"good product for my needs" 2010-03-01
By Thomas J. Washington (AUSTIN, TX, US)
I'm no expert, but for my needs this is a great little remote. It is very thin so slips into small pockets in my camera bag. I figured for 10 bucks, I'd be willing to risk it, i'm satisfied. Can't compare it to anything, never had one before.

"Practical but sometimes frustrating" 2010-02-26
By Patrick Balaresque
PRO's : Small, light, relatively cheap, very practical for family portraits and tripod-photography in general. It works out of the box with many models (have used it on the D70s, D60 and D90 without a problem) the only requirement is to set the shutter to "remote" mode

CON's : range. it can be a bit temperamental and seems to work better from in front of the camera. I've had to walk up to the camera, press the remote, and return (which is close to the "focus on run" method using only the camera's timer)

"Must have for all Nikon cameras" 2010-02-25
By Rayven (Ohio USA)
This little remote has a lot of suprises in it. Not too long before I sat to type this review, I was testing it out. With a D90 it doesn't matter where you stand with it, it'll still activate the shutter. It's perfect for those who want to do longer exposures than what your camera allows. I do a lot of night shots so I knew I needed something to get me beyond that limitation. A friend of mine pointed me this way and I have to say, I'm glad he did.

This little guy is also perfect for self portraits since you can't be behind the camera and focus on yourself. Works great with the self timer. Should you own a Nikon that can work with this, I highly reccomend you buy it.

"ML-L3 Remote" 2010-02-23
By Shoe chick (nj)
This was bought for my Nikon D5000, and it works great out the tiny little box. You need to remove the plastic off the battery then then change the cameras release mode setting in the menu. Take a picture. Done. This does autofocus as well. It is about as long as a womans index finger and does what it says it will do.

"Best 35mm film camera ever made." 2008-07-20
By John A. Bowen
Well, ok, the F6 is better. So what? If you can afford an F6 you can afford a D300, and the D300 stomps the F6 into the ground for everything you would normally use a 35mm camera for anyway. The only things most pro's still shoot with film are usually done with larger formats nowadays. Like me, for instance. Some of my clients like black and white film. So I tried this and a Fuji GA645 (medium format, exposes a piece of film right at 3 times larger than 35mm) side by side. Both cameras metered almost exactly the same, but wonder of wonders (no, not really), the medium format made better images. Still, 35mm is fine for everything up to 8x10 prints.

Current pricing at Amazon is stupid. $[...] and up? Get real. You can get the same kit used from www.keh.com for about $[...], if that. Go ahead, buy "BGN" (bargain) grade, you won't regret it.

If you can find anyone to process and scan it, shoot slide film. There is simply no comparison between slide and negative, slide wins every time.

Unless you're in low light, then you need to be shooting with a digital SLR, not film.

What are you hanging around here for? Go take some pictures!

"Great camera for the film fans" 2006-06-10
By dorel_c (SPRING, TX United States)
I have used different cameras, from manual Russian cameras, to state of the art point-and-shoot. I have even fiddled with digital cameras, and considered switching to digital. Well, I decided to stick to film for now, so I bought the Nikon N-80 (known in Europe as Nikon F-80, same camera with minimal software differences).

This is a very good camera, which adapts to every kind of user.

Occasional users: You can set it to automatic mode, in which case you have a very expensive point-and-shoot camera (even though I don't know why would one buy this camera to use in auto mode only). For people with little experience the camera's many controls might be intimidating, and the included manual provides help only for people that know quite a bit about cameras. Also, the flash has to be popped opened manually in order to work, which many people would forget (like I do sometimes). Perhaps, for ocassional users, it would be better to stick to a point-and-shot camera designed for point-and-shot.

Advanced amateur photographers and hobbyists will get the most out of it. Think of a professional camera similar to F-100, without the proffessional price tag. They will have all the customizations offered. I love the simplicity of exposure controls. You can switch by turning a thumb-wheel between pairs of speed-diaphragm while keeping an optimum exposure (in auto mode). In addition, a good option is continuous or single shot metering mode, which comes handy in action situations. For situations when timing is important, the controls are so well placed that once you get used to them, you can change all the settings without even taking the camera from your eyes.

If you are a professional, you already know about this camera and about the F-100 line, which might be better for you in some situations (even though in 90% of the cases this camera would be more than enough).

