I've only got this camera with me for a few months and I'm loving it. This camera has 7.1mp, autofocus, face detection, anti shake, and ISO2000. There is a 2.5" LCD for you to look at. The colour reproduction of this Nikon isn't as good as a Sony. I own another Sony T30 digital camera. I love the stainless steel body which gives me a feeling of robustness.

The LCD isn't viewable under the direct sunlight which is a pity. The camera scores for its face detection technology. The lens actually moves around to scan for faces. The menu on this camera is easy to use as well. Anyone can just browse through the menu and find what they want instantly.

The placing of the power button is too close to the shutter button which people might turn it off by accident instead of taking a picture. The flash of the camera lack the slow-synchro flash which is found in the Sony T30. It can light up the background in the pictures which helps a lot.
