Nikon fit and finish (looks nice)

Very poor lens quality (a Nikon disgrace!) Poor auto focus Slow operation

I bought this camera at Service Merchandise several years ago (before it was discontinued)for $100 because it was a customer return item for resale. Not a bad deal, I thought. It's an APS Zoom Point and Shoot but I assumed that if anyone could make a good APS Zoom camera it would be Nikon. Not on your life! This Nikon is an absolute dog! The camera is oversize and clumsy. There is a terrible time delay between pressing the picture taking button and the camera operating. The auto focus is haphazard, sometimes working and other times, not. Bad redeye. Fuzzy pictures (lousy lens)even when the auto focus is working. I finally gave the camera to my daughter (who is a pretty good photographer with her Nikon SLR). She ran one roll of film through the camera, saw the prints, and politely gave it back to me. it's now gathering dust in my junk drawer and now I'm using an 35mm Olympus Stylus Epic with a fixed 35mm/f2.8 lens. Wow! what an improvement over that Nikon. OK, the Nikon has been discontinued, but don't even buy a used one, no matter the price!

Small, lightweight, good zoom, good program modes (night shot etc.)

Crappy Crappy picture quality... but from what I've seen it's the APS film not the camera.

Buy a 35mm point and shoot, you'll get better quality pictures and it's a LOT cheaper to process them. If you have to have buttons and toys, get a 35mm with panoramic switch.

HORRIBLE picture quality, unpredictable shutter release

This camera was given to me as a gift so I personally did not research it. I feel Nikon is ruining their name by distributing products such as this camera. The picture quality is embarrassing. This camera also comes with a hefty price tag of $300+ for awful quality.

Customer Service

I sent this camera away for repair since the picture quality was so bad and it came back in the same condition it left. When I wrote to Nikon they told me to send it out for repair again.

Nice Apperance - That's about IT!!!

HORRIBLE Shutter release. Red eye reduction does not reduce a thing! and the picture quality is tear jerking.

I bought the camera because of Nikons reputation. The sales associate told me that it was a very good camera. Good for nothing is what the camera was for. Half of the time I tried to take picture it would not do a thing.The pictures were unfocused & had horrible quality. I'm still undecided about APS film my next camera with definalty be 35 mm. As for Nikon being that this is my frist Nikon Camera the chances of purchasing another from them is slim to none.
