"Excellent camera, Great image quality, Almost Perfect"
Pros: 10.1MP, 18x Zoom, Amazing Image quality, Large LCD, Manual A,S,P,M Modes for SLR control, Nice ISO range, great in low light, great on camera editing features like d-lighting, small, built well, SDHC
Cons: Doesn't shoot in RAW(only con for some), a little too big to fit in pockets, flash isnt amazing at times, only take 13fps at 3mp not 10mp, not really cons, just wish had a little more
Summary: I own a Nikon d40x, and D300 and this is an amazing back up camera. It takes as great shots as my d40x does, sometimes haha. I would recommend this to anyone just starting out, if you it's your first camera or as a backup, you will not be disappointed at all. It takes amazingly clear shots and at 10MP you can blow up your shots poster size...it has a great video function, manual modes for up to 8" long exposures. The LCD is bright, clear and accurate. The long lens range and 18x zoom along with macro function lets you get some great shots you would not be able to with any other coolpix or canon SD series camera. This is an excellent camera, the only thing I wish it had was RAW, I love shooting in RAW, but that's just me. This would be a 10\10 if it had RAW and if you could expose for more than 8 seconds, but hey for 400$ its practically as nice as an 800$ d40x!!!! Buy this camera, you will not be let down.

Hi....I am a bird watcher and am looking for a camera to take close ups of birds on my outings. Would this camera be a good option for that? How is the stabilization in zoom mode? Thanks for your help!
