Only for outdoors!

(Vijaybahu Joshi - 1/10/07)

Bought this camera about 9 months back. Has developed lens error (stuck lens) twice. Too much zooming in and out wears up the battery very fast. Also the interface design for Aperture and Shutter priority mode are not that clear. Outdoor shoots are ok, but try using the 'landscape mode' and you'll get over saturated red and green tones, which comes quite faded when you use a regular autofocus mode. In slightly low light condition one feels like tying the subject to chains to avoid shakes or else carry the three legged object everywhere with you. Macro like most other cameras works fairly good. The camera is a bit bulky and can be used as 'stone' for hitting in case of a life threatening situation. Also the WiFi feature is useless, since being very slow and complicated, also because, why would someone take the pain of loading a software to eat up your 'ram' when a simple USB cable can do the magic. Over all, it is an average pick, like most Nikon where the red, green and blues are slightly over saturated.