Things that might need improvement:

In dark places, the focus is somewhat slow (even if the "illuminator lamp" is used), and if your subject moves, you might have a problem focusing fast enough in auto mode. I lost some pictures in the beginning, until I learned to circumvent this issue by switching to continuous focus, or even to manual focus. I think that any other camera in this class would have the same troubles in similar situations.

All things considered, I love this camera and I wish I had more time (and money) to play with it.

"Great kit for amateurs, photography students, or pros!" 2004-01-22
By book_review_grrl (Raleigh, NC)
I love this camera! I am a photography student and freelance photographer, and this camera is amazing. It offers top-of-the-line features at a price a student can afford. It offers all-manual options that are perfect for student work - but also has the latest and greatest automated features. For example, Dynamic Autofocusing allows you to capture photos of moving subjects, even in continuous mode, all in focus. And, this particular kit comes with a Nikkor lens that goes from a wide-angle 28mm, to a normal 50mm, through to an 80mm telephoto for portrait work. A very affordable set up, and all at Nikon/Nikkor quality. I'd definitely recommend it!

"Great camera - I still use it..." 2009-02-01
By Andrew Lynn (Upstate)
...even though I also have a D60. The N75 (AKA F75) has amazing features, especially considering the price and weight.

It's like having an FX camera without having to pay for an FX camera.

Pros:

-It works with all Nikon autofocus lenses. This includes AF, AFS, D, G. VR works. DX lenses work, but at their widest zooms you lose the corners. This means I only need one set of lenses for the N75 and the D60.

-The N75 with the Nikkor 50mm 1.8 AF lens is an excellent, classic combination for very little money. Many of the best photographers have done most of their work with a 35mm SLR and a 50mm lens.

-The metering is excellent. Not need to worry about exposure. Override settings only needed in unusual situations.

-Same shooting "modes" as on a new DSLR. A Nikon digital user who runs out of battery can switch to this and hardly notice a difference.

-In many shooting situations, film still gives better results than digital. Try it with Fuji Superia or shoot architecture or nature with Fuji Velvia and a tripod. You can't get that kind of color with digital, at any price.

-It weighs nothing. Put that 50mm lens on it and it weighs half what an FX camera without lens weighs.

-Film is cool.

Cons:

-Pre-AF lenses (AI/AIS) work but only in manual mode without metering.

-Vignette when misusing DX lenses on film cameras.

-You'll need the film.

-When I shoot film I get it processed and scanned to CD with no prints. Some photo labs won't give me high resolution on these scans.

-Won't let me use the lens's aperture ring. Aperture ring must be locked except in full-manual mode without metering. (This is true with most Nikons.)

One more thing. A lot of people seem to think that which film SLR you have makes a big difference in your image quality. This isn't true. All an SLR does is hold the film and operate the lens - the shutter gets out of the way and the lens focuses light on the film. The shutter and meter in this cheap camera are as good as the shutter and meter in many much more expensive cameras, and those are the only parts of the camera body that affect imag quality.

"Nikon N75 Battery Compartment Cover a poor design" 2008-09-29
By W. Magerkurth (New Jersey)
Battery cover is very poor design and can easily come apart. A metal plate is attached to the plastic door with small plastic studs. If the studs sheer the entire door needs to be changed. Parts are hard to find, and the repair instruction manual are hard to come by. Authorized Nikon repair shops charge more than the cost of a new camera.

"Still a winner after ~ eight years" 2008-08-30

An excellent camera. Uses Nikon's smallest AF chassis (shared with the decontented N55). I have owned several and always had excellent results. It takes up very little space in my camera bag when stored without a lens (body cap installed) and becomes a backup to my D80.

"Value for money" 2007-11-11
By Hobbyist2006
Hello?!!! Why would anyone bother to buy a film camera, in these days of raging digital slr fever? In fact, why bother with an auto-focus film SLR at all, when you can buy manual focus Nikon SLRs and go fully retro if you're really nostalgic for those "good-ole" noisy, fiddly, bulky SLR days?

Let me tell you why. It makes sense. At least from a serious hobby photographer like myself. I have a digital slr and a couple of manual focus Nikon cameras. My dslr is my main camera. But I still love to shoot film. I still love to make a fuss just to create one picture, wait for it to be developed and printed. I like shopping for various film ISOs, load film, hear the whir of the film advance mechanism. I am one of those nuts who love to unroll a developed negative and still be fascinated with the organic, almost magical nature of it all!

