Some kind of defective product, I definitely won't buy it anymore.

A nice image camera for an undemanding user. Do not change the factory firmware to a later one that Nikon offers on their website! The device starts focusing much more slowly and slows down from time to time. Moreover, it hung up several times, as a result of which I lost information on the memory card. Before the firmware, none of this was. The funny thing is that when friends gave me their old Nikon L610, I was surprised to find that the L610 shoots an order of magnitude better in terms of sharpness and colors and blurry frames, even at night, many times less, despite the fact that the L610 is an inexpensive plastic "soap dish".

Pros

Nice appearance. Low noise in low light. High working ISO values.

Cons

Creepy whale lenses. 10 megapixels is very small for post-processing. Little zoom. Unacceptably strong geometric distortion at a wide angle. One can only dream of sharpness and detail. The colors are unnatural. Even when shooting in sepia - my Sony soapbox does it much better. You can, of course, take pictures in RAW and then do processing, but this is not mine, given that I take several hundred photos in one walk :)
