Great camera for the price. Only issue I had was getting a decent fps in Ispy. Once I was able to change my feed from jpeg to ffmjeg. My fps went from .031fps to 22fps. I  no longer have disconnection issues. Setup was very easy through the app.

Great camera for the price... bought it for a Birthday gift and was very pleased

I received this camera a few days after I ordered it, and I have been very pleased with it. The camera is very easy to operate, yet it offers a lot of functionality. I think it is an excellent choice for a moderately-priced digital camera. One of my primary goals was to obtain good battery life, and this camera does that. I purchased an 8GB Sandisk memory card that permits storage of 2500 pictures. I also bought the Canon PSC-1050 Deluxe leather case that can be attached to a belt, an accessory that was invaluable on our recent trip to Arches and Canyonlands parks. Whenever I wanted to take a picture, I simply pulled out the camera in a single motion with one hand. The lightness of the camera, its ease of use, long battery life, and the quality of the pictures make this a great purchase for its price.

Great camera for the price! The only set back for the camera is you have to buy a flash card separately . But a great buy!

I love this camera!  We take a lot of family pix, since we have 3 young kids.  It's small enough to take around in my purse, but is a bit bigger than those subcompact cameras.  I like the bigger controls and the bigger LCD screen.  The main functions are very easy to figure out, and this camera has more features than I know what to do with, for a very reasonable price.
The only drawback is that the shuttler lag is a bit slow, but that's pretty much the case with all cameras of this size.

Great camera for the price.  I absolutely loved the compact size, fits in my pocket.  I needed a camera that is handy and takes great pictures.  This camera does more than that without costing alot.  The Picture quality was great. This camera has many features for advanced users as well.  Replacement battery is cheap like $8 at some vendors.  You will not be disappointed.

This camera is awesome.  It was easy to set up, the app. works great, the picture is super, excellent price too.  I just bought another one for a friend.  You can't go wrong with it IMO.

This is a fantastic camera, particularly for such a great price.  It does a fantastic job at recording at 720p, and it has built in standard resolution modes for things like DVDs, or the web, so you just pick the one you want - very handy. I read a couple of reviews about these types of cameras that say that it is hard to stabilize the picture without a tripod - I don't know what they are talking about. The video is very stable, no jittering at all. The menus are easy to navigate, it is light and fits well in your hand, and the screen is great and can be moved around so you still see what you are shooting no matter what the angle.  It records in low light very well.  Great extra features like video out, HD video out, audio visual in (so you can record from a tv, gamebox or other source).  It comes with all the cables you would need for any of the options.  And as for being well-made - our kitten got hold of it (he liked the little handstrap) and ran it around the house, banging into walls and such, and it still works great, not a scratch on it.  The only drawback is the sound - it needs a foam cover on it or something because it picks up sound almost too well - there is no filter.  I would definitely recommend this!

I got this camera 2/2/2002 and have had a great 6 weeks with it. It compares very favorably in features to cameras selling for much more. It does suck down the batteries pretty quickly, so I got 8 RayoVac NiMH AA batteries and a 1 hour charger at [local retailer] for about $... extra, and now I never run out of fresh juice. It has incredible optical zoom which does not degrade the pixels. Sure you can get a 3 megapixel camera, but digitally zoom it to see something, and you may be using less than 2 megapixels. Not the C-700. Fits the hand well, has good but not great software. Would have been better with Windows XP compatibility included, but it works if you select the camera as a removable drive. Great ability to stitch pictures together to make an awesome panorama picture. The buttons on the back do different things depending on the selected feature on the dial on top, so be careful, you can easily format the SmartMedia card and erase all your photos, like I did once. There ought to be a "do you really want to lose your photo's?" question, but I can't fault the camera for my stupidity. The colors are excellent, the price great.

After a few days of review, I went ahead and bought this camera for my girl friend.  With herself not ever owning a camera or being that big into electronics, this goes above and beyond all her needs.

Accompanied with an 8GB SD card, that can store 30min of video, with thousands upon thousands of images, at highest resolution--she was very excited.

The camera turns on in about .5 seconds, I am not kidding.  It is extremely fast to turn on.  But the bad, it takes about 3-4 seconds from FULLY pushing down the button to:  Shine red light, focus, then finally take the picture.  3-4 seconds to do all that.  So if you want to take a picture and it's in your pocket, you've got about 4 seconds of waiting, that is, if you are quick.

So a way around this, is to half-way hold down the button (which focuses the camera in 3 seconds), then pushing it another half-way takes the picture instantly, virtually just as fast as a camera with film.

Its got lots of fun features...  We've had fun with the 'color accent.'  For example, at christmas, we went up to a tomato, pointed the camera at it, put the tomato inside the little rectangle on the screen, then push the left arrow (grabs the color).  After you have the color you want, take a picture!  The photo is a black & white shot, with the tomato the only thing in the picture with color!  Actually looks really cool.  That was a 'oooo' & 'ahhh'er.

One gripe that high end users will see, is that low light, high ISO photos are not great.  Good at best.  Not only are the photos grainy & noisy, but the screen shows HIGH levels of noise too!  However, turn on the flash, and that fixes the problem, but the issue remains: high ISO images are highly saturated with noise.  Good thing most users will not notice this.

My last camera was a LUMIX, which was a great camera, but I think I coughed up around $500 for that.  This is better than that 2 yr old camera, for a fraction of the cost.

I gave this camera a 5, for fun features, GREAT image quality (with lots of light; day time), Good image stabilization, great battery life, & a perfect price.