Now I choose the Nikon F75/N75 because I wanted the convenience of automation while still shooting film. F100s, even F80s are still very expensive for me, not to mention F5s and F6s. The other choices were N55, N60, N65 but going through their individual reviews, I know I wont be satisfied with them. I therefore got myself an N75 with databack and MB-18 battery grip. This is a fantastic combination! Reviews about it correctly state that this is a beginner's camera with option for more advanced photographers. When you know nothing of photography principles but savvy enough to know that an SLR is superior to a point and shoot, this is for you. Once you gain some skills in photography, this camera will open up options that will test your knowledge.

Here are the things I like about the N75:

1. CenterWeighted (CW) metering in Manual Mode. Some reviews mention this as a disadvantage, prefering CW metering as an option available in any mode. What is CW metering anyway? Does the intended target of this camera care? If you dont know what the heck it is, you'll thank Nikon for putting CW in Manual Mode only! Because you will only use Manual mode anyway when you want to be creative about your exposure- overriding the meter, using off-camera flash, etc-which means you know your photography. In all other modes the camera uses the reliable Matrix meter. With a little insight you can even override that using the easy-to-use exposure compensation!

2. Spot meter available only in AutoExposure lock button and must be customized. Again, there are reviews that diss this method, preferring to have spotmeter freely available in all modes. Let me ask you. Do you know what is spot meter? Do you know how to use it? Do you know the zone system? If you don't and chances are you are one of the intended target of this camera, you will also thank Nikon for putting spot meter this way. You cannot accidentally switch it. You must intentionally and deliberately customize it to use it which means you must know how to use it. If it were freely available in all options and you dont know what it does, you may very well be in for the shock of your life to see severely overblown and under-exposed photos come from your negatives when you shot using spot meter under very common lighting situations. And then you will blame Nikon for making such a crappy camera!

3. Film prewind. People have mixed reaction to this facility. It takes getting used to. Personally I like it. When you use the battery pack and grip MB-18 like I do, it only takes 10 seconds flat to prewind a 36 exposure film. That's plenty fast enough for me. What's more, if you accidentally opened the back midroll you would have saved your previous shots since they are already inside the film canister.

4. The camera has a dedicated optional MB-18 battery grip which has its own vertical shutter release and power on switch! I guess there will be no argument here. The convenience of using AA batteries over exhorbitantly priced, one-use lithiums is obvious. You will be pleased with the ease with which to take pictures when holding the camera vertically.

5. It has 12 custom functions. For that time when you know a bit more than a beginner and want a taste of a little adventure in your photography. Go to spot meter, CW meter, multiple exposures. Heck go and bracket your exposures! You already know these stuff, right? When you feel you need instant access to these advanced options then perhaps you can invest in more expensive cameras.

6. It comes with a model which have data back. Here is another much maligned facility. Some folks say those tiny date imprints are unprofessional and distract from the subject. I dont know about you. But I am not shooting for museum galleries or for national geographic magazine or any news agency. I am shooting pictures for much more special clients: my family and friends. I am really pleased to be able to imprint dates in pictures since for me they add points of interest when we later look at them in our favorite chair or pillow.

7. The sound of shutter release is subdued. Motor whir which advances film is also quiet. I just love it.

Now some of the things I consider areas for improvement- bearing in mind this is just a beginner-to-serious amateur camera:

1. A brighter viewfinder screen.

2. Option to switch on grid lines (like that in the N80.)

3. Ability to meter with manual focus lenses. then again, what beginner has them?

A little faster continuous mode would be really nice like 2-3 frames per second instead of 1.5 fps and a slightly stronger builtin flash would be good.

Although this is a plastic camera, it is very well built and beautiful to look at. I heartilly recommend the N75/F75 to all amateurs and beginners who are on a tight budget for an AF film SLR yet want the option of more advanced features when knowledge grows. I also recommend getting the MB-18 battery grip. It is not much of an added weight or price. But the convenience and economy it provides is big.

There is unique joy in shooting film that digital has not yet replaced and probably never will. The F75/N75 delivers the goods!

If you are already adept in photography, have a formidable collection of manual focus lenses and wanted a film AF SLR, go for the F100 and higher.

As for me, I am very happy with my N75.

