Stuart, Ferryside Point & shoot

Score 8.0/10

Good points:: Very compact and easy to use. The flash is excellent for the size of the camera.
Bad points:: Zoom control is much to sensitive, and hence it is very hard to get the perfect shot.

Victoria, Hereford Point & shoot

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: This camera is very easy to use which for me is a definite bonus. It is compact so fits easily in a pocket. It takes pictures quickly which again for me is a bonus as I work with young children and quite often digital cameras are quite slow and when taking a picture I often found with other cameras that the picture was taken after the 'moment'. The picture quality is great. I love this camera and hope that it lasts me a long time :)
Bad points:: I don't have anything negative to say about this camera.

Confirmed purchaser Keen amateur

Score 7.0/10

Good points:: It is simple to use, especially if you are already used to Nikon point and shoot digital cameras.
Bad points:: The zoom function is rather poor and does not focus well at all. I bought this as an upgrade to a 5MP Nikon Coolpix digital camera and the quality of the picture is no better than that one.

Product Features

Camera Type	Compact
There are 2 main types of camera: The SLR and the Compact. SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex. SLR cameras use a prism to reflect the exact image as seen through the lens and so offers a more accurate viewfinder. SLR cameras have detachable lenses offering greater flexibility if you wish to take a variety of different photographs. Compact cameras have a built in lens and an ‘above lens’ viewfinder which is less accurate but they are often cheaper, more sleekly designed and easier to carry anywhere with you to capture that moment perfectly without having to fiddle with complex settings or a bag full of lenses.
Resolution (Megapixels)	12

Optical zoom ratio	5

Type of image stabiliser	Electronical Image Stabiliser
If a photo is taken at a slow shutter speed, or at a long focal length, the effects of ‘hand shake’ will be amplified. Some cameras come with built-in image stabilisation which is designed to act against this to produce sharper images. It’s great for low light shots without a tripod, like at a gig.

Elegant design: boasts an ultra-slim body with diamond cut finishing around the lens barrel.

NIKKOR wideangle 5x zoom lens offers outstanding precision and sharp resolution. (35mm film-format equivalent: 28 140mm.)

12.0 megapixel resolution lets you capture outstandingly detailed images, crop creatively and produce stunningly-sharp poster-size enlargements.

Large 2.7-inch LCD monitor with wide viewing angle, brightness boost function and an anti-reflection coating to enhance visibility in bright sunlight.

4x anti-blur automatically counters blurred images in four different ways. Electronic VR (Vibration Reduction) reduces the effect of camera shake. High ISO (up to 3200*) light sensitivity reduces the risk of blurred images with fast-moving subjects or in low-light. Motion detection compensates for camera and subject movement. Best Shot Selector (BSS) automatically selects the sharpest of up to 10 sequential shots.

Superior color balance: Auto white balance technology inherited from Nikons award winning D-SLR cameras delivers images with natural looking skin tones and true-to-life colors.

Smart portrait system: advanced automatic features for perfect portraits. Smile Timer takes the shot when your chosen subject smiles. Blink Warning alerts you when someone had their eyes closed. Blink Proof shoots two pictures and saves the one where your subjects eyes are open. Skin softening adjusts uneven skin tones on your subjects face for smoother looking skin.

Subject Tracking AF will keep the camera focused on a selected subject, even if your chosen subject is moving about.

Scene Auto Selector selects the optimum Scene mode for popular photographic situations.

Quick Retouch lets you enhance images taken under poor conditions so they appear sharp and vibrant. The original image stays intact and the camera quickly creates a duplicate image with the best balance of contrast or saturation.

Macro mode lets you get as close as 3 cm to a subject and capture minute details with crystal clear clarity.

Advanced Face Priority AF with in-camera red-eye fix lets you quickly detect and focus accurately on up to 12 faces in the frame, and corrects false eye color due to flash the instant you take the shot.

D-lighting creates pleasing results by correcting strong shadows to rescue underexposed images, or shots taken with excessive backlight.
