Customer Review: Can’t believe it is still for sale
I bought it in 2006 and have used it a lot and love it. But — it was being discontinued at that time and all of the remaining Nikon stock was bought by Ritz and put on sale for less than half of list. So I am skeptical that it is still being sold new and am surprised at the price. As far as some comments on the shutter lag — if the previous shot has finished saving and if you have pressed the shutter half way down to track and focus on your subject and allow the flash to pop open, when the moment is right and you press the shutter fully the lag is negligible. Otherwise if you depress the shutter in one go there will be an additional 1/2 to 1 second lag for auto focusing which can take longer in dim light plus the time for the flash to automatically pop open. If the previous picture hasn’t finished saving then it will take seconds before your next picture especially if you have a very large memory card. This is true with nearly all digital cameras. The very best feature is the swiveling LCD screen. It swivels closed for protection and swivels out for viewing and can be rotated up and down and even all the way around to the front. This means you can hold the camera above your head or down to the ground or even facing you and still see the screen.
Customer Review: super wide angle fixed lense SLR
Awsome wide angle camera that is serving my purposes just fine. I needed a wide angle camera because I did not want to have to change lenses all of the time. Also needed something that is light weight too because I have MS and can’t handle heavy cameras.
The pictures are better than film! I am very pleased with this camera. I have no idea why Nikon stopped production of such a fine camera but they need to bring it back as far as I’m concerned. The price is right and my experience with the seller was excellant! Shipping was super fast too. I highly reccomend the seller….pcmonde via Amazon.com
