Awesome Recreational Camera

Just make sure to buy a memory card with this because it only holds 4 pictures without one. Also, the neck strap is not very supportive, so I would suggest buying a better one. Other than that, this camera is AMAZING! I bought this solely for recreational purposes and it works very nicely--the zoom is fantastic!!! Overall, I am really satisfied with this purchase.

My roommate had this camera and I loved it.  We could take it to the beach and get some of the best photos on our dogs in the water in action.  I should post that photo.  It could take video under water.  We could take it snowboarding and not have to worry about it.  Best Camera for the outdoors kind of person that goes everywhere. Oh did I mention the photo quality.  IT IS FANTASTIC!.  so you can't go wrong.  easy to use and so much fun.

We bought this camera for out costa rica trip. It was great we took it to the beach everyday. I used it to take under water photos of fish in tied pools. It served us well. Only thing is make sure to rinse it well after every use in salt or pool water. It takes good photos and can go just about any where. Only bad thing is low light photos are a bit grainy and there is a bit of delay when taking the photos that can be annoying.

All around it's an AWESOME CAMERA.  Endless photo opportunities.

After losing two cameras to water-related accidents, I decided to get something that could survive my active lifestyle. This has been a great little camera, easy to use and many under water excursions to date. My only regret is the zoom (4x). Up close its great but it doesn't have the capability to do justice to anything at a distance. My suggestion is to spend a little more to get something with more zoom.

Bought this as a birthday gift for my granddaughter. She has been very busy with it and I am amazed at the pictures that she has taken. A lot of them are frame worthy and she managed to take a great down town picture of the little town she lives in at night. This is a great value for such an awesome camera. Would buy it again without any hesitation,

We purchased this camera for Christmas for our son who has shown some interest in photography.  We didn't want to go full blown DLSR, but we wanted to something a bit beyond a traditional point and shoot.  He has already taken some stellar wildlife photos along with a couple great shots of the family dog.  The optical zoom is unbelievable.  The camera isn't going to fit in your pocket like a digital elf, but that isn't what it was designed for.  On the other hand, it is perhaps only a third of the size of a DLSR, so it has a fair amount of portability.  The 3 inch screen is great for reviewing shots on the camera.  You can see the screen quite well in bright light.
The camera has a ton of features that will allow him to experiment with more advanced photo techniques as he grows into them, yet it is taking brilliant pictures right out of the box.  We couldn't be happier.

This camera was a great buy.  I have known what model I wanted for over six months.  I found a refurbished one listed as "like new" condition.  Well the condition was absolutely true; not even a single scratch on the body, screen, or lens! The auto focus option really takes guessing out of what setting to use. But, its flexible enough I can manually focus if I am going for a particular visual affect.  My son and I had a great time playing with the sports shots.  It fires out about 20 action pictures so quickly, and quietly we didn't know it captured anything the first time, but the pictures were wonderful.  This Nikon camera gives us lots of options for shooting great pictures and playing with creativity. It was a great investment for my family.

I bought this camera because our friends have one, and have been very happy with theirs. Because the zoom lens is attached (as compared with a professional camera, where you switch lens' for higher power), I knew that I would be allowed take it into music venues. I  Love this camera!  I am a single parent with an active 6-year-old and I found it easy to whip it out in order to capture many special moments during our recent trip with friends to Red Rocks, CO for three nights of amazing music. The "automatic" setting did a pretty good job with both day and night settings. It takes great pictures during the day, but I am still learning how to use the camera for better photos at night.  Additionally, it is extremely light-weight which is wonderful when you are hauling around  enough snacks and warm clothes for two.  Satisfied amateur photographer here.

I began my prosumer photography only a few years ago when I bought a Nikon D40X with 15-200mm VR lens back in January of 2007. I would haul around that camera everywhere I went and got very good at setting and framing shots. But as time went on I noticed I wasn't taking my camera with me as much, then not at all. The issue for me was the size and the amount of storage space I required for my other lenses and accessories. I felt odd carrying all of that around.

So at the of 2011 I made the plunge into mirrorless and sold all of my Nikon gear and bought a Fujifilm X10. The camera took some really great photos but in order to accomplish things like good dynamic range or a bokeh effect the camera did a little trickery putting two images together. The results were fairly stunning but the image size was cut in half, to roughly 6MP. This made large prints out of the question. This kind of bothered me and made me wonder if I had gone too far away from the DSLR lines.

