Awesome Camera

I had this camera for over three years, and it never gave me any problems in those years. Just recently it broke though, it doesn't turn on, so I just figured it was time for an upgrade since they have all new cool features on the new cameras. Nikon has always been my camera brand favorite, and I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a simple point and shoot digital camera.

Coolpix L1

I am a beginner with digital cameras, and this camera has worked great. I got it about three years ago, so I pretty much know how to use every mode on it. This camera works great for still shots and scenic pictures. Also, it takes really clear pictures of close up items, such as plants or insects. It also has many different settings on the "Scene" mode, that can allow you to take pictures of fireworks, make a panorama, and many other things easily. Also, this camera is very durable. I have dropped it countless times in the snow, in puddles, on cement, and it still works well. However, this camera is kind of hard to use for action shots. When you press the shutter button, it takes a full two seconds to take the shot. Two seconds may not seem like much, but, for example, when you want to take a shot of someone kicking a soccer ball right as it leaves the ground, after two seconds, the ball is a lot farther away. Also, it burns through battery power fast, so rechargable batteries are a good investment. Overall, I think this camera is a great choice for a person who wants good quality pictures on a camera that will last a long time.

defective 2 times

I ordered this camera in May and it would not shut off when the button was hit. I contacted the seller and returned it at my cost and was sent another the end of June. I contacted the seller when I tried to use it the second time at it was doing the first as the first camera. I have contacted the seller 3 times since and have never received any solution. It has been almost a month since I last heard from ABCDEALS.
Beware!!

Worth the price, best for outdoor/daylight

I bought this camera because I needed something inexpensive that I could break or lose without feeling too bad. The camera is worth the price, but don't set your expectations too high. It's a great camera to keep in your bag at all times but probably not the end-all of your camera needs.

Pros:
Price
Nikon quality, very durable
Battery life is MUCH better than most digital point-and-shoots

Cons:
Flash stinks, which is expected for an on-camera point-and-shoot
Lag time between shots in low light is painfully slow

Muy buena!

Esta camara es muy buena. La calidad de imagenes de las fotos es excelente, tiene gran variedad de funciones y aun facil de usar. Pero tiene algunas cositas que yo diria en contra, el lente pareciera estar un poco "flojo" y con los nuevos modelos que han salido ahora es un poco grande y pesada, pero del resto excelente, aunque despues de aprox. 2 años comenzó a grabar un sonidito cuando estoy grabando el video, no se si lo que quiere decir es que necesito una nueva!!! :-))). En general excelente compra, fotos muy nitidas. Recomiendo este producto ampliamente!

Great little camera

Perfect solid litte camera for the price! I hate those plastic cameras, they feel so cheap, not this one. Only feature that's not so great is the zoom but for $100 I can't complain.

I'm satisfied

I like this camera and I'd recommend it. While at times it doesn't like to completely close the lens and/or shut down when I power it off, it's still a good purchase in my opinion.

This is easily my forth or fifth digital camera over the years, so I know what I like and don't like- as well as need and don't need. My needs are pretty minimal and I'm pretty sure 8.1 MP was overkill for me. I don't do anything fancy and really only desire a camera that's easy to operate (ie I don't need to resort to the instructions or manual) and takes decent family photos. However I did research this camera prior to buying and it seems some people thought it even good for more advanced levels of photography- of course, not professional.

I will say it seems a lot less durable (the actually camera casing??? not sure if that's the correct term but I'm going with it- the black part) than I expected- especially for a Nikon. Oh, I will it requires rechargable AA or digital camera AA- so plan on either buy a least two rechargable sets (to have one and one for back up) or lots of AAs bc it's pretty typically to most cameras on battery life.

But minus few random things I mentioned, I'd say it's a pretty good camera and very user friendly (my mother even figured it out within a few attempts and she just recently figured out call waiting on her cell phone! So that says a lot!).

A Little Sleeper

Purchased N/P50 in early June 09 , took it to Niagara Falls , Ont . , and shot close to 400 pictures ! In rain , and mist conditions , with careful usage , I have some of the best Digital Pictures I have ever taken ! D Lighting saved me in numerous situations , and my shots of N/Falls from the " Maid of the Mist " are just beautiful ! I used Lithium Batteries and for Three Days I was captured by this Little Wonder of a Camera ! Prior experience helped me , of course , but this Digital Camera made the whole Trip completely worthwhile , and enjoyable ! High praise to Nikon ! R E Keay

nikon coolpix p50

Someone trashed this camera in a previous review, very early after it appeared. The truth is, the P50
is a excellent camera, that is capable of taking really great pics. Closeups are crisp, scenics are
spetacular, due in part from the 28mm wide angle lens! It has a VIEWFINDER in addition to the lcd panel
on the back. I had a p50, and lost it about a year ago. I was lucky to find another one here in Amazon...
I bought it from SWIMMOUSE. Great guy to deal with. Brand new in the box. I'm a happy guy again, snapping
pics almost every day. I have two other 10meg digitals and they don't hold a candle to the Nikon P50.

Not Nikon's best work

Being an avid Nikon user (D300) wanting a decent image producing camera, the P50 does not deliver. Nice features and manual settings +/- exp., time lapse, etc. I miss the quality images from my previous Canon point-n-shoot.

Compact, full featured, great pictures, but not for action scenes

I'm a novice photographer and the Nikon 8700 was the first camera I bought
that was a step above the point and shoot Olympus camera I've owned for
over 6 years.

