I love my Nikon COOLPIX.  I don't think you could get a better camera at a better price.  The photo quality is great.  The menu options are easy to use and understand.  I love its compact size, I take it camping and hiking with me and forget that I even have it!  The battery is also easy to charge.  It is also nice for those without photo editing software because you can do a lot of work in camera like sizing photos.  The "people finder" feature is fun...it also has a smile meter and it will let you know if anyone is blinking in the photo.  The battery life is great too.  My boyfriend...
