Great light weight camera.......2005-11-17

I bought this camera about 10 months back and am loving it since then. I bought this for my wife as I own a Sony DSC-V1 (another great one) and she wanted a light & small camera. I'm very pleased by the performance.

I have taken about 2500 great pictures in all modes even in dark using manual mode. The movie mode is swift but only does Apple Quicktime. Other formats would be a plus.

Great Camera!

3700 picture quality.......2005-09-16

I have owned a 3700 for several months. It takes sharp pictures,is a delight to carry. Everything about it is
first class..except......it takes pictures that are always very "cool". (Noticeably bluish). If you like faces with blueish skin,or scenics on the blue side even with lots of sunlight, OK. If you don't...Adobe and a touch of less blue and a touch of more red will produce pictures with color as good as any from Sony or Canon. (we have or have had both)
It is the 2nd Nikon camera I have owned and EACH of them (took)takes VERY cool pictures, ie pictures with a blue cast,

A non critical user wont worry about it. (But "they" dont worry about pictures from $5.00 throw-away cameras) Still,it is a good buy, and reliable. Good battery life.
However, the very few pix that you really love (its always very few, right?) to save and print..if you are at all critical, probably should be color corrected.
Note that the 3700's resolution (sharpness)is a trifle less than that of a Sony P150 or Sony V1 or Canon S50 (all owned by one relative or another) But the sharness differences are so minute that one is not aware of any differences if viewing prints from NORMAL viewing distance.The "noisy" night pictures also are just fine when you dont use a microscope but wiew on
a wall or in a photo album.
The bottom line to me is that camera sharpness should not be the number one all quality consideration.
Remember that that pleasing or poor color is obvious from any viewing distance whether a still picture or movie and that
some movies and peoplestill portraits are shot with diffusion to soften the "look", deliberately, thus dismissing sharpness in favor of creativity.
So the question of proper color always remains. Check that first, then sharpness second.

Very good for the start.......2005-09-05

Nikon is a very good brand forr all you people who knows that. there lens are pretty big compared as to the others. i got no problem whats so ever on this camera and it works like a charm. the 16 megabite secure digital memory card can hold up to 8 pictures in very good quality and resolution, low quality is double the amount.
you can buy a more reliable secure digital memory card in here that is 512 megabite storage. brand name scandisk and is around 50 dollars, not that bad.

Made for Goobers like me.......2005-05-10

If I can screw something up I usually will. This camera compensates for my total lack of ability to take a decent pic. For some reason 98% of the pics I have taken have come out absolutely stunning. When I took it to a family reunion and started taking pics side by side(with my family members using their ultra mega-pixel, high speed dig cams with all the bells and whistles only found on the space shuttle and other advanced technological inventions)it became readily apparent that my pics were greatly superior to the ones they were producing. It was worth the price of the camera to watch them fiddle with knobs,switches and dials on their cams to try and replicate (let alone exceed) the quality of the pics my 3700 was producing. Not wanting to acknowledge that I had a superior product they blamed everything from atmospheric pressure to the depleted ozone layer for their inferior pics. To make a long story short within a week they had sold their overpriced, over rated dig cams and purchased 3700's Nuff said.

The Small and Valuable.......2005-05-01

This camera for my Kid Birthday present and she like it very much. This Coolpix 3700 the small and practical camera I have ever have. Have video, voice recording, optical zoom, directly printed the image to the printer and very easy to use. You just turn on the camera and let the coolpix do for you. You still can use the manual shoot but it's not perfect. Its appropriate for my kid that she just need to framed the image and shoot. The 3.2 mega pixel is enough for A4 paper size.The price is approriate for your pocket
