Well, the Nikon has kept exactly what I imagined something like this: Nature photos outdoors in good light: halfway ok (but nothing to compare with the SLR ;-) in space or in a darker light: rather do nothing. Can zoom fully forget the same. Photos with iPhone 4 are definitely qualitatively much better than with the Coolpix ... But as we had expected, mobile phone or SLR at the really important excursions was always doing addition.
Now the most important part: underwater shots: yes: you can use them for fact - partially submerged even stunningly beautiful colors (for example, were swimming in a cenote and the water color has become really nice - maybe I can do it technically to post a few photos here. . so that you can make you own opinion was also on turtles hunt (snorkel moderate) and hurray, have two pieces about 3 feet or so discovered below me - and snapped - no more color now all the rage and I when photographing also null seen (display for me underwater "black" because I'm so far stretched from my camera, so that it is closer to the turtle) So, you press then stop on suspicion now and if you're lucky, you caught the desired object . was crazy happy when I saw then that the toad was on - a nice, even though memory, but without a camera if I had nothing at all ;-)
You should pay attention but if you were previously in the water and then wants to take pictures above the surface to say that water droplets "cucumber" in front of the lens - in other words: the photos have a mega blurred part it ... I had to learn, haha ,
I also remarked that in on the lens wet fog has formed in the housing, which had resolved only after half an hour. So when she would sweat indoors - they came from our air-conditioned rooms in approximately 29 degrees Mexican winter temperature - and was not in the water.
We still retain, as a next vacation water is likely to follow hopefully.
