Don't buy this camera! This was the first digital camera I bought (about 18 months ago). It takes OK pictures but they were never quite in focus (what most reviewers called "soft focus"). Then on a trip they started getting really out of focus when trying to focus at infinity. I noticed it got better when I tapped it, thus loose lens! Sent it in, 6 weeks later got it back "cleaned", not fixed. Sent it in again, sort of fixed, still not really sharp at infinity, worse than when I first got it. In a nutshell, customer service stinks. They would not replace the camera. The best thing that ever happened to it was I dropped it on the floor and killed it. Then I bought a Canon. What a difference! The problem with the Nikon was it does not focus in low light and instead of being smart, like focusing at 6-8ft like you were going to take a picture of someone in a room, it focuses at infinity or wherever it happens to be when it is trying to focus.Don't buy this camera!
