If you are looking for a camera to take macro photos, look no further. This camera was designed for doing just that. You can focus on a macro subject throughout the optical zoom range. Try doing that on any other compact camera! If you think 4.0 megapixels isn't enough - remember that this was a top quality Nikon. I have printed posters from this camera up to 4ft by 3ft and they are as sharp as you could ever need. Obviously for a camera that's 8 years old you should not expect it to compete in all areas with a modern camera, but if you are into coins or stamps (or any other small stuff), this is still the best there is. In case you think I am exaggerating, I also own a Canon 7D with the latest 100mm IS macro lens, and I still get better results from the Nikon! The negative aspects are: The small screen; Poor focussing in low light; Battery capacity; The size (if you carry it about). Other than that, it does everything that you need. One thing to look out for in a camera of this age is dead pixels. This one has 2, which is OK, but just check with the seller before bidding too high. You would only notice them on long time exposures on dark subjects. I paid around £100 for mine on a 'buy it now' offer. I had previously bid on many lots but always missed them by a small amount. I think they are still good value up to say £125 - depending on the accessories that are included. Hope this helps sellers as well as buyers.Read full review
Before its time still good today for very close up work, which is what I wanted it for as a spare. Have had one for 20 years.
