"Great camera for the price"
Pros: Outstanding pictures, great battery life, nice LCD screen
Cons: Slow - long time between pics and for flash pics
Summary: Even though cameras may have similar specifications, they are not all created equal. I was looking for a second camera for quick, good quality shots, so I spent about two hours at a BestBuy, testing every digital camera under $200. This camera was, by far, the best camera for the price range.
My main criteria was the quality of pictures. This camera took the best pictures under almost every condition. I tested various cameras in the 5-6 megapixel class, with similar specs, but the Nikon simply took the best pictures.
I was not looking for a zillion features, or the smallest/lightest camera, but I did expect a reasonable amount of features and a compact size. This camera didn't have as many options as some of the other cameras, but it was very easy to use and had everything I needed. It wasn't the smallest or lightest, but it did fit nicely in my hand, and was not a burden in my pocket.
Once I bought it and started using it, I was very pleasantly surprised at the long batery life from the included AA bateries. I was even more pleased by the pictures taken under all sorts of lighting conditions.
In summary, if you want the best quality pictures for under $200, this is the camera for you. Picture quality is this camera's claim to fame. If you rather have a bunch of features, then look elsewhere. If you want a tiny, feather-light camera then this is not the one for you. The Nikon will reward you with great snap shots, and the best batery life I've ever seen on a camera.
