Free web space on Nikon's new on-line photo album facility; Nikon Fotoshare
Compatible with the Coolpix System of optional lenses


Excellent sturdy camera, easy to use and the software was easy to install on my computer.

This is a great camera from a well known manufacturer. It is very easy to hold and simple to use. Once you open the box you will be taking pictures straight away. The settings are clear and the instruction book is very thorough. It produces top quality prints at 8" X 10".

This camera is retailed at £399 but you can pick it up from around £359 on the internet.

You will of course need to buy a bigger CF Card as the one supplied is only a 16meg. The Lithium ion battery that comes with this camera will take well over 150 pictures before needed to be recarged even using the LCD most of the time.

I have had this camera for over 2 months as yet and have found no faults with it.

Recommend.