I had read many great reviews on this camera and it lived up to all those
expections, minus one: this camera is not ideal for taking sports or
action pictures. I was quite disappointed with the results after trying
to take decent pictures of my sons playing indoor basketball and outdoor
soccer. I finally did some research and learned that (like another
reviewer had observed) only digital SLRs have the responsiveness and
speed and capability to take action pictures. With the 8700, the shutter
lag speed is one factor- you click on the shutter release button but it
takes a portion of a second before the camera snaps the picture. I then
thought that with manual settings (shutter release priority mode)I could
correct that behavior, but no combination of settings changed or improved
the result. The result was the images coming out blurry. I was surprised
at this and thought it was a camera setting, but after doing some more
online researching I found out that (1) the major digital camera review
sites do not seem to cover any sports or action picture taking and
(2) a lot of users of the 8700 did report the same problems that I
encountered and (3) you can improve sports shots by learning some basic
techniques because some claim that no matter what camera you have, you
do have to apply some of these techniques, which is basically predicting
your shots and having knowledge of the sport in hand so that you know
when to prepare for your shots. In either case, those folks did confirm
the weak sports mode and limited capabilities of the 8700, which seem
to be more pronounced than other cameras.

As a novice user, the only other negative aspect of the camera is its
difficult access to the options, which is not intuitive, especially when
you don't use the camera a lot and you're under time constraint to take
a picture (of a sports scene) and don't have time to fumble around to
figure out how to change a camera setting. And I'm quite a technical
guy who had already read the user manual. I'm sure with time one would
be more familiar with the menu system and how to tweak a specific setting.
I guess the camera's strength of many features can be its own weakness.

Other than the two above mentioned weaknesses, I would have to say that
with the many still shots of landscape, people, and even animals, this
camera has made me look better than my novice photographer status. Along
with the Canon inkjet printer I have, I can print out better than the
lab photo quality pictures at home. However, I am looking for a true
digital SLR just to compensate for the lack of a decent sports mode in
the 8700. Better digital SLRs have either 3 or 5 fps for continuous
shooting modes versus the 8700's 1.5 fps, but of course they are in
two different classes and price ranges.

Best of the line

The 8700 is the successor to the 5400 and 5700, now with 8:1 zoom. It has all the features of a SLR with a LCD monitor but is smaller and lighter (no interchangeable lenses).

Fantastic camera

I originally purchased this camera based on rave reviews in Consumer Reports, and have not been disappointed. It is amazingly easy to use, but has many advanced features - many of which I have yet to touch. I've logged about 2,000 photos with this unit. I rarely run out of space on the SD card. The only quirks is that you can sometimes get it into a weird mode, then have to review the manual to figure out how to back out of it. Not very intuitive, but then a cameras feature set is not like writing software. I recommend a small camera pack and extra battery so you can swap out when needed. The tele lens is unreal, I have taken long range photos by just hand-holding the camera that came out pretty nice. For really long shots, use a tripod. The telephoto lens goes into digital mode when zoomed all the way out. I was in Disneyland taking a photo of some guy on the Matterhorn and was able to get an unreal closeup that came out crisp. Even zoomed back to normal the camera collects a huge amount of data that you won't realize until you copy it to your computer.

Hey! "It's A NIKON--It Just Doesn't Get Any Better"

As a one time semi-pro photographer, I wanted to get into digital photography from a "real" standpoint. While there are many good camera brands, you just don't go wrong with Nikon. I wanted a camera that looked and felt like a real camera. This is not our first digital camera, I gave my girlfriend a nice Fuji Finepix for Christmas. For an accomplished long time 35mm guy it was strange looking at an LCD Screen to set up your shot. On the Nikon, push a button and the LCD information shows in the eyepiece viewfinder with a diopter adjustment like a true 35mm SLR.
The LCD screen rotates and swivels so you can take shots and see them from armslength distance. Picture holding the camera above your head to get a shot and rotating the LCD so you can see and set up the shot. I wanted to be able to manually take photographs and still take "point and shoot pix". I am still reading the owners manual and learning many of the fine points of operation. So far I really like this camera, within 5 minutes out of the box, I was taking pictures, and the nice thing about digital is you don't have to keep the bad shots. I am confident that this is goinng to be a great camera for my needs

My favorite digital I've owned

I've had a few digital cameras before this one, and I hated the quality of each and everyone of them. I was a novice (still am very much an amateur, so don't expect technicalities in this review) I was drooling over a Rebel that I can't afford nor, do I know how to use yet when I came across this one. I wanted a camera that took good crisp, clear shots, with good color. I have a digital scrapbooking business and my camera is a HUGE part of my business, so macro shots had to be good too. Plus, I scrap my own children's photos, using the fine setting on this camera, and they are perfect!

I have to agree with the sports shots and knowing the sport before hand because of the lag time, and you have to have the button pressed half way down focusing before the action you want to shoot occurs. Figured this out when my son does goal kicks in soccer or the other team is coming at him for a goal shot. I have to have it focused and ready before he goes to grab the ball.

I only use optical zoom and it is AWESOME. I can be sitting across the field from him where he is playing and still get a clear shot of him, and you can't tell how far I was from him. I was really impressed.

The color, I love the color. Like I said, I've had a few doozies for digital cameras, before I really learned what I was looking for in a camera, getting pictures that were either washed out without color or pictures that were almost yellow in color. I love the color that I get with this. My youngest daughter had the bluest eyes, and I would almost say this enhances the color of her eyes in a picture.

I can say now that I am a Nikon woman and when I can upgrade, I'll be staying with this company.
