Not Nikon's best - Reviewed on 2007-10-27
1 customer found this review helpful.
I wanted to like this camera - I really did. I'm an enthusiastic owner of a D80, which I adore. So when I needed a small camera for travel, I thought this sleek Nikon would be just the thing. It looks beautiful, and it's so tiny that holding it almost makes you feel like a spy.
But after using the camera for just three weeks, I returned it to the store. There's the annoying finger-in-the-frame tendency that other reviewers have mentioned: even though you know you need to compensate for that, a finger still winds up in the shot occasionally. There's also the fact that once you account for all the bulky wires and chargers and accoutrements, it's not such a small package after all. And the battery life was far too short. But most importantly, there's the picture quality. Though it is possible to get great shots with this camera, I got far too many that were grainy, and it didn't perform well in low light, either.
I wish this had worked out - I love Nikon and I loved the way this camera looked and felt. I just felt I couldn't trust it with my once-in-a-lifetime travel photos. I suppose if someone were looking for a camera to snap party pictures or around-the-town shots, it could be a good choice.
