Before I say more, I'll tell you I haven't downloaded my pics yet onto the PC, will add to review after.
I'm coming from an HP Photosmart R817, this Nikon is a very close relation to it! Before I had 5x optical zoom, and 5.1 mp - very happy so far. When taking pics with Nikon pics look grainy on-screen, once you press shutter button, face detection waits a bit to make sure subjects open eyes, then takes pic. After a sec. the pic is clear on screen. Flash seems plenty strong for about 5-10 ft.
Enjoy!!

My wife was very pleased with the camera. Ease of use is very important and she had no issues with changing between different types of shots or videos. Just remember that many card slots in laptops and towers that support SD will not necessarily read SDHC cards. We found a great card reader that plugs into the USB slot. It works quickly and is small enough to slip into the camera case with the camera. We love the camera!


5 out of 5 stars Great little camera   October 3, 2008

I bought this to replace my Olympus camera after 2 years of wear and tear from teenagers! I am pleased with the ease of use and quality of the picture. I decided on this camera after reading reviews and comparing to the Olympus. The only thing I am not thrilled with, the cord to download pics onto PC is pretty big and bulky. The olympus is a single cord. The Nikon is a whole box,cord and audio/video thing. Other than that. I feel it's great value for money here and I am completely satisfied.
