my long life camera.......2007-03-30

My dad brought me this camera when they first come out. I had it for over 6 years and everything works great....my battery still alive and it tooks nice pictures. Just until recently, i found some kind "oily" spot appera on the every my pictures. I guess it is old enough for me to retire.

I'll miss it . . ........2006-11-14

My Nikon 2500 Coolpix camera died on me today after 3 faithful years of service. The murderer has been apprehended. She is said to be a mischeivious 18 month old girl with an appetite for shiny objects with buttons. This is not her first murder conviction and it probably won't be her last . . .

This camera was my first digital camera and I used the heck out of it! At last count I have taken over 200,000 pictures. I used it for an online buisness and for personal family use. I bought it refurbished so I expected it to have problems from the get-go, but it was great up until it's early demise.

The amazing unique feature on this camera was the tilting lense feature. I can't tell you how many times I used it. The camera was also very easy to use and understand, especially for the beginner - like I was. The battery life was Okay, it usually died on me after about 100 shots.

The flaws on this camera are common flaws seen in any digicam this size. The lense is really small so low light or indoor pictures are awful. I missed a lot of adorable shots of my children indoors because of this issue. Red Eye is awful as well. The outdoor full sun pictures were really nice though, some of them positively stunning.

Since I use my camera indoors mainly I decided to go with a camera twice as expensive this time around. One with a big lense!

Neat Camera but went dead after 19 months.......2006-06-26

This was pretty good deal for me or atleast it looked to me till 1 week before. One fine day, it suddenly stopped working and it is showing me image only when the swivel lens is turned towards the photographer. Now it has started showing me SYSTEM ERROR and makes lot of noise when I turn on\off the camera. This is nice deal provided you are ready to spend couple of hundered dollars for 12-20 months of use. After that be ready to buy a new one.

SYSTEM ERROR.......2005-03-27

Okay, for 18 months it was a reasonable--not great--camera. It's not big and looks cool, but it is also slow and performs poorly in low light. Red eye is a huge problem.

But, after 18 months, the camera failed to work and displayed SYSTEM ERROR.

SYSTEM ERROR is apparently a common Nikon problem and requires the camera be sent to Nikon for a costly fix. Thus, my one-star rating; I don't have enough cash for my digital cameras to be disposable, I need them to be reliable.

I recommend heartily against the Nikon brand and am awaiting delivery of a new Canon A95.

Still kickin.......2005-01-18

I have had this camera for a year and a 1/2, and I still find it a great camera for casual photos.

I love the swinging lense-it keeps the lense covered well when not in use, and you can take self-portraits very easy. I also like that you can angle up/down for awkward shots. Extreme closeups are sharp, but you have to fool around to guess where the focal point is. I haven't even played with the video clip part. I do like that you can make small images as you go. The Nikon software was mediocre. I stopped using it. Too bad they didn't continue with this design.

I decided to write this review after looking at similar cameras this past holiday season. While it sucks at indoor pictures (dark and RED)unless there is A LOT of light (the triple flash is obnoxious), it generally delivers. It took better shots of fireworks than my friend's newer camera. [...]

It's holding up very well to being tossed about in my bag, even without a case. The batteries don't charge as well as they did, but it's still usable. It uses Compact Flash, which I feel is better media than the starting-to-fade-away SD or MMC.

If you see it at a good price, go for it. I paid $150 for it and a case and more memory. Should be a lot cheaper now.