"Perfect for travel or photographers just starting out" 2010-01-04
By Christa J. Setterlund
The Nikon D60 was a 21st birthday present to myself. I bought it on ebay as a packaged deal with 2 lenses, and gobs of other little things. (I would not recommend buying it as package bundle, unless you know the smaller items are good quality).

10.2 megapixels is a good trade for the price. I never had an issue with blowing up my images or printing with professional printers.

A function I love with Nikon cameras is the "no-flash" setting. It's been a lifesaver when I don't want to use a flash but I want the camera to automatically use the best settings for a low light situation without the flash. The on-camera flash is another plus. My high end camera doesn't have one and it can be frustrating using a bulky off-camera flash all the time.

I used the Nikon D60 rigorously for over a year with everything from coursework (I am a photography student) to fun gatherings. It's portable compared to the Canon 5D Mark II, which I also own. I use the Nikon D60 for occasions when I don't have time to worry about the thousands of dollars in my other camera (i.e. apartment hunting, traveling, and daily snapshots). I also frequently use the Nikon as a backup if my other camera's battery dies.

Nikon vs. Canon debate: Since using both, I don't believe that one brand is "better" than the other, but I do feel that each has a different feel and look. I first wanted a Nikon because I liked the way it functioned and I was falsely told that Nikon takes sharper images. I've heard that Canon lenses have been around longer, and generally are better made because of that.

Bottom Line: The Nikon D60 is a great camera for the price. You'll get sharp images, easy functionality, and portability. Perfect for student, beginning photographers, or family travel camera.

"Gadget Owner Blog: The Nikon D60" 2009-12-20
By Kevin C. Giszewski (Indiana)
I've been an owner for over a year and it remains a popular choice among prosumers. I'm not going to go into the the features or comparisons to great extent but I at least wanted to give an idea of how the Nikon D60 has served me.

This camera is for entry-level photographers that need more than a point-and-shoot.

In short, I love the D60 and I'm glad I bought it. It produces incredible RAW images that I can tweak with Photoshop. It's a full-fledged DSLR and not one of those in-between types. I've taken countless photos of family and friends and it hasn't failed me yet. I have several different lenses for it and it works with most of the older lenses (however not all auto-focus).

My level of expertise at this point on photography is modest and I didn't find it too difficult to get started. I do recommend several books if you are just starting out:

David Busch's Nikon D60 Guide to Digital SLR Photography - This is the manual that should come with D60's.

The Digital Photography Book - Scott Kelby

The Digital Photography Book, Volume 2

Pros

- Small

- A true DSLR

- Great image quality

- Can use a remote - which I also own

- Can use external flashes - I own the Nikon SB900

- Price

Cons

- Cannot be used as a master flash

- Cannot auto-focus older AF lenses

- No live view

- No video

"Great DSLR" 2009-12-01
By Michael Covey (Southeast Virginia)
I purchased this camera from Amazon about ten months ago. Even though that much time has passed, I still haven't mastered all of the functions of this camera. Admittedly, I consider myself to be a novice. I got this camera as an upgrade from my Canon S2 IS which offered a lot of functionality over a typical compact digital camera but not as much as I wanted. The D60 gives me the same creative freedom that I once enjoyed from my old 1990's Canon T60 SLR (told you I was novice!).

If you are purchasing this camera as an upgrade from a point and shoot, I suggest shooting in Manual mode, aperture priority, or shutter priority once you familiarize yourself with the controls. Shooting in one of these three modes can really give you great results.

My only gripe is the focus ring on the 18mm-55mm kit lens. It's way too small. When I've switched to manual focus, it just feels weird having such a small area to grip. Maybe that's typical for autofocus lenses, I don't know. My only other SLR experience did not have autofocus.

One last tip: turn off the auto review option! It's very frustrating to take a shot then get ready to take another and you're in review mode for a few moments.

Overall, though, I am very happy with this camera and I would definitely recommend it.

"Awesome camera for new dSLR users" 2009-11-26

For a long while I had the desire to make my pictures "grow up" by taking the step to dSLRs. After much research I decided on the Nikon d60, although all our other cameras are Canon. I have not been disappointed!

The manual helps you learn how to operate the camera on a basic level. I learned how to improve my pictures and use all the features with the help of books from Amazon or Barnes and Noble. Do not rely on the manual to teach you everything. LOL

I have taken thousands of pictures with my camera and continue to improve. I love my d60 and get a thrill each time I put in my hands.

