Great travel camera

I bought this camera because my husband and I were taking a trip to the Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan and I needed a camera that could take better pictures than my phone picks up phone, and will also have a great zoom. After spending hours on the internet reading reviews I decided on this camera and I'm SO glad I did. My main criteria were a camera with high image quality, large zoom and ease of use. The camera is easy to use, requires minimal setup (which you can connect to your phone and do all the settings in the app on your phone) and takes great pictures. Before leaving, I tested the camera with different modes and played around with the zoom, and during our trip we got some phenomenal shots (it helps make the site one of the most beautiful places in the US). I took about 200 shots and the battery still says full with only two shots coming out blurry (both of which the deer moved at the last second). The zoom is incredible too. I enlarged the picture of the sailboat quite a bit and it turned out beautifully.

Pros
  • Nikkor f/3.0 6.5mm ED lens
Cons
  • Minority
