Hi CL,

Well, to be completely honest with you...  there are two brands of consumer cameras that stand out and hold the reputation of being "the best".   One is the Canon brand and the other is the NIKON!!!   So you absolutely have, not just a good camera, but one of the Best :))

Feel good about your purchase.  As long as you take care of your camera and keep it safe from falling or dropping in the water...  it will be excellent for you.   Nikon has a very good warranty on manufacturer defects, so if there were anything wrong with it....  Nikon would take care of the issue.  

Hope that helps AND

Thanks for reading.  :))

Answer 6

yup, they are good, altho it depends on the model of course, read some reviews and make up your own mind

Answer 7

You'll get people from the Canon side claiming that THEIR cameras are better, but with a Nikon, you're getting some good GLASS, when you're buying a Canon, however, you can get some plastic.

Those people who are giving me grief over my comment are upset that they didn't answer this question before I did!  *laughter*  Your cam is a fine one.

The MOST important issue when it comes to photography is what lies BEHIND the camera more than the camera itself!  Some people can use a pin-hole camera and get better shots than others with the most advanced modern cameras.

Answer 8

Wow, what a coincidence!  I just picked the same up (the red one) at walmart this morning!

I had an Olympus. But got sick of the problems I kept having.  

I have two friends who have this camera and they love it.  It is inexpensive but with cool features. It's not to small. Just right to take along in your pocket or purse.  

Answer 9

Nikon is great...  As for the stupid first comment about Canon users squacking smack about Nikon, grow up.  Canons and Nikons both rock and offer fantastic options in varying levels to all levels of consumers that will last them for eons.  It doesn't have to be one or the other.  

Again, Nikon is super.  I bet you made a great purchase. :)
