positive:
+ Compact (easy) housing (compared to SLR)
+ Impressive zoom (from 3 km still tie office worker in Tower visible)
+ Beautiful images even in low light without a flash with good light amplification and low noise
+ Flash is very bright and fills the space
+ Battery lasts for 400-500 photos (spare battery costs only 5.00 Battery for NIKON EN-EL5 replace for COOLPIX 3700 4200 5200 5900 7900 P3 P4 P80 P90 P5000 P5100 P6000 S10 P 3 4 80 90 5000 5100 6000 S 10)
+ Fine, large and bright display (you can even with sun all recognize)
+ HDMI - Output
neutral:
+ - Thin sound with video recording (only heights - no bass - image quality is top)
negative:
- Close is almost impossible, the autofocus in macro is a bad design (!!!)
Conclusion:
Example, if you often want to photograph flowers or like very close, this camera should not buy. For all other purposes, and for beginners and average users, it is ideally suited. It exceeds conventional digicams in almost all areas. I am very pleased. Incorporation into the menus to go fast.
