- Camera itself is nice, clean and functional. The box did not contain any cables for transferring of photos, nor audio, nor instructions in English. Rather disappointing ... BUT the camera seems to work well and the photos and functionality will work. First digital camera, have to learn somewhere.
- I am nowhere near a professional photographer and so far I take all my pictures in \"child\" mode (because I have two toddlers) but I think this camera is amazing! My old Nikon Coolpix finally drove me insane enough that I needed to get a new camera. I was sick and tired of all my pictures being blurred our messes that had to be deleted later. I lost so many great photo moments due to blurred faces or disappearing limbs I wanted to chuck the camera across the room (I didn\'t of course, then I would be down a camera and have to clean up one more mess). I wanted to try stepping into DSLR cameras without killing myself with an impossible price tag. I did a lot of research. I read side by side comparisons, read over 20 reviews per camera I was considering, compared all the numbers and looked at pictures taken with the different cameras. I even went into Best Buy for an opinion and to see how the cameras felt in my hand. In the end I went with this one (the snazzy color was a bonus, but not why I chose the camera). Let me tell you how excited I was taking pictures with this the first week. I would grin from ear to ear and pester my family telling them how clear the pictures were. To dispel any illusions here I will inform you that my kids are hardly ever still but I have pictures of my kids mid jump on the trampoline and throwing leaves in the air (you can actually see the shape of the individual leaves). The moment when my son grins while his GG hugs him was not lost because they were moving or the lighting was bad. I have used this camera inside and out in good lighting and poor and I have not been dissapointed. The in camera edit features are fun too. To sum up this camera is fabulous if you\'re not looking for the most impressive camera on the market but for a great camera to capture life\'s special little moments.
- To begin with, I found this camera to be not very user friendly. Many times when I click down the shutter it refuses to take the picture and also very frequently it refuses to start live view which is required to take video and displays \"unable to start live view\" error message without giving me any reason why which doesn\'t help me fix the problem. Understandably, this got me very frustrated. When I googled this \"unable to start live view\" message it basically gave me the options of resetting everything to factory default or it was because it was overheating. If it is overheating in only 57 degrees F after 2 minutes of use then that is a pathetic battery. I went whale watching yesterday in Newport beach on a nice, mostly sunny day and the pictures of it were appalling horrible. Out of the hundreds of photos I took there were only about 6 that were somewhat clear and there was about 7 that were very over exposed and the rest were somewhat blurry (of the whales when I zoomed in to them). All were taken in auto mode. To cut nikon some slack I (the photographer) and the whale (the subject) were both moving so it was in difficult conditions. To contrast my mom (standing right next to me in the exact same conditions) took pictures with my 2010 (much older) Canon SX20IS and got the same quality of shots with only half the megapixels (12MP). That is a huge red flag for me. Photos in shade in a canyon another time also turned out over exposed in auto mode.The reason why I don\'t give this a 1 star is because when I took indoor shots and outdoor shots of canyons (where the subject and I both weren\'t moving at all) it took impressive photos. It behaves pretty well in low light. To be fair, the 60 fps video is also pretty good. In other words I\'ve found this camera to be good for things that are not wildlife. Another contributing factor was my whale photos were on a 200 mm lens instead of a 500mm so I think they would have turned out better with a 500mm. I might update and change this review in the future especially if I am at fault and doing something wrong.
- I remember back in 1997 when we had a digital camera in the lab where my then company was generating karyotyping images. Batteries lasted about 10 minutes, and the images couldn\'t compete with film. Now, nearly 20 years later, we have advanced to the point where this affordable DSLR allows hacks like me to quickly learn how to take amazing photos with accurate colors, proper focusing, and basically tell me what I should do to get a pleasing photo.I should say, that I immediately replaced the kit lens (which I\'m sure is fine) with the awesome NIKKOR 35mm 1.8 lens, so a lot of the reason I\'ve been getting such good photos is that I\'ve been using good glass.And I should say that I was amazed at how much I learned about using this camera, and photography in general just by watching tutorials on YouTube about this particular camera. Combined with useful on-screen graphics and clear display of settings, it was quick to learn how to set settings like the ISO while using a fixed aperture or what the various auto-focus settings do. This is a great teaching camera.I don\'t understand why there isn\'t a standard peg hole next to the tripod threaded hole on the bottom. It\'d make it easier to fix this firmly to my tripod. That and the chintzy polycarbonate material this things shell is made of are my only complaints. I am just in awe of the value of this camera. Competition with cell-phone cameras has made Nikon put out a great product for the money.
