When unpacking me is directly noticed the low weight of the Cam. I like that because it can be a constant companion wherever you go. The silver casing makes optical ago what is "only" made of plastic. Yet I do not feel that as a negative. Because I want to do so with the camera photos and win a beauty contest.
The Coolpix has no own battery, but is powered by 2 AA batteries. So you can start right away, Nikon 2 has it already supplied. Toll! The manufacturer also donated even a small bag and a strap. Unfortunately, that is no longer standard.
Operating the camera is easy to use and self-explanatory. By means of pictograms you can make various settings such as Portrait, Twilight and sepia effect. The small images are clearly visible even in spite of the small display. In addition, the display also the description will appear.
I've tried the Coolpix both in the dark and in bright sunshine. Photos are at first glance very good and sharp. Whether I have statues, animals or people photographed, the colors are rich and true to life. Also photographed against the sunlight, the Coolpix makes good pictures.
On the laptop showed then that the Nikon its 16 megapixel can not fully exploit. Because once you zoom deep into the photos taken, you can see blocks and the like. Therefore, I would use the camera for snapshots and more on the go and do not for the most important moments that I want to capture photographically.
Conclusion: a great little companion who is worth its price. Anyone looking for a lightweight camera for the quick shot in between, is right here.
