Though I’m not pleased with the price –a staggering $469.95– I will say that Nikon hasn’t ever let me down. For the price, I was really expecting a higher resolution –this camera only provides a 6.1 megapixel resolution, way below par for a new Nikon. However, there is more than just a camera in the package so I’m not too upset. The camera includes an f3.5-5.6G ED II AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor lens, a built in flash, and hot shoe –for those not in the know, that’s what mounts the flash.
Most impressive is the start up of the shutter response. Quite frankly, I love a camera that can capture movement beautifully –granted with the lower resolution, you’re not getting the overall quality that you may want; however, you’re able to capture up to 2.5 frames per second (so when you’re at a high school football game, you’re not getting a whole bunch of blur and missing scenes).
I’m not head over heels for the price and I’m certainly not jazzed about the low resolution. But all in all, this isn’t a bad camera –not great, but it gets the job done.
