great camera, fast auto focus, good low-light focus.

I am just disappointed with the battery life, I have 2 other compact cameras, one is also a Nikon, they both have much better battery life.

i highly recommend you get 2 or 3 extra batteries. Other than that you will love this camera!

get a big memory card too, 4 or 8 gig!

Photos aren't sharp enough for a product this expensive 2010-01-09

I got this camera for Christmas, so I've been using it for 2+ weeks. Yes, the projector is very cool. And the wideness of the lens is great. The flash recharges fairly quickly. But the photos I've taken with it aren't as sharp as those from the Casio Exilim camera I got 3 years ago. And at the end of the day for me, sharp photos are more important than bells and whistles. Also, the lens is in the upper right corner of the camera instead of dead center which is where the projector is (a strange design choice), so you have to be careful how you hold it so you don't get the edge of your finger in the image. The flash is very bright, so you can't be too close to your subject when using it -- it washes out the image. And because the lens is so wide, I did find myself getting closer to my subjects. So unless you have some urgent need for the projector feature, I can't recommend this camera, especially given how expensive it is. I've gone back to using my Casio camera...which is also lighter and easier to stick in my pocket.

The Projector is the Great 2010-01-05

Takes great pictures, easy to use, turns on quick, everything is great.

You have to adjust the focus on the projector manually which is not a big deal, very easy to do, the adjustment is well placed on the top of the camera.

It's a hit! 2009-12-26

I purchased this item for my husband for Christmas. He totally loved it! The instructions were easy for him to follow. In less than 24 hours he felt completely at ease with using this camera. The pictures are great. Everyone loved the projector feature!! He spent his holiday season taking pictures of everyone and then displaying them on the wall. The projector pictures looked as good as the photo pictures. I am not sure how a professional photographer would review this product. I am sure we will enjoy taking (and showing) lots of family pictures for years to come!

The best present ever! 2009-11-20

This is the greatest camera ever. Not only does it have high resolution images and 12.1 megapixels( I think) it also has a built-in-projector that enables u to project your pictures and videos clearly instead of squeezing around the LCD screenjust to see a picture. This camera might be the best christmas present ever( I know it is very early.) Don't believe me? Think I am just joking? Try it out for yourself! It is quite new so don't be surprised if you cannot find it in some stores.
