I picked this little Nikon up a few weeks ago. I needed a new Point and Shoot because sometimes I need to have a camera with me, but I dont feel like taking my SLRs with me. The one thing I really, REALLY love about this camera is it’s size. Its teeny, tiny. Its also very inexpensive, Ive seen them for just over $100. On the other hand I am not super impressed with the images it takes. This was taken of me by some stranger on Wall Street last Monday. See what I mean?
Anyway, the Stock Markets will come back, so everyone just chill- Everything is going to be ok. 
terribly out of focus
Ok… wait a minute… What in the world are doing buying a Nikon P&S???? That is like sacrilege for a Canon user! I knew Ashton Kutcher would get in your head!
I’m trying to remain objective about the image quality since you always put up beautiful images, it’s hard to compare from a point and shoot. That and I work for Canon so knowing a die-hard Canon user like you bought a Nikon makes me a bit sad. 😉
I have to agree with Alex. Nikons make me feel dirty. I have been a diehard
Canon user for close to twenty years. Mike, this hurts my heart.
Sure the camera plays a part in the photo. Its more about the one behind the camera that makes the photo.
ya…its hit and miss….I can get it to co-operate about half the time. I wanted a camera I could hand to anyone that would take great pics, this isnt the one.
Well, you know as they say, "Make every shot, a PowerShot"! Ok, ok, I’m done.
Not to mention the fact that it’s kind of like driving a Kia after you’ve been in a Ferrari….no comparison! But hey, the image reminds me of my old Canon SureShot. LOL 🙂
Do we all need to pitch in and get you a G9? At least you would feel a bit more comfortable with some options!
We love our canon SD850is. We have found that when you have someone else take a picture, they move as they press the button. The kids and pets setting on the camera has a quick shutter speed and we get fewer blurry pics from friendly passersby.
I had a Kodak point and shoot, don’t remember the model number, but EVERY shot was a good shot except for extremely close up pictures…it broke, still mad about that. Ha, I know right where you are in that picture, I remember being there…and yeah, the stocks will come back up…they always do.
here is the deal…I need a point and shoot that is very, VERY small. Something smaller than a cell phone, this way I can have a camera with me ALL the time. It needs to be REALLY amazing. I have some older Canon Elphs, they are just a little too big and a little old. Ill keep my eyes peeled, if you have a suggestion, I will try it out and post a review.
The Samsung NV24HD is a small high quality P&S with HD recording capabilities @ 30 fps.
i have this camera. i like it for it’s basic purpose, documenting my family’s day to day antics. short of buying something sooper fantastical, what is the #1 thing that i can do with this camera to make my shots better?
use another camera? 🙂 Im having a hard time with it to….Im looking into some other models.