"Love this camera!!!! Nikon D60" 2009-11-26
By Michelle M. Haley (Mansfield, MA)
My husband bought this camera for me last Christmas as a gift and I love it! I was a little afraid of all the features at first but now (11 months later)I cannot put it down! I take it everywhere! Two months ago I bought a new lens (for distance) to use at football and soccer games...etc. Now, I love it even more! It is light-wieght for the most part; we took it on our Disney vacation (in September) and I wore it all around the parks for 7 days. It did not feel heavy at all. The D60 took pictures that were the same quality as the Photo Pass pictures offered by Disney. The shutter speed is fast-- literally click-click-click; I never miss a shot now. The battery lasts quiet a while before needing recharging. If you are considering this camera...go for it! Everyone who touches my camera wants to buy one. The only "con" I can think of is that when you take a picture you have to hold the camera to your eye and look through the "view-finder" and then pull it back to see the picture display on the LCD screen. I do not mind but a few people I know have said they don't know if they could go back to the "old way" of not being able to see the picture on LCD before taking the shot. I highly recommend this camera. If it were stolen or lost I would buy it again without hesitation.

"Awesome beginners digital/slr" 2010-02-03
By MLKurtz (Weatherly, PA)
Although, I'm new to the digital/slr camera, this is a great camera. I intend on practicing to get ready for our cruise to Hawaii. It should take awesome pictures. Many of my friends who have Nikon's, swear by them. I've been a Canon user, so we'll see...

"good deal" 2010-01-31
By RBNJ (New Jersey)
I just bought this package as my first SLR for a class I am taking. I did research and found this to be a good deal. It comes with everything to get started taking pictures immediately. The package includes an extra battery, battery charger and even an 8g memory card. I like the camera so far, takes nice pictures and is fun to use. Only small drawback is it does not have liveview so you must look through the view finder when taking the picture. Not an issue for me but worth mentioning.

If your in the market for an entry level SLR I would not hesitate to buy this package deal.

"Nikon D5000 camera bag" 2010-02-14
By Gordon W. Krietemeier
The bag is quality made and extremely good for use with the Nikon D3000 or D5000.......with exceptions:

The bag is not large enough to carry additional camera equipment.

If you wish to carry an additional lense I would advise to purchase the Nikon bag made for the D90 type camera.

The DVD was great for us novices. The case is not really big enough if you carry more than 1 lens.

Lightweight.

Just wish it was a bit larger to fit an extra lens.

The DVD is good for the beginners that's it.

"Pretty nice" 2010-02-05
By A. Naseer (Atlanta, GA)
While some of the other reviews mention that you cant fit an additional lens, that doesnt seem to be a problem for me. The second lens is a snug fit and you have you put is vertically, but you can use the foam seperators to protect them. I have a D5000 with the 18-55 lens. I keep that attached to the body, and put my other 55-200 lens vertically in this case. Plus it holds all other accessories and wires. The best thing is that its not as big as some of the other cases.

"You will not find a better DSLR in this range!!!" 2010-02-16
By M. Molton
Go ahead and get this over the D3000 and under the D90. This thing is easy to use if you don't know what you are doing and has all the options if you do. You can really take pro pictures as an amateur. I bought the 18-55mm kit and added the 35mm F/1.8 lens for $189. I use the 35mm for most everything around the house and the 18-55mm will get it done when out sightseeing. I bought the Patriot 8gb class 10 SD card and it is super fast with this camera at a very cheap price tag of $26.

"Hands on comparison with T1i" 2010-02-16
By David Sarek (Florida, USA)
My research boiled down to a face-off between the D5000 and Canon T1i. Initially, I was leaning toward the T1i but when I went to the local electronics retailer and compared them side by side the D5000 won out. There were just a few features that were not obvious to me from the written reviews that tipped the balance in favor of the Nikon. Before we get into the details, just let me say that I'm not a pro - just an amateur, but have used a DSLR for a couple of years, and film SLRs prior to that.

Layout/Design: The D5000 seems to have a better grip and button/control layout. For example, the index finger can operate the on/off switch, and reach nearby buttons while resting on the shutter button. The thumb can manipulate the command dial to select desired values for factors such as ISO, Exposure Compensation, etc. - all while you keep the finger on the shutter button. On the T1i, you must remove your finger from the shutter button, select a setting button (e.g. ISO), and then move the command dial with your index finger. This just doesn't seem as good a design to me.

