 Professional photographer view of this camera, February 22, 2010
By Marybeth
I am a professional photographer that owns the Nikon D300 and Nikon D80 slr cameras for professional business. I bought this little camera because I was seeking a pocket size "everyday" camera that I can pull out when I need to and to take to social engagements where my other equiptment is too bulky and something I don't want to risk. In reading some of the reviews, I think that this camera is getting either too good a review or definitely too bad.
People: this is a small pocket size point and shoot camera that has up to ISO3200, 12.1 megapixels and video capability all rolled into a product that can be bought for $200 on sale and taken ANYWHERE with ease. It is ONLY a point and shoot and NOT an SLR so therefore, does NOT take phenominal pictures that a $5000 SLR camera with expensive lenses would. It is ONLY a point and shoot camera so therefore when you HAVE noise up in the 1600 Iso range or in the video camera, having purchased this for this kind of money without expensive lenses should not come as a surprise even compared to all the other Camera point and shoots and its competitors.
My point here after owning this for 2 days but having owned a previous Canon point and shoot for 5 years before the Nikon slrs? Canon makes a PHENOMINAL product that does what its supposed to do in this tiny little portable package. If you want to make money off your photos? If you want to have pristine quality...go get an SLR and plunk down $1500 or more dollars on ALL the lenses and bodies and education that will make that happen. If you want a convenient cute little camera that gets the job done VERY WELL...THIS is well worth the money. As a professional photographer, this is my new everyday camera...the Nikon D80 is my backup and vacation camera..and the Nikon D300 is HANDS DOWN the "bread and butter" camera for there is NO comparison.
For the average person who wants a GOOD camera that does what it should IF YOU RESEARCH ALL the features and LEARN what this can do....THIS is your camera.
