I posted one review regarding this camera in which I gave the camera two stars because of its tendency to consistently underexpose full green auto mode flash photos. However, after 3 emails to Nikon’s tech support, I’ve changed my mind. First of all, please allow me to say that Nikon’s tech support is top notch. Technician David D was great.

Or one more thing: what Nikon calls ‘Active D-Lighting’ (translation: a significant change in the processor’s realistic rendition of contrast, highlights, shadows, etc. – the entire package of “TONE”). Also – can an LCD rear-screen get any better than this?? In Jim Cramer-parlance I have to say that this model is definitely “best of breed”. Continue reading
