cool for a while

Author's Rating:

Pros: Fits in my pocket, lightweight, easy-to-use, great for beginners, great quality

Cons: Screen doesn't clean well, flash not very strong.

The Bottom Line: 
I would recommend this to someone who needs a reliable camera without too much flair and too many buttons. Not too good for experts.

My Nikon CoolPIX worked for a year. I got it because I wanted a nice camera to take with me on a long trip. It was the perfect size to have with me all of the time,and I loved the look. In that year, it was great. I loved to take photos with it, I loved to take videos, and the sound quality on the camera was great (I recorded part of a private concert on it!). The videos can't be very long, which can be a problem for some people, but for what I wanted, there wasn't a problem. I loved the color and I thought that it was perfectly skinny (but durable). My camera was easliy scratched, but that might be because I was not exactly easy with it all of the time. The lens stopped working, and now it won't turn on...before that, though, I was impressed with the quality and the way it was so easy to use. I loved this camera, and I will probably buy a new one just like it. The worst part about the camera, though, is that it doesn't take good, quality pictures inside of auditoriums, etc. because of the lighting...I missed out on some good pics because my camera wasn't good enough. Great camera for the price and size, though!
