- General -
The Nikon Coolpix now convinced me not only by their image quality, but also by its networking capability, which makes it attractive for perhaps convinced smartphone photographers.
Processes the camera is initially properly, it has a pleasant heaviness in the hand (of course not too heavy) and is stable, so it is also ideal for traveling. Due to the good feel and by the pan, turning and folding the camera also has a great handling. So the screen can be rotated for example Selfies also forward. Size Technically, the camera moves in midfield, will say in your pocket it is a little too big (are indeed in the Coolpix series corresponding mini-formats).
Various programs, as they are known by almost all modern compact cameras, of course, are onboard: various automatic functions for different sceneries (interiors, animal portraits, Back Light, Panorama, etc.), effects (sepia, Selective color, blur, etc.) movie recording mode, etc. All the works well and can be easily adjusted via the menu, at least after a short employment (a detailed manual unfortunately is not with, but can be download at Nikon - but as I said, who briefly looks at the menus of the camera, will have the hang of it quickly ).
An image quality, there is as I said nothing to complain about. A special feature is the flash, which must first be extended before you can take pictures with flash (has the disadvantage that you can perhaps with a rapid absorption Forgot times). Of course, the 30-times optical zoom puts even distant subjects in stunning quality up close what I find very large advantage over smartphones. Slight noise you have to take into account when too dark environments admittedly still.

Particularly noteworthy are the wifi function and the GPS function. Using GPS can be on an integrated in the camera's internal memory map of the world (similar to a GPS device, just not quite as much detail), first time show its own position, which spontaneously perhaps can be useful sometimes, especially if one with the Camera I traveled. But much more interesting is the possibility of providing images with GPS Location tags. If the option is enabled, you can see exactly on the world map, where the corresponding pictures were taken! When shooting subjects that represent well-known sightseeing highlights that a beautiful thing is perhaps not particularly significant, but in the little things that you times "by the wayside" photographed and where the individual is later not always exactly the "Where" can remember.
In addition, you can simply connect the camera via WiFi with another device, such as with your smartphone. The WiFi connection allows well better transfer rates than Bluetooth. For smartphones Nikon offers the free app "Wireless Mobile Utility" on. This installs quickly and enables the connection between your phone and camera. So you can also go fast times push some pictures wirelessly to your phone and instantly share online. In addition, you can use the smartphone as a remote control for the camera. It then looks virtually the image that would portray the camera else on the camera's screen on a smartphone (almost Surveillance Camera qualities;), can use the zoom and of course trigger. Ideal for Selfies. The images are then immediately transferred onto smartphone.
- Conclusion -
A camera with which one can make really great and quality photos. Through the optical zoom also farther subject to be photographed well. While the camera will not fit in your pocket, but it is compact and sturdy enough that it is suitable actually for any kind of trip and fond memories guaranteed - not least because of the GPS tag function. By Wifi option they can enter into a symbiosis with the smartphone and is useful on all occasions.
