camera up against more expensive Nikon's but I have to say

im no pro photographer, but i did hours of research before buying and i made the right decission

cons:
horrible close ups, its nearly impossible to get a good close up that's not blurry, definitely not while using the zoom,and sometimes the auto flash unnecessarily goes off but you can turn it off. slow video light adjustment. cant figure out how to make it lower the sound when playing back video, its loud

pros:
i read a review that said no shutter adjustment doesn't but that's incorrect, it doesn't say a specific speed, you just need to go into settings and change the mode, on dark outdoor setting it will take a long time and produce a crisp low light picture, if you can keep it steady that long, on flash off and on bright outdoor setting i could get a blur free picture of a roller coaster going nearly 100mph. the video is great resolution and no background sound, you can hear loud and quiet noises clearly. in a video i could hear some guy talking about me and my friends that we never noticed until the video was watched on my laptop, i will post it on youtube with a link, along with some pictures for amazon
Durability: i got water on it and took it on many very bumpy fast roller coasters and its still great, i recommend a 12$ 2 year square trade accidental damage protection warranty.
i like the 3 inch screen
BY FAR, EASIEST TO USE CAMERA I EVER USED
AA batteries are good and bad, good for me because they are cheep and you can bring extras, battery life: got several minutes of HD video and about 100 pictures on 2 fresh alkaline store brand AAs and its still going, the batteries it comes with crap out at about 20 pics.
Colors are true life or pretty darn close
so many options for each different scenario. food option lets you change color contrast and you can go black and white, blueish, old timey orangish (i don't know the names off the top of my head) and you can change the MP if you want to conserve battery and card space.
haven't used the auto timer but it has one
5x zoom is good enough, cant come close to a macro lens or whatever those big thins are called

summery: over all fantastic, -1star for close ups and video light adjusting slower then my old 10MP cannonThis camera to me, is awesome! For the price and the quality, very, very happy. Super easy to use, I did not install the software on my computer, just hooked it up and downloaded the photos right into my picture folder. The 16 modes are fun to use, love the black and white mode. I also used the video on this camera and wow, takes beautiful videos, the sound is great to me, quality of video, clear and crisp. I am extremely happy I purchased this camera, I reviewed this camera up against more expensive Nikon's but I have to say, this little red beauty, works perfect. I did not buy this camera from amazon, since I pay cash for almost everything, I got this at Walmart but this is the exact camera I purchased there. Cannot say enough about how great this purchase was, I love Nikon's. I have used the brand before and I will only buy and use a Nikon camera, well worth the money.
