SOME OF THE SAMPLE CUSTOMER REVIEW FROM AMAZON :
1) Great value for the money - I purchased this camera from Target during the black friday sale. I was quite impressed being that I was coming off a typical point and shoot camera from Nikon. Coming from where I stand Ineed a camera that takes better still photos. im tired of the blurry shots I was getting from my old camera. It is true if you are taking pictures of something moving it will come out blurry...but there is a sports mode that takes clear shots of moving objects. Most camera's need alittle play time to get used to and reading the directions is helpful but straight out of the box this thing is self explainatory. I will give it 4 stars for the price I paid 99.99 and the fact that its a step up from my old and the zoom is unbelievable. And less the 5th star because the blurry thing. I'll have to remember to put it in that mode if the person or thing im shooting is moving. I did not want to spend 200 or more on a camera to get good shots for the holidays.

2) Hold on before you return it. . . . - I picked this up at Target on 12/24/11 ($99). I'm still shopping for a better (and more expensive) camera, but the 15X zoom on this caught my attention. I figured if the negative reviews were true I could still use it as a birding camera and just keep it in the car.
I took about 100 shots last night in and outdoors, and another 100 today (in and out, sunny). I'll admit I was ready to take it back after the first 50 because the auto settings produced too much blur. Then I read the ENTIRE manual and tried some settings other than the defaults. Based on my limited tests, here are some adjustments that will make you feel much better about the camera:
*ISO is manually adjustable all the way up to 6400. I'm getting decent low-light indoor shots at 800 without excessive noise.
*Use the "slow sync" flash mode. It illuminates with less glare in some situations but still provides enough light to freeze the action.
*There are TWO types of Vibration Reduction (VR). The normal mode works very well with the zoom at full extension and is the VR that's automatically set for most of the shooting modes. But there is a 'hybrid' VR setting that snaps the shutter twice (at ISOs of 200 and below) and compares the images. Processing time and saving is a bit longer but I was able to take indoor pictures (without flash) of my dogs moving around and get clear images.
*The "exposure compensation" control appears to adjust the shutter speed within a limited range depending on the initial shooting mode that's selected. If the flash is washing out your shots this control can damp that down some.
*Try to pre-focus on 'sports' shots by holding the shutter halfway down on the spot where you anticipate capturing the movement. Finish the shot when the subject is in the center of the frame. It's tricky but can yield some surprisingly good results.
Notes: The f/stop setting is controlled by the level of zoom magnification. (I haven't found a way to override that setting.) All of the settings are displayed on the LCD when you push the shutter button halfway down so it's pretty easy to keep track of what works best - I'm generally setting the ISO higher and exposure compensation lower than the defaults suggest. And, the performance of the zoom at full magnification with VR is really quite impressive.
Bottom line: This is a pretty decent camera and IMHO worth the price, if not more, for the Nikkor lens alone. You do need to spend a little time getting acquainted but the results are worth the effort.
