Ease of use, easy to transfer pictures, acceptable quality of pics, although I have seen cameras which do better.

SYSTEM ERROR appears to be a VERY COMMON occurance. Nikon is less than aggressive in solving this problem (since it occurs in many models. Nikon does not respond quickly to complaints.

Bought a Nikon Coolpix 775 (I think that's the #). After several months being very happy with it, it developed "System Error", after talking to Tech Support and reading online reviews, I had my doubts that if fixed, it would stay fixed, so I returned to to Costco where I bought it. I then bought a Coolpix 2500 from Camera World. Big mistake. After a little more than a year, this camera too has a "System Error" and from online searches it is clear that this is a very common problem, that the camera must be returned to the factory for repair and that repair is no guarantee that it won't happen again. I will try to talk them into a free repair, since I don't think it would be worthwhile to invest money in the repair but I will never trust Nikon again.

Another Nikon Coolpix (which failed).

good outdoors under daylight conditions, compact design, easy to use.

flash photography is pointless, battery life is so-so

OK for the beginner, but for anyone looking for more...forget it. Simply put the flash is too close to the lens. Terrible results in low light. If you can get by and plan to use this camera outdoors in daylight conditions and turn the flash off (in any mode!)your results will be great, but thats all its good for.
