This compact is an excellent compromise. In terms of functionality and image quality is very similar to the Canon S90 series, S95, S100 etc that has long been among the references regarding the image quality in a smaller box. Positives: - Ease of use - Image quality even in low light (ISO1600 or more) for such a small device - Compactness - Optical and good quality wide angle starting at 24mm equivalent - Wifi to easily retrieve pictures on an iPad for example (requires the installation of an app on the iPad) - Speed commands - Reasonable price - Video possibilities - Excellent travel camera that I use almost always next to my professional equipment - D4, D800 etc (results are really very good for this price range) - The charger uses a standard USB connection (micro) and many other compatible chargers can be used (eg telephone) The upgradable items - Autonomy is not great (essential to have a reserve battery) - No separate charger, the battery is charged in the unit (-> while you load, the unit is unusable) (However, there are alternatives consistent and inexpensive but not via Nikon) - The zoom range may seem limited for some users (not my case) Conclusion Highly recommended.
