Price Paid:
$420.00
from Henry's Summary: GREAT camera, period. Bought it for a companion to our Nikon SLR (which we use for more "serious"/proffesional photography)- for fun, snapshots around the house, office needs, and discreet size.
Camera far surpassed expectations. Very user friendly, many, functional, usefull scene modes. Excellent macro, good zoom (for size), and very, very discreet, fits in pocket, and if you shut of the volume and "welcome" sound it is silent- and the batteries last longer! Strengths: Excellent picture quality. Compact, discreet (with swivel can shoot from hip, eye level, sideways, backwards, whatever...). Functional. Nice Style. Charger/docking station included.
If you can still find one, should be super cheap now- and you shoudl get it. Weaknesses: Battery life; spec's are honest and only give it an hour- under normal use eth battery will give you about 8 to 12 hours though. Need second battery if you are travelling though- and carefull eth made in China ones do not last as long as the made in Japan one that came with the camera- maybe 4 to 8 hours at best, brand new!
After a year the door and clip for the battery broke. Similar Products Used: Fuji Fine Pix, Canon and Sony (can't recall models). Customer Service: Excellent, but I wonder if Henry's had more to do with this than Nikon. Kind of iritating that they did fix the problems (and replaced our LCD screen which was probably not warranty related), but noted on the reciept that Henry's covered it as a customer courtesy- not sure if Nikon actually didn't cover it,or Henry's is trying to make themselves look good.
