolutely amazing.. i took a pic about 15 feet or more away from a yogurt can and i was able to read the ingredients on it!! it has a very sharp zoom for pics and video really fantastic to see!!! the thing that makes this camera diff then others is the sd card slot..for some reason idk why when you insert the sd card it still will run on the camera memory and i still havent figured how you can swap it..what will happen is itll go on camera mode and if or when you run out of space it will move to the sd card..you can also take a pic and copy it to the sd card memory afterwards- just its a little annoying if your concerned the camera will just suddenly break and you'll lose those very few(its only about 45 mega bites on the camera- about 10 pics..) pics on the camera. im not so fussy about it...just buy a good case and and take pics only when the strap is in your hand or around your neck and you'll be fine..ive been taken pictures for a number of years and ive had no problems doing that.. i would give a 4.5 star bec of this small issue with the sd card but being there is no such thing as giving half a star ill give a 5..i feel bad for the bad ratings on this camera for those who dont know how to use one and are complaining about zoom when its not true.. if your looking for problems youll def find no matter how good the item is even if it were $1500. but if your like me that you just want a good camera and you'll deal with things that come on the way (if you want to call it a problem) you'll be totally grateful for buying this product..GUARANTEED wish you all the greatest success!

Where do I begin - to tell the story.... Well a certain generation know the song - but I LOVE this camera!! We were looking for a camera that was easy to use but had a terrific zoom - for stills as well as video - for an upcoming trip. Purchased a great SONY in January but while the pics and video were great it was just too cumbersome and having to change the lens was too much trouble. Wanted to have something "all-in-one" and this camera fits the bill! (The cost was much better also!) I live with an awesome view of the ocean and local areas - I have zoomed in on neighborhoods across the bay, used macro for super close-ups of flowers, took natural shots easily because the shutter is so quick, caught birds in flight, and have the most awesome pictures of the moon - craters and all! We have still not tried all of the settings but are working on it! Our only issue - and this is our problem not the camera is when the camera is in full zoom: 1) If you are not using the highest setting it might be pixelated and 2) it is so sensitive that when you take the shot it "offsets" from center. Of course this could be solved with a tripod but who's carrying one all the time?! The camera is with us all of the time - my mother called it "my mascot" - because you just never know when that super moment will come up!! The only con to this camera is the same as with all digitals - no eyepiece and there IS a glare in the sun. Absolutely Love it and recommend the following accessories: rechargeable batteries, a minimum 32gb, class 10 sdhc card - you will need it :) - and the screen protector. Go for it!! You will not be sorry!

SO we have been dealing with 2 kids in all kinds of sporting events with a Canon EOS Rebel digital...we had an old 35mm Rebel (remember when Agassi had long hair and camera's took rolls of film?!!!) and then we moved to the Digital and then we started buying the lenses. AND more lenses. AND more lenses. It seems our camera bag would get bigger and heavier each year...we finally went to a backpack! oh yeah...since everyone loves video...we'd also carry a camcorder! One shooting pics, one video. ugh. Anyway, the digital zoom in the camcorders was just kicking butt over the SLR with it's lenses you had to pack and then change out all the time....and now they are starting to get nutso over backpacks at sporting events... anyway, we searched the BEST and WELL RATED Digital Zoom camera on Amazon - that came with Prime and free returns if we didn't like it. haha - you couldn't pay us for this camera now! The zoom is just beyond words...really...unless you pay $5000 for a lens for an SLR camera...you aren't getting closer than this little gem. Auto focus is amazing, even at the most magnification! It's just wonderfully simple to operate and our pics come out amazing from the camera shop printer. We used to print our own...but hey, at around 50 cents for a hard copy when we want one...who needs a photo printer at home! Video's - yeah...we don't carry the camcorder anymore either! just an extra memory card! Takes fantastic, HD, full action video that just looks amazing on the ipad or even hooked up to the TV. It fits in my wife's purse easily...and we walk hands free now. If I'm carrying it it fits in a jacket pocket or hangs on my neck just fine.

I bought this camera in on October 9, 2013 from Amazon. I received it on Oct. 15. I really like the pictures it takes and the camera in red. I thought it was great for the money. I think it takes very good pictures in low light. However, I am having a problem with the "Movie Mode". Every other time when I go to "Movie Mode" it locks up and no buttons work. The display still shows, but I have to open the battery cover and reset the camera. Sometimes it will record the full 29 minutes of video. Then if I try it again, the camera will freeze up at 28min. and 53 seconds. So it looks like there was 7 seconds of record time. But it doesn't record anything. It allows 29 minutes of video at a time. It counts down from 29 minutes. So at 28min. and 53 seconds it locks up. Every time it does this, I have to open the battery cover to reset the camera. Then it may work, or may not work in "Movie Mode". Nikon said that since I initially used a "Nikon non recommended" SD card , the Transcend Class 10 32GB 18 MB/s, (The Transcend card was featured on Amazon as recommended to buy with the camera, so I bought it), that I needed to get one of the 4 cards on their list of approved SD cards, one of which is Sandisk. So I bought a Sandisk High speed 32GB 45MB/s card from Amazon and I received it today very quickly. It still does the same thing. I recorded a video, stopped, and then tried it again and the camera locks up at 28 minutes and 53 seconds left to record and needs to be reset by opening the battery compartment. Nikon told me today after I received a supposedly "Approved Card" from Sandisk,,,, that I damaged the camera by using the Transcend card in the first place. Again, The Transcend card was featured on Amazon as recommended to buy with the camera,so I bought it. Nikon says I have to return the camera to them for repair. What kind of BS is this? My fear is that they will try to charge me for something that I should never have caused a problem in the first place. I suppose I have been lucky, but, I have never had this kind of problem before with products that I have bought from reputable companies. I did not!! think I would get a problem like this from Nikon. I wish Amazon would take it back. They have been so good. I see several other reputable Vendors that recommend Transcend SD cards and also some other brands that are not on Nikons list as well with this camera. Has anyone else had this problem? I am not happy!! I don't want to send it to Nikon before Xmas. I see several other reputable Vendors that recommend Transcend SD cards and also some other brands that are not on Nikons list as well for this camera. UPDATE 5/1/2014: I sent the Red camera back to Nikon NY. They didn't do anything to address the freeze up in Movie mode. They said that they cleaned things and sent it back to me. It locked up the second time I tried movie mode. Now I am really pissed. Meanwhile, I bought a "refurbished" Plum camera from Adorama and a new Sandisk class 10 SD card. It works perfectly with all the SD cards that I have. No lock up which requires the battery compartment to be opened to reset the camera. So I went back to Nikon and they had me send it to Precision camera in Connecticut. I also sent the new SD card and batteries. After being "In repair" for a week, they sent it back to me saying they they cleaned all contacts, Complete Repair and return all functions to factory specs, Firmware download, corrections and adjustments, Address values and adjusted. Nothing about the Movie Mode issue. The camera froze up the second time I tried Movie mode. I guess they just threw away the letter I included describing the PROBLEM!! I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS CRAP FROM NIKON! At least they didn't lose my SD card and batteries. The camera froze up on the second try at "movie mode". After 7 seconds the camera freezes up, and I have to reboot by opening the batter compartment.
