How long have you had yours ??? I had purchased one last year and it stopped working the same evening I started using it. I was able to return it and invested in the Nikon 910. But, really do not want to spend that much for another. I want to use it on...

I actually am going to try and return the Nikon CoolPix I recently purchased. The auto focus is not working correctly and the zoom takes too long to focus to take good action pictures. Once focused, it goes blurry when you snap the picture. May be only my camera, but I was unable to take ANY pictures of my daughter when she rode in an evening parade recently. I suspect it has a defective auto focus since no one else can get it to work either. You might want to go to a local camera store and try one out before purchasing. The camera is nice sized and has a great zoom ability which is why I bought it to use at my daughter's horse shows. I actually am going to try and return the Nikon CoolPix I recently purchased.

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 wish I could help you. I tried the Lumix briefly and decided that it was not what I wanted and returned it and bought the Nikon 7100. It was more expensive. My old Panasonic Lumix was awesome! I dropped it into a pail of water ugh. Hope someone can help you with the lens issue. Durys is pretty up on the operation of the cameras they sell if you go to a large outlet.

I sent the flash back because I was extremely dissapointed how long it took to refire again. The company I bought it from gave me a hard time and wanted to charge me a restocking fee. I fought with Amazon and the company and they returned my money. I have learned that if you really want a good flash to work with a Nikon, buy a Nikon flash which I did. I hope you found this helpful.

Hey Donna......we had the same problem so returned it. My husband ordered a Nikon lense and has encouraged others not to buy other brands. They just dont work on the Nikon. Hope this helps.

I sold it to someone that has a D5000. Frankly I did not like that lens at all that's why I sold it. I used it on my D300 and D5100 as you are moving along all of a sudden every 7-10 shots it will be a blank photo. I am a wedding photographer you cannot have that. I don't recommend that lens at all. The best lens I've ever owned was the Nikkor 18-200... the 18-300 is in my wish list. You can purchase the Nikon 18-200 for 650.00 these days. That is cheap I purchased mine at 1500.00. I don't regret it I don't ever interchange lenses since I purchased it.

Also I bought the camera used. I have probably shot 20,000 pics with it because it is not my primary camera. No idea how many shots taken before or what maintenance may have been performed. It was previously used by a news outlet though. But I had the shutter replaced on my primary camera (also a 1D Mark IIN that I bought new in 2006) and it has worked perfectly since then.

I had a similar problem (battery wouldn't hold a charge). I purchased another replacement from Amazon and still the same problem. I sent the camera to the Nikon repair facility in Long Island NY and they sent it back in the same condition with the note that I used a non-Nikon battery. I played that game and ordered a Nikon battery, charged it up and, you guessed it, same problem. Sent it back to Nikon with the Nikon battery and got it back with the same condition. My assessment? That repair facility is staffed by idiots who are unsupervised and I purchased a Sony camera to replace the Nikon. End of story.

This information was super helpful. I had the exact same question. I tried, several times, contacting the seller with no luck. I never thought to contact Nikon. Please share if ever you find a good, inexpensive, wireless remote for the D3100. Thanks!!

I had that cable and when it worked, it worked. More than not, it would shoot whenever it pleased among other things. Return it and get the Nikon. Unfortunately, I was out of state when I got fed up with it for the last time and I just threw it in the garbage, which is, in my opinion, the appropriate place for it.

FYI, when I got mine replaced, they honered the original warrenty(1 year) expiration date. I love this camera, 'cause no one knows your shooting when carefully placed in pocket! WEEEE! Got it replaced this last summer, current one still working great, although that same connection is getting to the spooky point! SO, I just B VERY CAREFUL now! 4 the price, and it's NO DETECTION ability, it's WELL worth it!

I love how this always works out for me. I wanted this camera for my cruise on the 18th, but went ahead and got the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 12x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 3.0-Inch LCD (Red) last week because I didn't think the Nikon would be here in time. Now that it's here, what should I do? I like the GPS on the Panasonic, but it takes HORRIBLE low light pics. Any help would be appreciated!

Brandon. It doesn't say when you asked this question but I figured the answer out. First, I just purchased the last one that a storefront had for $289, so i'm sorry if I stole the lens from you :X. Second, the price is going to be interesting on this lens from here on out. It has been discontinued due to a recently announced new model. The question is how much will this new model cost? To my knowledge that hasn't been answered. I decided to snag it at this price because if the new model is upwards of $400 then it out of my price range anyway. If the new model comes out sub $400 this older model might tank in price. Supply and demand will dictate based on that information. As for big stores, I don't see you having much luck. Most did firesales and liquidated their stock already to mitigate the price risk. I can tell you that this is my first fixed lens for general photography. It hasnt even arrived yet, but when it does I plan to test it out. If its not to my liking I can resell it to you at the price I purchased + the tax I paid + shipping. I would generally just return it but that lowers your chance of it ending up in your hands. If this was a recent post just come back to me and I can show you proof that it hasn't even arrived yet :). Take care!

hi Holly, honestly this camera was buyed by my mother in law, i highly recomended her to buy another brand, lumix by the way. What i think about nikon is that is a very triky brand, too complicated sometimes, mostly for amateur users (like me), so in that matter, i´m agree on somethings Joseph said about it.finally, to answer your question, in general is not a bad camera but i rather another brand, thats personal, but if i buy any kind and it comes with any issue, i definitly wouldn´t buy it again, even of the same brand

I recently had a very long talk with a rep from Nikon. He said that there is no new replacement for the D80 yet in the pipeline. Can not verify that this is the truth, but he usually is honest about this sort of thing.
