This is a brilliant hand sized camera from Nikon. This camera has a 8.1 mega pixel resolution which is 8.1 million pixels meaning there is a lot more detail into picture outlines. It also has a 3.6x zoom meaning you can get very close shots of very small things such as incects or flowers . For anyone looking for a camera which you can just carry around in you pocket, then this is a good camera for you. Below I have split the review into sections of which I believe to be important to the use of having a camera and rating /10 along with a comment.

Resolution: 8/10
Sure, 8.1 Megapixels is not the best resolution in the world and you can proberbly find cameras with more pixels and cost less. Though.... anything over 8 megapixels won't look much different to that with 8... it really depends on how big you want your pictures.

Picture Quality: 8/10
Such precise and beautiful pictures can be produced using this little camera. Even though it doesn't have tones of pixels, the overall quality is brilliant. Sometimes it does catch movement and doesn't take it out but always usually looks brilliant.

Features: 7/10
You have a lot of options for taking pictures, you have night photo, landscaping, nature ect... loads of different photo modes. The only downside is navigating through the menu's.... can be quite difficult sometimes.

Power Consumption (Battery) 8/10
Often lasts very long... if you turn it off when not using it. Normal batteries don't last particually long but rechargeale batteries seem to be the best.

Processing Speed: 7/10
It is rather slow. Once you take a picture in very high quality it does take a while for the picture to be processed into memory.

Stuff included: 9/10
Within the box it comes in you have many different cables. These cables are used for linking the camera to the computer and also connecting to your TV. Useful when your on holiday with your family and you can show your pictures on a big screen without a computer.

Overall: 8/10
Brilliant little camera. Has a very high resolution. Lots of different options for photo taking a photo. It's the size of your hand so is very portable and you don't need to have a computers to show your pictures off. Great for the amateur photographer.

*This camera is not ideal for photography experts but very good for amateur photographers.

Summary: Brilliant camera for Amateur photographers.
