What's great about it: Its screen is big, it takes excellent pictures, is small and very portable, it's heavy-duty, it has many great feautures
What's not so great: It can be slow, it can be confusing, it doesn't show you the battery power

"The first thing I thought when I opened my Nikon Coolpix 10.0 was, "This is so small! I'll break it in a few days, surely." Boy, was I wrong! This camera can be dropped and you wouldn't even be able to tell. It's a tough, little thing. When I uploaded my pictures to the computer I was in amazement. "This thing isn't even a professional camera! Look at these pictures!" It was so easy to take with me everywhere I went! It took me a couple days to completely figure out all of the incredible features, but when I did, I used them nonstop. They're great! I think I've expressed me view of this wonderful camera enough, and don't let the price stop you from buying this camera! You'd be shocked how much it's worth the money."

What's great about it: good quality pictures
What's not so great: features dont always work and the camera is slow

"Although the camer has some good qualities they dont always work. for example the blink detection NEVER worked even though i blinked purposfully to try it out. also, the smile recognition would take a long time to set up and after that it didnt always recognize when the object was smiling. the menus are confusing because there are different menus for each shooting mode, which makes things difficult to find. its also hard because the camera takes a while to process your request and is often behind when i push buttons. The battery indicator doesnt go off until the camera is dying. the picture quality is amazing but its not worth the money with all the other problems."

What's great about it: Small, easy to use.
What's not so great: Bad picture quality, bad display quality

"Isn't the point of buying a 10 mega pixel camera is to expect really great image quality? Wrong, not with this camera if you don't want pixelated pictures and a pixelated display, steer away ."

What's great about it: Great Pics, big screen, fun features
What's not so great: navigation can be confusing

"I noticed a few things that people have said that I would like to clear up. I think these people may have not read the manual. There is a battery indicator but it only comes on when the battery is getting low or is really low, it is not on all the time. Also, you can view pictures without turning it on by holding down the play button, the person that said that must have been to impatient. Overall this is a great camera with excellent picture quality. The only downfall is the navigation menus are a little confusing but they will get easier over time, I just need to get used to it. I found it on sale and grabbed it right away so the price wasn't terrible. Hope this helps!!!"

What's great about it: very easy to use and set up, great value for a 10 megapixel camera, smile shutter
What's not so great: specific rechargeable battery extra (if you want) is expensive

"This is the best camera I have ever owned. The pictures are extremely clear, and I love the sleek design and the fact that I can fit it right in my pocket. In fact, I liked this product so much that I bought 4 of them!!!! I am giving them as gifts to my family. Its so easy to use!! I might even buy more! Overall, this is a GREAT GREAT WONDERFUL camera!"

What's great about it: Good price for a 10MP point and shoot.
What's not so great: Macro is poor.

"I have been happy with this camera. It starts up fast and has long battery life. But, if you are going to take images with Macro, you may want to look elsewhere. This camera does not have a manual focus and when macro is used the camera can't focus on objects closer than probably 8 inches."
