Completely standard product, nothing remarkable.

I own several Nikon cameras, so this one is not my first. It's safe to say that the camera's impact was divisive. Cheap horse that needs continual attention and management. Unfortunately, I do not think Nikon's proprietary matrix was a huge success. It took me about six months to adjust to it before I could handle it. Unfortunately, this is not a beginner-friendly camera.
While it does a decent job, and has become better over the years, at capturing landscapes and travel experiences, the quality of its portrait shots remains disappointingly low.
Hence, I will not declare that I am sorry I bought this camera. No. Yet, "what do you want for the money," as the saying goes. You are always aware of its flaws and yearn for improvement. Perhaps not on Nikon

Pros

The ergonomics are top-notch. The level of noise is minimal. An excellent video recorder with a built-in microphone Nikon, as usual, packs a ton of useful features into its basic body design.

Cons

You can't use auto since it automatically and dishonestly boosts the ISO. Use the "kid" mode instead of "auto," as it has the correct settings. White balance in editors never seems to fix the fact that Skinton is always too yellow and has too many carrots. If the photo can be salvaged in post-production despite the video's subpar halftone transmission, then the situation is hopeless. Reduced optical resolution, subpar construction, and loose buttons are just some of the issues.
