    Pros: The touch screen and all the settings makes this such a 'cool' camera.

    Cons: Terrible. Awful. Horrific. I've never got such a bad camera ever before. Even a 120+/- camera can be much better than this.

    Summary: For some reason this camera Never focuses. I tried all settings. And it simply does not focus. It looks OKAY on the screen but after importing it on the computer you will be terrified.

    So the result of that: All portraits of myself and family members after a 2 week long US trip. All photos are out of focus. The people are blurred. I am just disappointed that Nikon would produce such low quality camera. I tried all settings and none of them does anything better. In addition I do not want to be trying out 15 mode settings each time I have to take a photo.

    Also it is impossible to ask someone else to help you take a photo. The other person will always either touch somewhere on the screen and go frustrated, or their fingers will get in the camera lens. In addition, there is this function called 'touch focus' and obviously you have to touch somewhere to focus it. Due to that, from now on every time I take a photo I have to TOUCH the place of focus and then take the photo. The problem with this is I never seem to be able to touch the right spot because the touch screen isn't that good.

    Overall this camera looks really cool with that massive screen, but if you don't want to look like a total idiot and take loads of photos for everyone and realize all the photos are blurred and out of focus after one long trip, then don't get this camera.

    Do not get this camera. You will regret it.