My next attempt was with the Sony NEX F3 camera in early 2013. That camera was fantastic and I was getting DSLR-like images at about half the weight. But I quickly understood that with the interchangeable lenses, I was going to run into the same problem I had with my DSLR. I bundled it up and returned it after only 1 weekend.

I was so impressed with the Sony NEX and it's awesome flexible flash that you could point toward the ceiling or wall with your finger during a shot to get indirect lighting that I found myself looking at the Sony RX100. There was a lot to like about the RX100 and it checked off a lot of my needs. But I wasn't sure if it would be quite right so I waited. And I'm really glad I did because the RX100-M2 is everything I was hoping for and more. It's highly portable and even pocketable in a pinch. It has that flexible flash. The backside illumination on the sensor and higher ISO means I get great shots in low light. Incredible amounts of detail in every shot that I can zoom in on and crop thanks to the generous 20MP size. The camera performs so well that I actually used it to shoot my cousin's wedding and some of the shots I got look every bit as professional as shots you see from high-end cameras. All-in-all I believe I have found my every day camera (until phone cameras catch up and then the point-and-shoot is over).

As someone who likes taking pictures for fun, this is the perfect camera for me.  I really wanted something that provide high image quality and something easy to operate.  I did some research and found some images of the Nikon Brand.  I found out it is also one of the better camera brands.  Before I used a Canon Sure shot - 35mm,  I assumed the shots were good, and it was easy to operate.  With this camara, I see the results immmediately, and it is still easy to operate.  The rich colored, image quality is amazing and superb with this camera. I also like the feature to choose lower megapixels for smaller image size, if desired. I still do not know a lot about the camera especially the SLR cameras, but I know what I see looks good to me.  The comments from the other customers are very informative and helpful.  Right now, I will enjoy this camera as is, a great little camera with professional results with the option to advance with its' accessories.

I replaced an aging, battered digital Rebel with this camera, and could not be more pleased. Great images, reasonably good video. Fast for multiple shots, as high as 3200 ISO lets me shoot indoors without flash even with the kit lens. The kit lens is nothing spectacular, but does the job for a good all-around workhorse. The camera has proven to be durable.

My only complaint is that the user interface required me to open the manual to figure out how to set ISO.. but that was it. :-) I would absolutely recommend it as a step up from a pocket camera, for backpacking and hiking, etc.

I'm been using this camera for 6 months, and I really likes the quality of pictures taken. When I use the full zoom the clarity on the LCD screen and the capability to move it in different angles is very useful above all in light conditions. Macro options also is amazing because the picture have pro quality. If you want to take wildlife, specially birds, I'll recomend use in sports mode + continous shoots. I'm very satisfied with this camera. Highly recomended.

I carry this great little camera everywhere.  Add an Ikelite Underwater housing and you have a perfect compact camera for all your recreational scuba diving and snorkeling adventures.  The built in flash even works great for underwater night shots.  Many of my film-making friends want to know what kind of expensive camera I'm using to get such wonderful shots.  They are amazed when I pull this tiny camera out of my shirt pocket.  The batteries last for at least 2 long dives. All photos are clear and bright.  Easy to use with XP.

Great camera, awesome for outdoors, and adventuring. For the price definitely the best camera going! The LCD display on the back makes it easy to view video and photos right away!

Excellent camera! A lot of fun to use and there's tons of cool accessories. Battery does go fast though. Don't forget to turn off the wifi when you're not using it.....saves a little battery!

Had this camera for four months and love it. The single lens is so versatile that it eliminates the need for multiple lenses. I purchased it mainly for sports and nature photography and I'm very pleased. This camera is capable of so much that it will be some time before I'll be able to take advantage of its many features.
It's a nice equipment package but the supplied camera bag is quite small. You may also want to purchase a dedicated flash. The camera is equipped with a small pop-up flash which is adequate for indoor family photos.

Anyone looking for a solid, durable camera for both outdoors and water related adventures; this camera is perfect for you. Once we got it, it immediately we went out to the mountains and brought with us. I used it in the pool, hot tub, hiking, and climbing. I carried it the whole time in a side pocket of my shorts and its small enough not to be bulky, and really quick and easy to use. Battery life is excellent as well. I absolutely love this camera. Picture quality is really good. I highly recommend this camera for any outdoors person. I can't wait to take it to the ocean, when I go scuba diving.
