## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are people having isssues with this camera  because they do not use the sd card nikon suggest to use or does this not matter ?**
A: I used the sd card- and still had the problem. Sd is only for memory storage- shouldn't be the cause of the problem

**Q: Does this camera take clear and good photo's?**
A: I was not happy with the quality. I even had a professional photographer help me with it and she could not get clear pictures. I've always liked Nikon products but I must have gotten a bad one. I gave the camera away and got a Canon.

**Q: does it change lenses**
A: No. One Lense that doesn't detach

**Q: Is it good for shooting at night or in poor illumination conditions?**
A: Hi! I shot at night with the macro option, using the flash, and I got a good results.  You have to keep in mind that the approach needs good ilumination to focus properly. So you need another source of light other than the flash. In night shootings without macro, I'd got normal results.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice camera images so crystal and clear and zoom is nice..
*by R***E on October 25, 2020*

First of all it's really nice camera for the cheap price.. ita good for zooming even so far it can be capture a clear images i was so impressed with this camera i love it this is my first digital camera and i feel enough for this camera 😍 that camera much better than smartphone camera..

### ⭐⭐⭐ Decent camera--but not exceptional
*by V***S on June 10, 2014*

An ok camera-nothing wrong with it but nothing out of the ordinary. Takes decent pictures most of the time. A few shots always seem to come out blurred--maybe 10% of the time. No big deal with scenery etc- just take another shot-but with pictures of animals and such it can be disappointing. Not unhappy with the camera--but there are better for slightly more money. I leave this in my car just in case I see something worthy of a picture. For a lower priced camera that takes quality photos most of the time--it's not a bad deal--just don't have your expectations too high Pictures are pretty good quality except for the random blurring--auto focus can be a little on the slow side--not too good for action shots. I'd buy it again--for what it costs it performs well and meets the needs for which I purchased it. I'd recommend rechargeable batteries--while regular batteries last a while--it's worth the money to have ones that can be recharged-course you'll need a charger too. Probably a good camera for someone just beginning to take a serious interest in photography.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Decent camera
*by J***W on March 16, 2014*

I've been using this for about 2 months now, and here are my thoughts.The biggest problem I have with this camera is the blurriness. At first I thought it was just the view screen, because it is terribly low resolution, but its the actual pictures once downloaded. It does fine in conditions with lots of light, but indoor and afternoon/ night photos almost always come out slightly blurry, regardless of settings. It even happens sometimes when it is set down with a timer! Very frustrating. I only paid $130 but if I had paid the full retail I would have returned it already.My next biggest complaint is the zoom. I was exstatic to find a 26X zoom on such a relatively cheap camera, but its so fast and jumpy! The shortest tap sends it about 3 or 4 times further than you would reasonably expect, and it takes a full second or two to actually start zooming once the button is pressed.Everything else about this camera is great, i spent 20 bucks on rechargeable batteries which last longer than I expected, especially since battery life seems to be the biggest complaint in reviews.Overall, I would say you definitely don't want this camera if you want to take quick, good pictures without messing with settings, but if you're on a budget and want a camera capable of taking great pictures with a bit of effort, this is the one for you!
