"Sub par pictures, bad touch screen interface." on by staryan
Pros: The camera looks awesome and being able to write on the screen is kind of neat.
Cons: LCD is low quality, touch screen has slow response and pictures do not really appear crisp even when you put it on the computer.
Summary: I thought this camera was very cool looking but looks can be deceiving it has a slow touch screen and all the cool things about the camera do not work as great as you see on the commercial. when you try and slide pictures with your finger the camera thinks you are trying to zoom in. when you turn the camera to get a different view of the picture it sometimes freezes in that posistion. The LCD screen has low resoultion so your pics do not look that great after you take them. I took my camera back after using it for one weekend.

"A product unworthy of its fun marketing campaign." on by sfenster78
Pros: Big LCD screen
Cons: All controls, with the exception of the on/off and shoot buttons are on the touch screen. Its a cool concept except the touch screen is not very efficient. I have a lot of patience but this made me crazy.
Summary: Don't buy this if you want this for social events and may at some time want other people to use it to take pictures for you. Its a foreign creature and is not very user friendly at all.

"Touch screen is easy to use. Takes great pictures." on by TessMarie
Pros: The 3.5 inch screen provides a good view. Icons are easy to see and use. You can use it as a point and shoot on auto, but you can also control the settings. The 5X zoom brings the subject close and in good focus. Nice for carrying in a pocket.
Cons: Battery doesn't last very long, so I purchased a second one as a backup.
Summary: This camera is really fun to use. I find using the included stylus works better than using my finger and I have mine on the camera cord which keeps it handy. Reading the manual really helps to learn all of the camera's functions and I have expermented using all the settings and comparing the results. I'm pleased with the quality of the pictures as well as the movie feature. I have an 8GB card so I have plenty of space to record. This may not be a good choice for an experienced photographer, but for someone just wanting a fun easy camera that takes great pictures, then I would highly recommend this one.

"Waste of $$$$$$$." on by dypchan
Pros: Fortunately, Forgot that I had the camera. I guess the camera was so bad that I just threw it aside. I guess I'll give it to my 7 year old daughter to play with.
Cons: The LCD is not clear. The interface is so slow. Very grainy. Totally not worth the money and I am surprise Nikon manufacture it piece of junk

"LOVED THIS CAMERA... until it broke" on by lsnider92
Pros: So stylish, Good pictures, easy to operate, ability to draw on screen
Cons: one drop and done
Summary: I had this camera for over a year and I loved it. I drop it and it breaks. I figured that breaking after over a year of normal usage was pretty durable and I really loved the camera so I bought another one. The week that I bought the new one I drop it from maybe three feet and its DONE! So upset! just wasted $200 more bucks. Perfect camera if your not going to drop it.
