Times have now changed, today's cameras can almost everything better than the former Dinos, and you have Nikon not least through the FE for me a reputation of quality, no other camera manufacturer knows reach (even if I know I so now would be wrong ;-)) Vlt. Can thus explain why I am disappointed after unpacking but: Low to plastic, a weight which gives an idea of the a fall of 80 centimeters can even zersprngen the Body, a feel and a device size that does not make me happy .. ,
After Einlegrn the supplied AA batteries (well, those that can be purchased almost everywhere and is so independently of a power outlet.) Starts the Coolpix quickly. The scene modes with the usual presets can be intuitively select and set the camera for certain motifs and lighting situations correctly - well resolved, but standard.
When triggered, the next surprise, the autofocus in good light and contrast quickly and reliably, it is sluggish in non-optimal conditions.
Will still need the flash be switched on, the recording for short puzzle is: snapshots are then almost impossible because the subject noted that the camera is directed at it.
Overall, the camera takes photos at set useful, and supported with programs and fortunately optical zoom the casual photographer. By cheap processing and the slow release time, the Nikon deductions that are not typical for the class of such Kompaktkniosen, for me but at least are remarkable and their impact on the total does have note.
