I love this Cam!!
I've recently upgraded from a previous version of Coolpix to this one and I love it with all of it's features

Wow... is all I can say!
I just upgraded from another pocket sized camera and this Nikon Coolpix is so amazing! Love the touch screen, the upclose pics I've taken are completely in focus, the recovery time between pics is WAY FAST, the cool purple color is my favorite, and I can't wait to go shoot some HD video!
Totally the gold standard of pocket-sized cameras!

Good Choice for a Camera
Takes very clear detailed photos. I enjoy the touchscreen features as well. Camera in purple is very pretty and elegant for a lady. The product is very light and easy to carry. Doesn't freeze up. The time delay for pictures is really fast and accurate. I absolutely love this camera and would recommend it to anyone. Also has the video camera feature, which is awesome. It is a great camera to have handy especially when you want to take good pictures of your children and pets. A++ Review from me!

There is an option for "soft" but the changes are not skin softening. My other 2 Nikon Coolpix cameras say "skin softening."

There is a tab(a star) in playback mode that shows images with a certain rating(0-5 stars). I cannot find any information on how to rate an image though. Is it related somehow to the favorites album?

If you have tried other cards and still get the same message then it would mean that you are unable to use HC cards in the camera, page 97 of your manual has a guide to approved cards.

I had the same problem. Try changing the settings for the "scene" that did help me. Kind of a pain, I know. I also adjusted the lighting on the right, the slider bar. I then kept the setting on the basic scene that self adjusts. This camera is not that good for darker areas or inside performances.Jun 3, 2011 by

I purchased the camera in April. I took it to NYC last week, took many pics and the battery went dead. I did not have my charger with me, so I charged it last night. The green light was flashing when I hooked the camera up to the AC adapter. After a couple of hours, I tried to turn on the camera and nothing happened.

Problem deleting Images after downloading to Windows Vista Photo
After downloading succesfully to my Vista OS laptop using Windows Photo software, the images cannot be deleted. I have the 'erase images' ticked but unfortnately after a few seconds and the 1st, 2nd? images are deleted the software seems to stall and never gets to deleted the images 3 onwards. This means I have to cancel the delete, disconnect the camera and delete them on the camera. Is this a driver problem? Can you send me the correct driver?

Why will it not take a picture when I hold down the button to do so?
Whenever I hold down the button to take a photo, the camera doesn't seem to respond or take the photo. It seems to sit there. It doesn't freeze. No flash comes on. I don't know if I have an incorrect setting on/off but it is very frustrating. The camera also seems to be acting slow when I want to go back and see what photos I've already taken.
