Product Reviews

Great Pictures, Great Price!

I honestly don’t know how any other review could give this camera 1 star. Sure, it isn’t the best camera, but it’s a CHEAP camera! I bought this camera so I could review it on my youtube channel. At first, I was skeptical, and I didn’t expect much. After taking a few shots, I was afraid I had made a bad choice. However, I know that cameras aren’t that simple, so I decided to try a few different options. After playing around with the camera a little bit, I was able to get some amazing shots!This is not a bad camera! It is an amazing camera for this price! I disagree that the average smartphone camera is any better than this camera. Even though some of the newer smartphones may be able to compete, this camera is still amazing! You can take great pictures if you know what you are doing! Even if you don’t know what you are doing, once you get used to the camera, your pictures will look beautiful!I will try to upload some of my photos in a few minutes.

Disappointing - My phone takes better pics

Shutter release is very slow, camera is not what I expected. I still can’t get the bluetooth feature to work which is what I originally bought it for. The ultra small, slim size makes it hard to hold on to.

Pure Junk

Bought camera May 5, 2017. Had to buy new battery Sept 2017 and camera died at granddaughters wedding Oct 7, 2017. We didn’t get any pictures of the wedding. What a disappointment,

I really like both of them so decided to keep it

I ordered it because I thought I lost my last Coolpix but after it arrived I found the first one. I really like both of them so decided to keep it.

Three Stars

Perhaps I don’t have the hang of it yet.

Five Stars

Handy camera that take great photos. The added feature of transferring to mobile device is outstanding!

Good Purchase

This camera does everything I need. A small second camera that has good features and is easy to carry is great for my travels. Being familiar with Nikon COOLPIX controls was a plus.

WiFi will nor work on certain i phones

If you have an I phone Like I do (IOS 10.3.2) WiFi feature will not work. I just got of the phone with Nikon. They are only up to 10.2 with their firm ware updates. So just beware. Nikon Rep was not very pleasant about it either. The WiFi feature is the reason I bought the phone :-(

does not allow you to turn on/off the flash manually.

Camera is fine. This model is fully automatic though and does not allow you to turn on/off the flash manually.

Not happy

It acts and feels like a poorly refurbished product. Very unhappy! When I attempt to navigate the menu using the buttons- when I try and go up, it will respond by going down 50%…
