A lot of problems [Posted on 2008-09-24] Purchase around Mother's Day.
I decided to purchase the Nikon since I have a D50.
To summarize the problems:
Couple weeks after purchase the shutter would not close and the camera would not shut down without taking the battery out. The camera was in repair ( Best Buy) for a month.
Right after I got it back it would not read ANY memory card without taking the card in and out several times or at all. Plus the camera would not shut down again without taking the battery out.
Went back to Best Buy . Had the camera services for the memory card reader error and the shut down. The camera was in service for a month again. Just received the camera back yesterday and again the camera has a problem reading the memory card. So far it is shutting down.
Best Buy's policy is to bring the camera in 4 times before it is considered a lemon. No matter if it is the same problem. I am taking it back to Best Buy today.
Stay away from this camera. The pictures are not nice. My brother purchased a Cannon and it takes a lot better pictures and he has no problem with it.
Hope it helps.
Great camera for the price [Posted on 2008-09-25] I bought this camera because I travel a lot, mostly to sporting events. This camera is perfect for me because of it's size. I can just put in my pocket and not have to worry. The day after I bought it I went to a NASCAR event and snapped over 200 pics. All came out perfectly. My wife likes it because she can carry it with her and have it handy to take pics of our 1 year old. I highly recommend this camera to someone who can appreciate the covenience and quality.
Perfect with flash! [Posted on 2008-10-03] Before this camera I always used Canon and get very used to Canon's applications and style. This time I wanted to try new thing and everybody suggested Nikon. This one little bit slower than Canon SD 850 but it has perfect color control with flash where Canon doesnt have! It very small and easy to use. I like it but if I need to buy again I will prefer Canon instead.
Easy to use [Posted on 2008-10-04] The image quality is not as good as I expect. However, I am not buying a $300 or more point & shoot camera.
Nikon [Posted on 2008-10-05] Have been very pleased with this camera; it's very ease to use, basically point and shoot. Light weight so it's easy to always have with you.
