camera. It is a great deal for a camera with such a sharp image quality! I would say this camera may night be the best choice for people who want to take a ton of night-time action images though, so keep that in mind. Also, I am not too fond of the battery situation. I wish there was some sort of recharging dock for this camera so i didn't have to recharge the batteries every time I use it.

This is an excellent, high quality, camera for a low price., March 23, 2006
Reviewer: S. Wells

I purchased this camera to photograph my artwork. It takes excellent, high quality, pictures. I'm still working on the close up aspect but have only touched the surface of what it can do. You can use it to just snap and shoot, as it isn't complicated.

Good Job Nikon, March 10, 2006
Reviewer: Tarun K. Gangadhar

i think this is a good camara for that price. 7 mega pixel for under 250 is a good deal. more over it has got good features like the red eye reduction ,image enhancement, macro mode. easy to operate. i took approximately 80 to 90 pics using AA batteries with the display off. i mean the pictures are very crisp. i am happy with it.

great for the money, March 2, 2006
Reviewer: Stacey M Smith
This is my first digital camera. I am realatively pleased. The features to price ratio is great. In fact, Amazon's price beat most all competors, if you're shopping. I will agree with a previous reviewer, this is not a great one for action shots.. the delay throws me off. Or maybe there is a setting for action that I haven't gotten to; I'm certainly still learning. I've had pretty good luck with the photos that I've taken: mostly just macro-stills for website stuff. I can see that a larger screen might be more desirable. All in all, I wouldn't choose anything else.

 Excellent, March 7, 2006
Reviewer: Anselm
Well I have read many of the reviews on this camera and I find some of the negative reviews are misleading. I bought this camera about 3 months ago and I have no problem so far. The only problem I had was that it drained the batteries quickly but it was my fault not the camera's. I bought a Sony recharger recently and I took about 450 pics with flash before the batteries ran out. So I wonder how can people say that this camera eats up batteries. Check the recharger.

About the picture quality, no complaints at all. Macro mode also works very well. You need to know the technicalities of the camera before you use it. I think problem of moving subjects can be rectified by half pressing the shutter release butten to start focussing and then take the pic. Or use Continuous mode so that many pics will be taken. That is of course without flash. camera takes a second or less to focus which will miss some moving object or cause shake. If you shake the camera pics will be blurred in any digital camera. I will recommend this camera to anyone.

Small, yes....light, yes....otherwise.....bad, February 19, 2006
Reviewer: J. Grady

I purchased this camera back in December. I am a professional photographer and was looking for a camera that I could carry all the time. This camera is small and light and easy to use, yes. But, the camera is so very slow and the focus is very touchy. By time the camera gets ready to shoot, you shot is gone. Forget the action shots, impossible. I am now looking to purchase the Sony cybershot and sell this one on Ebay.

Nice camera for the price, February 17, 2006
Reviewer: M. Shope

I already had a nikon coolpix 2500 that has been great and wanted to upgrade to a camera for several reasons - 1) more megapixels and 2)use of (2) AA batteries in lieu of a proprietary battery (the batteries for the coolpix 2500 are shot and I dont feel like shelling out $ for new ones). I got the coolpix 7600 last month and I like it so far, esp for the price (just over $200). The camera can use various formats of AA batteries, including rechargable Ni-MH batteries. My only beef with the camera so far is that there is a slight lag time between photos when you are using the flash - I assume this is because it uses AA batteries and it is recharging the flash. At any rate aside from this it's a nice little compact and light camera - has many nice features and because of the low price I am not afraid to take it with me when travelling.

never again a Nikon, February 1, 2006
Reviewer: Angel
Tried this camera because of the positive reviews at the time. It is an OK camera for carrying around, due to its' small size, and takes decent landscape pictures. However, its' macro ability is non-existent. That is one of the main reasons I buy a camera. My favorite cameras for that feature are Olympus, and I am about to buy a new one. I gave the Nikon 2 stars because it is compact and I carry it with me every day so I can leave my more valued cameras safe at home.
