My Review 

This camera is my very first camera I ever had and still is! It is definitely great for beginners! So don't expect top-notch quality. It has a 1-year warranty, but I am already having some problems with it and I've had it for less than a year. I think I may have to buy another battery which may be the answer to one of the problems. But other than that it is a wonderful camera and has lots of memory (I got almost all the way to 1,000 photos!). I love my Nikon!

Camera "pros" 

Lots of memory, not pixelated when put on full screen on computer, lightweight, small, easy to carry, etc.

Camera "cons" 

Battery problems, hard to focus sometimes, other problems I have not yet figured out, not the best camera ever, etc.

Is this camera easy to use? 

Very easy to use

Shoots great photos

About average

Thanks for the review -- you're right about cameras tending to have struggles with battery longevity. You can expect to buy a new battery every 12-24 months, depending on how much you use the camera.
