Nikon Coolpix 5200 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
While seemingly well-built, this camera was returned after a few weeks of use. After using Canon’s for years, this camera took great picutres, when they weren’t blurry or over/under exposed. There are too many settings that change the white balance, etc. that made shooting quick photos a pain. Movies worked well until you played them back (only in quick time), but were choppy and crackly. Recycling between pictures took forever, so you missed a lot of shots. The red-eye-reducer did not work at all. I fiddled with it until I had enough. I returned it and got a Canon SD300. No hassles, no adjustments, just point-and-shoot for great picutres.

This camera took fine pictures, but the software didn’t work. I was told by Nikon tech support that software problems were common and maybe “they rushed this product to market”. The software wouldn’t let me crop,reduce red eye or catalog photos as it was supposed to do. I returned to camera for a refund. An altogether frustrating experience. Don’t buy.

Gift was enjoyed by 13 and 14 year old siblings. The delivery service was terrible. I suggest you find another source as this was not the first time I have made purchases from Amazon and I have always been satisfied, but it was the first time I used this outsource. Never again Cametta Camera.

I really wanted to love this camera – but alas, it was not to be. The ability to capture video with sound at VGA was a real big selling point for me, but of course, it is primarily a still camera….which is where it falls terribly short.
The first one I bought I had to return because the focus was defective. I called Nikon and they said to take it back. The second one took decent quality photos, but not only was there a pixel out on the display (which would be okay if the camera wasn’t $525), but there was also a defect on the ocular viewfinder which showed as a “warped” area in the form of a line right across the center.
I have a Kodak DC290 2.1 MP that is about six years old and it takes much sharper pictures that this Nikon. I was really shocked by the lack of overall quality control (two cameras defective) and the lack of sharp images. For now, I will stick with my old Kodak until something with all the features that are in this Nikon comes along — and works.
***UPDATE***
I returned this and got the Sony Cybershot DSCP100 instead. WOW! What a difference! With the Sony, all of the same horrible test photos I took with the Nikon came out excellent! Not only that, but I saved $100. Thank you Sony…
