I will readily admit -- "I'm an OLD DOG" and old dogs don't like NEW TRICKS. I have had and used extensively a Canon PowerShot SX120IS -- during my world-wide working days//experiences. The main draw to it was the use of DUAL AA batteries that are READILY available ANY-WHERE in the world. NO NEED to be limited to a charger and bothered with varying voltage sources around the world. I recently gave thought to -- what would happen when my Canon dies -- will I be able to find another camera that uses DUAL AA batteries? Accordingly about a month ago, I did some GOOGLING and discovered the Nikon CoolPix A10 (that is powered by TWO AA batteries -- JUST WHAT I WAS SEEKING! I promptly purchased it and I now have ASSURANCE that I will "for many years into the future" have an exceptional camera that uses TWO AA batteries. I am a HAPPY CAMPER and a VERY HAPPY Nikon customer. NIKON TEAM -- thanks for continuing to offer this camera -- for us "world traveling" OLD DOGS. At age 73, I am certain my recently acquired Nikon CoolPix A10 will OUT-LIVE me. Accordingly, I hope one of my heirs will enjoy using it and remembering me when they do. Cheers and best regards to the entire Nikon Team -- Dr. Don Heckerman (Akron, OH)

Frankly, was surprised at first at small, lightweight size. But it takes good pictures & the price was right! I like that it has internal memory so I can easily transfer photos to my laptop via usb cable. Hope it holds up.

I am a retired cosmetic dentist who used to teach dental photography to other cosmetic dentists wether in their offices or one of the three dental schools I taught at.. Obviously, this is not the camera we use for this purpose. However, as one who owns several lenses and camera bodies, this is the camera that is always within reach no matter where I am or what I am doing. RMM, DDS

I'm thrilled with this Coolpix - Happy with it in a way I was *not* happy with other brands I have tried over the years. I spend a lot of time carrying a fairly full bag of Nikon gear (incl. a D4), and welcome the change of pace and weight this camera affords me. The shots are sharp and well exposed -- quality images all around. I have total confidence when I stick this camera in my pocket, that I will return home with some nice family shots. (I also carry it everywhere -- I would *hate* to see something to shoot, and be without a camera.)

I love this camera. It is so easy to use and can capture those "photo opportunities" that show up unannounced. I had a earlier model Nikon Coolpix and took hundreds of beautiful landscape moments. I tried the bigger Nikon digital 35 mm cameras but my multiple sclerosis has progressed. So, this Nikon Coolpix is plain and simple and lets me take photos without so many adjustments. I highly recommend this camera.

While I have other Nikons, it always seems the one in my pocket is the one that gets used. This is a fair price, delivered quickly, as advertised. You can’t use the camera you left at home and for its size this is a strong performer.

We use this for taking pictures of existing conditions before revising drawings (architecture)....takes AA or rechargeable batteries a real plus considering the number of photos required in remote field locations. Plus for an inexpensive camera we can we can adjust Pixel size to speed up the buffer transfer to the card...
