I bought 3 of these (2 as X mas presents and 1 as a birthday present). If I had only known how they were made I never would have bought one. The lens is a piece of junk and just stops working for no apparent reason. Two of the three had this problem. I sent both of the cameras off under warranty. What a hassle, Nikon sucks!!!
They honored one under warranty and six weeks later they returned that camera. The other one they demanded the receipt and we could not find it. They want $ 108 to fix THEIR defect on a camera that retails at $ 145. The camera has been at Nikon repair for months now, I don’t think it will ever leave that place. They refuse to stand behind their product, I refuse to ever have anything to do with them.
The camera that did come back lasted less than one week. My daughter took it with her on a class trip and put it in her backpack. When she went to get the camera out of the backpack the touch screen was cracked. The weight of other backpacks cracked that. No use sending that into their warranty department… they will never honor that.
The third camera was dropped by my son while running on the driveway and is horribly scratched, ironically despite the cosmetic scratches that is the only one that has work perfectly.
So, a lens that is defective, a touch screen that cannot stand normal wear and tear, built by a company that fails to stand behind their product. Don’t waste your money.

Creo que como otro cliente dice, hay que leer el manual para poder realmente entender como se usa esta máquina. De todos modos configurandola en modo automático las fotos son fantásticas. No es una máquina profesional, pero por ello nadie puede decir que sea mala, como he visto en otros comentarios. Muy recomendable, facil de usar, precio, justo para lo que es. La pantalla táctil es de lo mejor que vi, y las fotos son coloridas, brillantes, con mucha vida. No hagan caso a los quejosos de siempre.

It is not that thin as i imagine. but it is still good, very easy to use, plus a good prize.

the novelty of the touch screen is great but the intricacies of the camera are still an exploration for me…
