Is this a good camera? NIKON COOLPIX 7600 7.1MP DIGITAL CAMERA?

Answer 1

Nikon is a good brand of digicam. Only you can decide if the small size and combination of features is right for you.

The 7.1 MP is higher than average, but doesn't contribute much unless you print at greater than 8x10" size or do a lot of cropping and enlarging.

Here's the bottom line comment from

www.steves-digicams.com

Bottom line - the Nikon Coolpix 7600 is an affordable ultra-compact digicam that offers users great image quality with an abundance of exposure options. The only annoyance I found was when using the flash. After you capture an image, the camera "locks up" until the flash is recharged, which causes you to miss out on some spontaneous photo opportunities. Its 7M/Fine images have plenty of resolution to create photo-quality 13x19-inch or larger prints. With a street price of around $379, it offers a good value for a 7-megapixel digicam.

(Note that prices are now running at $200 to $250.)

Answer 2

I would only suggest that if you want a somewhat useless point and shoot. the high mega pixels is useless since the 3x optical zoom wont give you much to use that 7.1 for anyway. if it uses digital zoom it will make the picture blurring kind of eliminating the 7.1 MP. if you want a good digital camera look for ones with a high optical zoom (10-12x).that will give you good pictures for your money