Shooting Info/Status Display LCD: On the Canon, I noticed a lot of "white" space where no information was displayed and the values seemed to have random pattern. Indeed, if you compare the exposure info layout to the predecessor XSi you will see several differences. I also noticed that the T1i does not show several items on the main info display: Flash Mode (except in Creative Auto mode where it is ~apparently~ important enough to be displayed), Bracketing Mode, and Focus Points that are available on the Nikon. Exposure Compensation is shown, but is less than obvious (its a small hash mark under the exposure meter). To me, flash mode (on/off/red-eye, etc.) is pretty important and should be always visible. On the Nikon, every key bit of exposure info is displayed on the single shooting info display. The layout is very uniform - the key settings are in the main area, and the less often used info is on the right and bottom borders. The layout is nearly identical to other recent Nikon models.

Auto/Scene Mode Flexibility: I discovered that the Nikon, unlike the Canon, allows one to modify many exposure settings even in the automated Scene (Digital Vari-Program) modes. These include ISO, white balance, Auto Focus Mode, AF Area, AF Point, etc. The only adjustment possible on most scene modes on the T1i is image size/quality (check the Function Availability Table). I think this is quite a limitation, I think the ability to tell the camera that I'm taking a portrait but also override ISO, or auto white balance if I choose offers much more flexility and control.

Auto Focus: Some reviews mentioned this but it may not be obvious to newbies. In low light the DSLR needs to use a assist light to focus quickly and accurately. The T1i requires the flash to be deployed for this to happen, while the Nikon has an independent focus assist lamp which is always available (unless manually disabled). Most find this lamp to be less annoying than the Canon's flash strobe.

Built-in Help: When you are attempting to change an exposure setting, or menu option and forget what the functions does, etc. the D5000 has a help button that provides a pop-up explanation on the LCD display. This is great for new to SLR users and even seasoned photographers when facing a menu option you haven't used in a while. The Canon does not have anything like this.

So, there are a few features that sold me on the D5000. I've had it for about two months now and am very happy with it. The easy of use, speed, and picture quality has been superb in my opinion. Hope this helps!

"D5000" 2010-02-13
By J. Chaney (Raleigh, NC)
For what it is, this has been an excellent camera. I'm coming over from film and this is my first foray into DSLR's, and this camera has done all I've asked it to do. The functions of this camera depend more on the capabilities of the user than the camera. I have used the kit lens from night shots to snow shots, used 2 of my old film lenses (the 50mm f1/8 is my favorite), and this camera has responded very well. If you want a pick up and take photos gem, buy a point and shoot. If you know how to use an SLR, this is great camera for the price lacking only in fps, some upper end functionality, and is in my opinion an excellent lower cost alternative to the D90.

"Great camera with swivel display and HD video" 2010-02-08
By Stevio (Los Angeles, CA)
I was looking for an upgrade to my compact digital camera and knew I wanted to have HD video too. This was a great deal and I got the 55-200mm lenses also as a package for $700. There was a rebate offer too and so I get $80 back on top of the bundle discount.

The camera is good to use on auto and pre-set pic mode. But the manual settings are what you're paying for and I've yet to fully take advantage of these. However, in auto mode I did take the camera out for a night and was disappointed that in low light the camera performed worse than my compact point-and-shoot. I mean, with the old Canon Ixus I could take a shot in the dark. With the D5000 it wouldn't let me take a shot until I cheated it (by pointing it at a brighter object and locking the lense by pressing down 1/2 way on the shutter button. Then I moved to the darker subject and fully depressed the button to get the camera and flash to work.

"Simply Brilliant" 2010-02-08
By Ginger Taby (New York, NY)
I've had this camera just a few weeks and have been amazed from moment 1. It takes a lot to impress me. Low light photos come out with color intact (no flash) - ideal for museum items. Multi area shots w/ different light levels are beyond expectation - one image actually caught the light reflection in large glass window - showing the reflection and image through the window - totally secondary. I have not yet used the video option and can't comment on this. The ability to edit photos on camera is great for anyone not traveling with a laptop. The menus are easy to read and understand. Drawbacks - 1.3 lbs (w/ battery) it's hard to hide or be discrete about your cargo.
