It takes good pictures, it's very light, versatil, i like the color, and it is easy to use.  I do recommend the product.

I could take wonderful crisp clear pics with the camera straight out of the box. The landscape and outdoor pics are really good. Not so good indoor pics though maybe I need to tweak the settings a bit, then again it's only $166. The batteries don't last long at all though and I don't like that I can't charge the camera. Generally speaking, an awesome camera for the price.!

For the price its a good camera. Thats this or the RX-10 from Sony anyway.
Here's why I took the FZ1000 instead:

Pros
- fast and accurate auto focus. if you're recording or taking pictures of fast moving objects in the background, that's a must. I just did that at an airshow and that saved many shots.
- 400mm. Twice the 200mm. It works well with the OIS even at maximum range. I could track jets going by in video mode without any additional equipment at 400mm all the time.
- simple menus/interface. Compared to my RX100 using this was a breeze and i didn't need any time to get used to the settings... I don't know why sony's aren't as easy..
- Picture quality is very good. Its not as good as the full frame DSLRs in low light, and even in bright light but its so close it doesn't matter much as long as you're happy with the builtin lens.
- the integrated mic is actually pretty good too for.. an integrated mic
- sdcard/battery door actually has a separate lock for the battery so you can switch sdcard without issue unlike what i read in reviews.
- light. much lighter than the DSLRs.
- fast startup

Cons
- need a good sd card for 4k ;)
- the zoom in/out is a little slow. sometimes i wish it was a lot faster.
- OIS and zoom are noisy, you can hear them on videos ;) No problem on picture, no "big deal" on videos tho.. you want external audio for high quality audio anyway.
- tripod mount placement blocks the battery/sdcard door, wtf where you thinking panasonic :)

Great camera for the price.  Pictures are clear.  It easy to use.  I was able to get great shots of waves and my grandson swimming in the waves.  My only problem was downloading the manual.

Its a great camera for the price. I will 4 stars only for the reason that the battery does not last very long. Not a problem but could had been a bit better!

This is a great camera for the price. You get plenty of options, manual control of aperture and shutter speed, and pictures of great quality. I've gotten equally good results taking pictures of close-up flowers, animals, and people. Here are some of my flower pictures [...] if you're interested. Keep in mind that I am an amateur, this was my first day with the camera, and I was exploring many of the options so these aren't perfect examples of the camera's capabilities.

 I personally disagree with the previous reviewer that it can't take good indoor pictures.  I am pleased with my pictures indoors of people. I would, however, agree that the flash load time is annoying, and sometimes the camera seems to take a while to focus properly.  I would recommend at least looking through the manual, as it helped me immensely.

Overall, though, it's a great camera for the price.

I have had this camera for about 9 months now, and have almost no complaints.  It takes clear photos, is easy to use, and the zoom is lovely.  The only downside that I have noticed is that in some light conditions it can be hard to see what you're taking a photo of in the view screen.  Otherwise - a good camera for an affordable price.

Great camera for the price. The updates for the camera should be a bit easier for user's to download and update via wifi. Other than that I think it is an overall great camera.

Great camera for the price. The issue I have with it is that it doesn't use a lithium battery. A camera of this quality goes through batteries so quickly and even rechargeable ones are a pain to keep switching. Great camera, though.

It's a good camera for it's price. Small, easy to install and works as expected. The image quality isn't the best. Keep the power cord and memory card handy!

This is a great camera at a great price.  Simple to use and takes great videos and pretty good pictures too.

I've had this camera for only a couple of weeks, but so far I am happy with it. Pictures come out nice when the lighting is good, but only so-so when relying upon the flash. Also, the camera is kind of thick (because of the 6x zoom) and doesn't feel heavy for it's size. My 5MP Konica feels much more solid. Overall for the price though I recommend it.

Really like this camera.  Was worried it might be too clunky, but quickly got used to it, and it's actually easier to steady and handle.  Picture quality is not the best when using full zoom, but pretty good considering what I paid for this.  The best feature is the ability to use a viewfinder which most times is missing in the small compact point and shoot.

Great camera for the price. Takes great pictures and has many functions that are usually only on higher priced cameras.

I bought this camera brand new and after about 15 pictures (couple of months old), it broke. The lense would never come back out and the camera kept automatically shutting off. I returned it for repair work. Shortly thereafter, I was sent a brand new camera. So far so good. Good camera for the price. Easy to use and takes good pictures for the price.

Great camera for the price. The install was relatively easy for my first time. The picture looks clear and accurate. The only thing that would make it better is if the depth lines were a little more accurate, they seem a little off compared to some of the stock cameras I've seen. But for it being aftermarket, you can't beat it for the price.

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.
