" ... This camera took decent pics the first time we used it, it does take some time to focus but for a trip to Mexico that included parasailing this was perfect and we enjoyed using it. ... "
" ... Wish the zoom was better, but again, it is an inexpensive camera. ... "
" ... No cell phone's digital zoom camera will ever match an Optical Zoom in a P&S! ... Pictures were sharp and clear and the optical zoom make close ups of skittish fish a lot easier! ... "
" ... Love that it can zoom without the actual zoom lens moving/protruding from the exterior. ... "
" ... I took some close up pics and some further away, sometimes using the zoom and others not and the autofocus worked great for all those scenarios. ... "
" ... Zoom works well, and it powers up quickly for on-the- go tourist shots. ... "
" ... This is a good camera, but it doesn't zoom in like the non waterproof cameras. ... "

" ... I went to Italy with this camera bought a storage card. ... "
" ... We filled three memory cards with pictures and replaced the battery once. ... "
" ... A nice camera for our 7-year-old, but sometimes it needs to have the memory card removed to reset it, since the camera will wrongly register the memory as "full." ... "
" ... As I had just installed a brand new 32G memory card, I knew that could not be true. ... "
" ... Camera itself hardly holds any pictures - you'll definitely need an external memory card. ... "
" ... You do have to order a memory card along with this camera. ... "
" ... Great, no memory cards included though. ... "
" ... If you want movies get a memory card with lots of capacity. ... "

" ... This is the fourth Nikon product that has failed or disappointed me in a row . ... "
" ... The quality of the pictures was often poor and blurry, apparently due to condensation between the case and the lens, though it could have also been due to water beading on the outside of the lens when used in the ocean (though I was careful to clear it when taking pix). ... "
" ... I will NEVER buy another Nikon product again. ... "
" ... Also, I thought I could deal with the lens bubble in my pocket . ... "
