What Is It & Why You Need It
Nikon’s Electronic VR image stabilization compensates for the effects
of camera shake by adjusting the shutter speed and ISO to reduce image blur.
Motion Detection automatically detects a moving subject and adjusts shutter
speed and the ISO setting to compensate for camera shake and subject movement.
High ISO 2000 capability helps give you sharper results when shooting
in low light or capturing fast-moving subjects.
Nikon’s original Best Shot Selector automatically takes up to 10 shots
while the shutter is pressed and saves the sharpest image.

Several things are good about this camera, mainly the face recognition feature along with it's size and weight. Also, the touch screen is really cool and photos can be zoomed in or out, cropped, and saved as a new image. Pictures come out great in outdoor or well lit situations.
Hand jiggles or movement will result in a blurry photo. The Auto detect feature is lacking for situations where there are dim lights involved. These pictures come out yellowish almost every time. In bright backgrounds scenarios, the person will, many times, be dark and unrecognizable.
I took this camera to the aquarium on vacation in the Bahamas. Many of the indoor pictures came out so-so. The vibrant colors of the eels were not displayed in the photo.
All-in-all, I wish I had spent my money on a different model. Apparently, I take a lot more indoor, dimly lit photos than I realized and have been growing to be quite unhappy with the results this camera has given.
Keep looking...this is not the camera for you!

This camera while small in size has a nice user interface that's easy to understand and make adjustments. Unfortunately that does not make up for the terrible picture quality. It's one thing to have a bevy of features to choose from, but they mean nothing when the pictures come out looking so bad. Typically the pictures look muddy, grainy, and lacking any visual punch. For the money I expected a lot more!

MEGAPIXELS AND PHOTO PRINT SIZE
The
photo print quality of your images depends on the camera's "megapixel
rating." The higher number of pixels your camera has, the higher the resolution
(or sharpness) of your images---and the larger your prints can be without
quality loss.
Digital Camera Flash Storage
Capacities
* Average file size
using cameras highest resolution JPEG mode. Actual number of
photos, songs, and minutes will vary depending on camera/device model,
format resolution and compression, usable capacity, and bundled software.
Actual usable memory capacity may vary. 1MB equals 1 million bytes; 1GB
equals 1 billion bytes.
NUMBER OF IMAGES STORED ON A DIGITAL CARD The number of
pictures you can take varies depending on your camera model and complexity
of the scene being photographed. To calculate how many pictures your card
can hold, divide the capacity of your card by the average file size of your
images. For example, if you have a 256MB card, and use a camera that has an
average file size of 1.2MB, then 256 divided by 1.2 gives you approximately
213 pictures. As you change modes on your camera, the number of images will
increase if you shoot in a lower resolution mode, and decrease if you shoot
in a higher resolution mode.
Contents of package may vary from those pictured and stated here,
due to changes in manufacturer's specifications or merchandising.
Please check the product information carefully, items not included
