I'm just starting out selling on eBay and wonder if this would be a decent camera to use? I'm starting out small and on the budget. Thanks!

I've not been disappointed with a Nikon yet with picture quality. I love as well that its aa batteries meaning quick to get back running it bat dies and sd card is a good standard.

As a former ebayer I would say yes: This would be a great starter for you. It has a software program you install on your computer and "import" from the camera to the computer (or from the scan memory card.)

It is an awesome camera. I love mine. Takes very good close ups as well. Good detail. Best digital camera I have had so far!! Good luck on Ebay.

I have purchased at least 10 of the coolpix cameras, Specifically for this power supply, since it is AA batteries. It seems like the older cameras were easier to focus than the new cameras. These cameras are used every day and my business. They last about a year. As long as you are careful focusing the cameras, and make sure it is on the right setting it will be fine to use.

Looks like others have already answered your question...so I'll just add that I'm very happy with the camera...it's sharp and the controls are reasonably easy to use...love the 11 frames per second drive (not at the very highest resolution, but you can use a higher resolution for, I believe, 8 frames per second), the manually operated zoom, and the waist level finder...lots of capability for the price...lots of people buy dSLRs who don't need one...unless you're going to make large prints (16x20 or larger) this camera should be all you need.

Greg...thanks for the great comments on the E510. You have confirmed my own research. Seems to pretty much be the best value in the DSLR group at this level. I really appreciate you taking the time to help us out. Based on your comments and some others, we have ordered the E510 from Amazon. We will check out the pics you took. Great help! regards Dar

Hey Sean,I am eager to see your new posts about your camera. Since the prices are dropping dramatically here, I will order one soon myself. On another site, someone said that one of the issues with people... not the camera is that they keep expecting it to do what a DSLR (I think that is right/ I am inexperienced here) does. What are soft images?

I'm no producer or anything, but this camera does take great video. It's got a decent warmth to the video also. If you're going amateur and would like a decent start up camera, I woul suggest this camera. Just keep in mind that you can use it only with a high powered computer. A regular computer won't be able to handle this thing... I am thinking of selling mine. My old MacBook Pro doesn't handle the files too well...

Thanks for the input and advice. I'm new to high-end(expensive) digital camera market. I realized after I posted this question that the camera is sold out or otherwise unavailable now and it could take a month or two to get one even if I ordered today. I'll definitely look into buying one in the next few months.

Thank you very much for the reply. I took the one back that I purchased at wal mart and ordered the same camera from buydig.com. Saved almost 100.00 bucks. I really haven't had a good chance to try it out yet but will. Your post really helped me feel better about the camera.

Baku: I purchased a D70 s new. I purchased 2 used D 70 s cameras, one through Amazon. 1. I was pleased with the quality/condition of the unit; there was an instruction booklet, charger - the condition was more than I expected. Now let me tell you what a premier repair shop in Cleveland said. "It is everything you need" talking to me. I have a 35-70 2.8, 80 - 200 2.8 and a 85 1.8 among others. Mike's retired principal has a D 60 and he takes great photos. If you can purchase a D 70 s used ( I assume you have Nikon lenses ), it is worth purchasing. I know, I know the latest sounds like it is a great camera & some people like to take streaming video but, I am a bit of a purist. Mike

If you check ResellerRatings.com, quite a few people have accused this vendor of scamming them. The reviews seem to fall into two groups: "they're scammers" and "they're perfect". The simple fact is that you're never going to find a legitimate dealer selling these popular cameras for substantially less than everyone else. But you WILL find plenty of scam shops offering low prices to suck you into a bait-and-switch scheme. Stick to spending your hard earned money at honest sellers like Amazon, B&H Photo and Adorama.

Yes I bought mine brand new years ago. I did not expect it to be a very good camera as I paid a heck of a lot for it. But I did get to lens with it one close the other far. It is totally computerized but you can do your own shooting if you wish. Here is what I can say about the camera. You would think only 14.2 mp wouldn't give you a perfect picture? Well let me tell you the pictures it gives are way to perfect and I will say I'd like to see you shoot a bad picture! As you won't. I'd buy it and have the best fun you ever have experienced!

I have only used mine once. I am finding it is kinda a joke to use. I would love to return it. Or even sell it..But other then that it is good for someone who loves to take photos from afar.

I must edit my answer after thinking about it and writing it while mad the first time. I bought this camera from another seller who used this SAME EXACT AD, WORD FOR WORD, CUT AND PASTE. The camera I got is an 808 #3 CLONE. They've offered me my money back and let me keep the cheapo camera but then again, I only paid $12 for it. If you're paying $100 I really hope it's the right one and they just have the wrong pictures in this ad. Do you homework on the 808's, there are many and the higher the number the more option and the more they go for. A #3 does 640x480 and 3megapix photos and is worth about $10. There's the #6,#8, #11, #16, #20......#26. the #26, if real, will do everything this ad says and is worth more than $100. I'd like to give credit to this company for being honest if they are but also call them on it if they are not. Good luck.

Yes this is a great camera for this price. I would recommend the Sony to anyone. Some one wrote that it is slow and in some cases it can be but that is mostly caused by charging the flash. I have used mine to take thousands of pictures and I love it. It takes some expermenting in the begining but you can learn what features that you like and some that you don't like. The in camera guide is very handy. The feature that I use very much is the "sport" feature and with that I use the 10 frame burst. I use this to take pictures of my Grand childern playing football and baseball and track. As I said it is well worth $250.

I think it's great. It's made me a much better amateur photographer. As far as how current it is, this is the first DSLR I've had any experience with. I have no reference point from which to judge if it's outdate or not.

David, your comments are pretty great. Have you considered writing and self-publishing (or finding a publisher) a simple--say 100 pages--explanation of these cameras? I think you'd find a market. I'd buy one.

This Camera is in class kind of the middle of the road for the top end of Canon, BUT! I have had really good quality pictures with this camera. The movies have be very good also. Keep in mind that a camera is just a camera with out the right lens or settings for each shot. But if you don't have a lot of money to spend on a camera then the Canon T4i should work for you well... Go to my site and view my photography work. This will give you and idea on what kind of photography you will be turning out with this camera... You be the judge. https://www.facebook.com/PhotoByJamesPhotograohy?ref=hl

Faye,This is an amazing camera, but small and used recreationally by my husband. I can't honestly answer your question but would suggest finding it locally and checking it out in person first.Denise
