A Dream Camera

I write this as sadly my second one of these has once again broke - lens error. *sigh* I've had this type of camera for two years. It does fit in your jeans pocket, small, and easily to take into any venue. Easy to carry when busy with your children while out as well. Takes AWESOME photos. I have friends with the more expensive big ones and the photos and videos are just as good if not better than theirs. Plus I never leave mine at home, whereas they have to decide if it's worth it to drag their big ones along. All the smaller models do not have nearly the ability of this camera. You can easily take pictures over heads of people, behind you, to the side, etc without any difficulty. The zoom is nothing but pure amazing.
The downside - it's not meant for sports. Through two of these, I've never been able to get a really good photo of a sports shot and with kids in sports - that's a must have now in my life.
It takes great shots in completely DARK. It's as if it's daylight out. Beautiful.
Another drawback, though, is in dim light - it's not that great.
I just wish Nikon would have kept making these and fixed the sports issue and the dim light issue. And, of course, the fact that there is always a lens error and it's not easily fixed - if at all.
I miss this camera more than anything. I cried when it broke - it went with me everywhere. Now, though, I believe it's time to get one of the big SLRs due to sports and such that my children are in. But this is one great camera.
