Very High Quality at a Very Low Cost

I purchased this camera as a second camera to take on vacation. My other camera is a very expensive Nikon and I wanted something my daughter could use and also a camera we could take underwater photos with. For underwater we used a DiCAPac WPH10 waterproof bag that worked flawlessly.

On this vacation we took about 3000 photographs with the Coolpix of which about 450 were underwater on three separate snorkeling occasions. Because of the quality of this camera, our underwater photographs came out very good.

Based on the overall ease of use, the capability of the camera, the variety of camera functions, the range of the zoom and the quality of the image sensor, it is my humble opinion that you are getting a whole lot of camera for the money.
The camera manual is easy to use despite the vast amount of information that it contains.

The camera manual is an instant download from the Nikon website support section and it contains a wealth of information for the beginner or amateur photographer. The manual has two basic sections; the first section is about basic shooting and playback and the second section is the reference section that has details about some of the camera functions and it is for those who want to delve deeper into the capabilities of the camera.

The manual will teach you how to use the flash properly, what the shooting modes are and how to use them, how to shoot different scenes like sports, or portraits, or different lighting conditions and so forth. This camera is capable of numerous functions like special effects, panoramic, motion picture, face detection, auto focus, vibration reduction, macro, and black and white photography to name a few.

The reason I write about the manual is that many who purchase this camera will not realize just what this camera is capable of doing for them from a photography standpoint.

What has happened with our newfound technology revolution is that a person with little or no photography background can get their hands on this camera (for less that two hundred dollars) and be capable, in no time, of taking photographs that--twenty five years ago--could only be done by someone with a professional photographic education and thousands of dollars worth of equipment. That is it in a nutshell. Amazing capability at your fingertips and all you have to do is spend a little time reading the manual.

We put lithium batteries and a 64gig SD card into this baby and we were off and running with over 6000 photographs to shoot without filling up the memory card!

Nikon recommends a download of View NX 2 to go with this camera as it is the perfectly compatible software for quick view and modification capability. I have used View NX 2 and I like it very much because it is very easy to learn and use.

This camera is perfect for the photographer who wants something simple to use--a camera that has the capability to allow just about anyone to create very high quality photographs without the need to master a sophisticated digital camera. This camera defies all the past price to performance ratios and sets new standards. It is hard to believe what you can produce within this camera for the extremely small amount of money that you spend buying it.

Extremely good quality BNC connectors, and Consolidated brand coax cable.  These connectors are so much better than the nickel/chrome-plated junk you get these days.  The connectors were actually machined, not cast, and properly deburred.  The center conductor was gold, and the dielectric is teflon. The plating appears to be silver.  It really took me back to the old days. I could have paid $4.00 for this cable. Instead, I paid about $20.00 and it was well worth it. I am connecting expensive test equipment, and I sure don't want to damage the BNC connectors.  These days, it really is hard to find nice quality low-loss BNC cables.  I'll be giving MPD a chance to make a few other cables I need - very impressed.

At less than $10, it's hard to beat this $25 cable.  The quality of materials and workmanship is comparable to higher end products without sacrificing on price.  I would highly recommend this product to anyone needing a nice quality cable.