This is a fantastic camera.  With hardly a look at the manual, you can operate the controls.  There were only a few items I couldn't figure out just by looking and doing.  The flash gives great pictures at normal view or zoomed view.  On the HQ setting (1600 x1200) with a 64mb card, I get 128 pictures.  At this resolution, my pictures, printed out on glossy photo quality paper, look like they were taken with 35mm film.  This camera has the look and feel of an expensive SLR camera.  It has good grip and balance.  The only complaint I have is that the "Product Specs&quot& ... states that this camera comes with an AC Adaptor.  Mine did not.  The rechargable batteries last a long time.  I bought 4 sets just to be sure I have power when I need it.  Seldom have I needed more than two sets.

Great camera for the price! Nice picture and audio quality, along with being simple to setup makes this camera my go-to choice every time.

I needed a replacement camera, but didn't have a lot to spend, so this Nikon was my choice. I have had it for a month, and I have been very happy with the image quality, from inside to outdoors, and especially close-ups. The camera does not have a lot of complicated features, but the settings work well. I don't use the easy auto setting very much, because it doesn't usually pick the appropriate setting. But I have had good results with the automatic setting, and choosing my own scene mode like macro or sports. I often turn off the flash for better results, and the pictures do not get blurry like on my old camera. The zoom works very well, even after you go past the optical zoom and into digital. The only slight issue I have found is that it is sometimes slow to take the shot and save it so that you can take the next one. This seems to be a Coolpix thing, because my last one did it too. However, my final comment would be on how great the video quality is. I was impressed with both the sound and image quality of the few I've taken so far. If you are looking for an affordable basic digital camera, then I highly suggest the Coolpix L22.

When i learned i was moving to NEW ZEALAND i decided i had to get a camera soon. After looking, i decided the Canon A1200 Powershot sounded good, and for only $99 (Price when i bought it at least.) Which was great. The Camera is awesome. Takes brilliant pictures, and that was put to the test in New Zealand. Battery life is great, even on blinking "Replace Battery" light, it still takes days of light use to die. It has plenty of features, modes, etc. So if you need something simple or something a little advanced too, for a great price, this is for you. I suppose it's kinda big for a digital camera, when i could have bought a smaller one for slightly cheaper, but hey, this thing is worth it. Of course, don't get me wrong, its not perfect, ive had a few isolated issues with it, but nothing bad, at all. It takes great Macro (Close up) pictures. i took a picture of a keyboard and it showed like, every fiber and spec of dirt on the white keys. Brillian camera. The only person who might dislike this would be a professional (Or more experienced) photographer who'd be willing to shell out upwards of $500 bucks on a cam. But for average people, and even people who need a camera for frequent use, this camera is nice. I take it with me everywhere. I do NOT regret buying this.

I hope i did okay on this review, i rarely review things.

For under $100, I believe this is the best camera you can get. I bought it replace a horrible camera that I'd had for about a year. I only paid a few dollars more for this one and it's twice the camera.
It's easy to use and takes wonderful photos even in auto mode. It also has many different settings and adjustments to get the perfect photo every time. In addition to taking beautiful photos, the L19 takes great video with sound, the quality is as good if not better than the flip camcorders.
I was a little concerned about batterie life when I first recieved it, the included batteries only lasted a day but I replaced them with better ones and they've lasted well.
As a long time fan of the Nikon brand, I feel this is a worthy addition to their product line. I would highly recommend it to anyone that is just starting out with digital photography or wants a fairly small and easy camera to shoot quick snapshots.

this is a great Camera (I ended up purchasing elsewhere because I wanted the purple version personally).

i have been using this Camera for a couple of months now and it has been great. recently purchased some rechargeable batteries for it so I will post about battery life at a later time as use the camera more. This camera was purchased for a trip i am planning in a few months.

currently i am using a 64GB lexar SD card and 3500mah Ni-MH batteries. I have not had any problems with focus or poor quality pictures (I am a complete amateur when it comes to photography but i try)

One of the main reasons I chose this camera over others is the vibration reduction. even with shaky hands the pictures one this camera come out awesome. the zoom on this is one of the best in this camera's category along with being very quite. it also allows you to zoom while recording video so that you don't have to stay at the same distance for the entire recording. Another good thing is the adjustable screen which gives you a wide rage of viewing angles.

over all this is a very good camera, I have enjoyed using it so far and will update this review as needed.

update: I have had to change the rechargeable Batteries i am using with the Camera as after testing the batteries there were not holding a charge. i have since purchased some Energizer 2300mAh Ni-MH  which seem to be working wonderfully, i do know that it is a drop in mAh but it is worth it for the reliability. these one seem to be lasting a lot longer.

WOW!!  I'm impressed.  I just bought this camera for $177.74 at Sears.  (Price match of Target sale price $188.00 minus an additional 10%).  It takes great pictures 7MP, and near broadcast quality video (640x480 @ 30fps).  It has full auto mode for the beginner, and full manual mode for the pro's.  I love the manual mode, you can set the shutter speed from 1/2000 sec. up to a full 15 sec. exposure.  With that exposure you can do those really cool night shots of the highway with the car headlights / taillights streaking by, or even take indoor pictures without using the flash.  You can record audio sound bytes and attach them to a still image. I recorded the family singing "Happy Birthday" and attached it to a photo of the candles being blown out.  It has adjustable white balance, and for color correction, you can choose the type of lighting being used (ie, Flourecent, Tungsten, Sunlight, etc.).

  The bottom line is:  This is a wonderfull camera even at the $299.00 MSRP.  But, if you watch the add's you should be able to find it for under $200.00.
