5 Stars Love it.
I’m a novice photog but this thing is a great size for anyone. If you want to just carry a camera don’t get it.It is a decent sized backpack. It hold my camera, 2 lenses, 15in probook, with room for phone, chargers, snacks and a few other things. This is not a little camera bag but I love it.

5 Stars This bag is a BIG WOW!
I got this bag for my D90 , Tokina 50-135mm f/2.8 , Nikon 70-300 VR, Nikon 18-55, my Toshiba laptop, and all the other accessories and booklets that I carry around.

I was just taken aback at how easily things just fit in.. the padding is so good that I feel safe about my gear. I am planning to take this bag on a 21 day bike trip. It appears that it will hold itself and all the stuff up quite nicely. I will update the review when I return. But, so far.. its a 5-star for me!

4 Stars It’s in the bag (yeah that’s corny)
If you’ve seen the video, you know exactly how useful it is. It can be a little awkward to use because the top open space is of an odd shape. I have a D90 and even though the compartment is narrow, there is still a lot of room for the camera to move around. I haven’t gotten my laptop yet, but I’m sure it will fit. It’s really comfortable to wear too.

5 Stars Great backpack
I made an excellent choice. This bag allows me to carry my Canon XSI with a 70-300 lens on it and has room for another couple of lenses and accesories. The bag isn’t too big yet not so small.

5 Stars Perfect
I purchased this for my trip to Paris in August. It meets the specs to use as carry-on with all your airlines. This made it an even better purchase, because I didn’t want to have to put my camera and lenses with checked luggage. I use a Canon XSi with the kit lens, 50 mm lens, and 55-250 mm lens. I had the 55-250 mm attached and it fit perfectly, wasn’t a snug fit, but I wasn’t worried about lens coming unattached or breaking. Other lenses fit nice and snug. Compartments can also be configured based on your personal needs. Bag didn’t leak, carried it in the rain in Paris for about a 2 blocks and had no leak problems. The laptop compartment will definitely fit a unibody MacBook Pro 15 inch. I think it’ll fit a 17 inch with no problem. The upper compartment held card reader and remote. It also has plenty of room. Very comfortable to wear and doesn’t feel like you’re carrying a lot, I carried a full load the whole time. The only thing missing is a way to attach a tripod, I’ve found a sew shop here the will make me one for less than $5. The thing I really liked about the bag was that it doesn’t look like a camera bag, very inconspicuous. Paris is known for pick pockets.

2 Stars Bad image quality
I have used sony and canon cameras all my life. This was the first Nikon camera i got. Picture quality isn’t as great as others although some features seem to be neat.

5 Stars digital camera review
Excellent camera for the cost. Would recommend it to anyone. Very easy to transfet to computer.

5 Stars Great product for the money – can use rechargable
Hi, I bought this item from Amazon for their Thanksgiving sale. I should say it is a great product for the money I paid. I have used several 3x optical zoom cameras earlier . So, as far as optical zoom is concerned, I love this.

Lots of features in it. People who rate tis item as “crappy” did not read the manual for sure.

We can use rechargable batteries as it comes with the 1.1 version firmware from Nikon. Even if your camera has 1.0 firmware, you can easily download and install the firmware with almost ultra low work effort.

I think most of te pieces sold by Amazon come with 1.1 firmware.It is decently liht in weight, easy to use and does great as far as focusing. it has all possible options to shoot all types of pictures.

I will continue to write more as I explore more and more territories in the camera….. Good luck!

5 Stars Nikon Coolpix L100
Excellent product and results. It takes awhile for a novice like me to learn the various functions and how to execute their commands but it’s amazing what this small camera’s capabilities are; particularly considering the price range.

4 Stars Great Camera
This is a Great Camera. I read the reviews after I purchased it. I agree that after you take it out of the box and just start shooting pictures, they may not come out very good. That is why you HAVE TO READ THE MANUAL! After reading the manual, I LEARNED how to take great pictures indoors, outdoors, low lighting, high lighting, it all does fantastic. The pictures with this camera are perfect! Very bright, sharp, detailed, etc. If you learn how, you wont have a dull colored picture.

Tip —- Inside pics can be taken in the Auto Mode, but NOT the Easy Auto Mode. Also make sure you use the flash.

Tip —- Very close up pics inches away, you should use the Micro or Macro mode. You can experiment with the flash.

At first I thought I got ripped off as the pictures looked terrible. After reading the manual, I learned how to take awsome, sharp, great looking pictures.

You just have to read and learn how to use all the options such as vibration, motion, etc.

This isnt a point and shoot camera. Thats why it cost more than a $89 camera. Its a high quality camera for a low price of around $200. I am very, very picky on picture quality. This camera does great!

So far, I think the battery life is better than the cameras I have had in the past that I paid just under $100 for. It does take 4 AA batteries rather than 2 batteries. You do not want to use rechargable batteries. Just get the lithium batteries for about $7 for a pack of 4, and they last a good long time for any family get together. If your on vacation, you can spend about $21 bucks and have about 3 sets for the whole week, even though you probably wont need them all.

I had a fujifilm finepix 5mp camera that took awsome picutes with 3x optical zoom. I traded it for a samsung 7mp 3x optical, but was disappointed. My new nikon coolpix 10mp 15 optical takes just as great pictures as my old fuji film, but I now get 15x opt. zoom.

I took a picture of our Christmas tree from across the room with my new Nikon and my guitar amplifier was in the picture. After I took the picture, I zoomed on on the picture (after it was already taken), and I could read the words on the amplifier knobs, from all the way across the room. That really blew me away!!!

If you are willing to read the manual and LEARN about the camera, then this is for you. IF your not into tech stuff and learning about how to use something (like my elderly parents), then get a cheaper low end camera.
