It is targeted at a consumer who is looking at more control on the camera than a basic point-and-shoot, without the bulk associated with a DSLR. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Build/ Design</span></strong><br /><br /><strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bright f/1.8, 5x zoom with wide-angle 24 mm* coverage and advanced lens-shift VR</span></em></strong><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">This compact camera is an f/1.8 NIKKOR lens which incorporates specially crafted High-refractive-index glass to achieve superb image sharpness and contrast. It also features lens-shift VR (Vibration Reduction), which compensates for camera shake by offering the equivalent of a faster shutter speed. The large aperture of f/1.8 is excellent for shooting indoors and in low light while a 7-blade iris diaphragm can render images with natural, beautiful bokeh (background blur).</div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><strong> 35mm format equivalent</strong></li></ul><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixEJmKdNlRh1qOZgQYdfK6UI7Gqgs-s1EywmQICmT6jA9Ju_-UD1EengXtSb2Or4qoPzID9vpscTVQZZgMiWXxVG_ac-03WA3og8yRvUzNeWfVku_eJDpCoxRLUqTIrYP4Fq_hpC3IkwI/s1600/nikon2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixEJmKdNlRh1qOZgQYdfK6UI7Gqgs-s1EywmQICmT6jA9Ju_-UD1EengXtSb2Or4qoPzID9vpscTVQZZgMiWXxVG_ac-03WA3og8yRvUzNeWfVku_eJDpCoxRLUqTIrYP4Fq_hpC3IkwI/s1600/nikon2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><br /><br />The buttons are easily accessible for single-handed shooting, with your thumb being able to control both the mode dial as well as the shutter speed dial in case you are shooting on the manual. From an ergonomics standpoint, the front of the camera is flat, but a raised bump of rubber ensures that your grip is tight and the camera stays firm in your hand.<br /><br /><strong> <span style="font-size: large;">Performance</span></strong>  <br /><div></div><strong><em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Plenty of settings to capture just what you're shooting for</span></em></strong><br /><br /><div class="text-A01" style="text-align: justify;">A choice of options is at your command. Just dial P, S, A or M exposure mode, or "U" (User setting) mode to take exactly the picture you want. The front Function button and Command dial for fine control of settings are quick and simple to use. And Nikon's RAW (NRW) file format lets you edit your images freely without image quality degradation.</div><div class="text-A01"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1UQ9k070XMuPNC5YyVM1eOqB6C1b72NAg9qEf97YdgfdHqcFzsX2BDZisrVh5p94ybSom_aWGMT43sYA4NOQBH4iCDmaYmgA5DjeoLg-ZI3qyPZ8zQYGV2z7Ocr4KI3bWQwbNHd5eU9A/s1600/img_031.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1UQ9k070XMuPNC5YyVM1eOqB6C1b72NAg9qEf97YdgfdHqcFzsX2BDZisrVh5p94ybSom_aWGMT43sYA4NOQBH4iCDmaYmgA5DjeoLg-ZI3qyPZ8zQYGV2z7Ocr4KI3bWQwbNHd5eU9A/s320/img_031.png" width="320" yya="true" /></a></div><div class="text-A01"><br /></div><div class="text-A01" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi69iOlUYVAEQgYcTkr0j2IQkWK8HMtngQGOWk3CQlUiKRK2weyjsQVqQ37-fVtv39DbsUw3p0Bb-hCFpAcp9OnaJzLBS4qB_oL5kT1KVQYD9UXlIJr9J8iJU4SIYmLfHq7VBItAI_lIEQ/s1600/img3+p330.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; height: 251px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; width: 331px;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi69iOlUYVAEQgYcTkr0j2IQkWK8HMtngQGOWk3CQlUiKRK2weyjsQVqQ37-fVtv39DbsUw3p0Bb-hCFpAcp9OnaJzLBS4qB_oL5kT1KVQYD9UXlIJr9J8iJU4SIYmLfHq7VBItAI_lIEQ/s320/img3+p330.png" width="320" yya="true" /></a></div><div class="text-A01" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div class="text-A01" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div class="text-A01" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: justify;">Switching on the camera the first time around requires you to setup the time, date, the country you are in and the language. Quickly finishing this setup, you can go and setup the ISO Settings or leave them to the default Auto. There is a Function button on the front side of the camera, that you can allocate a function of your choice, such as to change the ISO, which is what I did. Setup your metering to either spot or centre weighted, and your focussing, and the camera is ready to go.  <br /><div></div><div>It is nice to see that Nikon offers RAW capabilities on the camera, and you can save the images in RAW and JPEG both. If you are shooting in JPEG mode (default) make sure you set the image quality to Fine Setting as by default it is set to Standard.</div><div class="text-A01" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div class="text-A01" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdFLZpKra7EPWiGbbEKiLZynA4AR2QGBr1viHKYkdKmDa5fRRKso9Gxq0hxnB-GRmpcF7xMWH_UgJzr6O6WvnGH4_cYYHC-JbM_i3mUWe5puhxVRZLma1tDQBeDL6SzbteS6exfD59tDo/s1600/nikon3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdFLZpKra7EPWiGbbEKiLZynA4AR2QGBr1viHKYkdKmDa5fRRKso9Gxq0hxnB-GRmpcF7xMWH_UgJzr6O6WvnGH4_cYYHC-JbM_i3mUWe5puhxVRZLma1tDQBeDL6SzbteS6exfD59tDo/s1600/nikon3.jpg" /></a></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="text-A01"><br /></div><div class="text-A01" style="text-align: justify;">The camera offered an f/1.8 aperture and I was shooting some scenes at the end of the day, it made more sense for me to use aperture mode, I setup the ISO to be around 400 and put the camera on a wide Shutter of f/1.8 and got some great pictures.  <br /><div></div><div></div><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Image quality</span></strong></div></div><h3 class="heading3-A01"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><em>Backside illumination 1/1.7-in.

From shots taken at a restaurant, to a public park at night, I never felt the need of popping up the flash, and the pictures still came out quite good. This means that you can carry it to a birthday party and manage to get some interesting pictures without flashing people in their eyes, or worrying about red eyes. Only in rare cases where it was pitch dark did I feel the need to use the flash.  <br /><div></div><div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><h3 class="heading3-A01" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">GPS makes it easy to recall where pictures were taken</span></h3><div class="text-A01" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Built-in GPS locates where pictures were taken, and log data can be stored for reference or displayed on your PC.

I shot a video of the family driving down to the holy city, and the camera picked up voices easily in the car, though it did have a bit of traffic noise, indicating that the camera has good reception. The video itself looked pretty sharp.</div><div class="text-A01" style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The autofocus takes a little bit of time to readjust when you zoom in or out, or say, move outdoors from indoors, but overall it performed decently for a home video shoot. In case you wish to take some movies at a birthday party or your kids' school event, the camera is unlikely to let you down.  <br /><div></div><div> <span style="font-size: large;">Other  features</span></div><ul class="list-A01"><li>7.5 cm/3-in., approx. 921k-dot LCD monitor </li><li>EXPEED C2 image-processing engine </li><li>Scene auto selector </li><li>Record pause function </li><li>ACTIVE mode for VR </li><li>COOLPIX Picture Control </li><li>WU-1a Wireless Mobile Adapter support </li><li>Manual focus available </li></ul><div class="text-C01">Notes: Full HD refers to this camera's ability to record movies in 1920 x 1080 format.
