I like it for the beach but..

The buttons are undersized for water use.It still is great for rough environs.

Don't get this camera for the 720 60fps. It took 4 phone calls to nikon tech support for them figure out that it is limited to 30 second clips.

Fantastic Camera

I have previously owned a Canon Rebel XS DSLR, as well as various film cameras. I decided to invest in a high-quality, light-weight point-and-shoot to take with me on hiking trips and various outdoor adventures. Naturally, I wanted a device that could keep performing through all of the various weather situations it gets put through, and be averse to drops and impacts. I've owned this camera for about a month now and have taken it hiking multiples times, as well as taken it to less-extreme places, such as the local botanical gardens. I couldn't be happier! This little baby takes brilliant video, and one of my favorite activities has becoming shooting underwater video. The pictures, although not quite as crisp and noiseless as my DSLR, are high definition and accurately reflect the light and color quality of the subjects. Another favorite feature is the macro option, which can shoot incredibly close to subjects and keep that high clarity resolution. I would definitely recommend this camera to both casual and advanced photographers for its light weight, ease of usability, fantastic options, and high quality results!

Solid P&S Camera

Bought as a lightweight compact alternative to my primary Nikon SLR. Will use on those times when I cannot bring the big camera bag.

Great Value

I used this camera on a snorkeling and scuba diving trip. I used it underwater as deep as 15 feet without a problem. It did a good job with video as well as snap shots. I just wish it had a viewfinder for underwater as the LCD screen was difficult to view in certain lighting conditions. The battery life was great.

Seems as Good as new

I decided to buy the Mack Diamond coverage for this camera since the other warranties do not cover water damage (even though this is a waterproof camera).

So far, so good

Former professional sports photographer, now techy enthusiast. Got this for a trip to Ireland on which we intended to do a lot of hiking in inclement weather and through unpredictable terrain. I didn't want to bring my DSLR and expensive lenses in the rain and saltwater mist. This camera was the right price, the right size to pack, and has all the tech specs to take really good images without risking a thousand-dollar kit. The refurb price of this camera makes it almost criminal to NOT buy one. Throw it in your backpack/glove box/purse for any time you need a picture but don't have (or don't want to endanger) your primary kit. Images are of comparable quality to any other P&S I've ever used; startup is lightning-fast; lag between shots is negligible; vibration-reduction is good; controls and menus are intuitive; buttons are responsive. Getting used to using the screen in lieu of a viewfinder is tough, but that's not the camera's fault. I only briefly used the video, so my opinion there is limited, but I don't have anything to complain about. The only real gripe I have is that the flash resets to Auto every time I turn the camera off and on again. There may even be a way to change this, I haven't delved into the setting yet. Tl;dr: Amazing, inexpensive, little tank of a camera. I can't think of a reason NOT to buy one. Grab an extra battery while you're at it, they're only $20.

Great camera, best price

I bought this elsewhere but then returned and bought here... for half the price! This is a great camera. I was formerly a die hard Olympus fan but after checking out the new Olympus products and hearing reviews from my friends, I've switched to Nikon. Excellent camera. It does have trouble shooting at the aquarium, where my old Olympus never missed a beat, but the new Olympus' still can't keep up. The big con is that there is no lens cover, so you really do need a case if you plan to stuff this in a back pack or otherwise torture it as it is built to withstand (and as I do).
