Nikon Review Aug 27, 2008 The item was in a great condition, just as promised. Arrived at the stated date.
"Broken" LCD Aug 12, 2008 I decided to buy this camera for my daughter because of the reasonable price. I thought that we would be luckier than the people who ran into the "Lens error", shutter malfunction, Broken LCD... problems, but it turns out that this camera is very fragile and I made a terrible decision (for buying it and also for buying the extended warranty).
I bought it new in Feb this year. In May, the shutter did not function (close half way, and did not open). I sent it to Nikon and they repair it free of charge. But then, last month, the LCD viewscreen "broke" even though there is no crack, no apparent physical damage, no dropping. Nikon charges $56 for repair, plus a stiff S&H $12.50, plus tax, bringing the total to $71.86... almost the price of the new camera!
I called Nikon and they said "Our evaluation determined the screen is damaged from excessive pressure causing it to bleed. ... this damage is not the fault of the product or of manufacturing and is not covered by warranty".
Well, expensive lesson! I was warned by the many negative comments, but I did not listen! :-((
Very disappointed in Nikon this time!
Spend a little more on a Canon Jul 01, 2008 Bought this for around $80 on amazon, new. It is just that, an $80 camera. Has a hard time focusing and blurs a lot. I get an error message saying picture is blurry even when it is not. Small, compact, yes. Worth $80, maybe. Frustrating...
Lasted One Day May 27, 2008 I suspect this in not typical but the camera I ordered worked fine on day one but on day two it would no longer turn on. I replaced it with a different model of Nikon camera - only because this model was no longer available.
Image Stability Issues May 27, 2008 Nice form factor, low price, but the painfully long latency from shutter click to actual snap of the photo means that most of my photos are blurry. I have had a series of Canon's that have just as many features and not this latency issue. After getting back home and seeing most of my trip photos blurry (imperceptible on the LCD viewer, but painfully obvious on the desktop monitor), I put this thing on the shelf and went shopping for another. In the scheme of things, I would rather pay $50 more and know my photos will be usable.
I am extremely disappointed in this product. I expect more from Nikon.
