Nikon Reviews

I was hesitant to buy this camera because I had a previous model of the Nikon One Touch that only lasted a year. But the price was good, and it seemed to have the quickest response time (time between when I pressed the button and the picture actually took-- important for shooting an on-the-go toddler!) It took FANTASTIC pictures for 3 months, clear, great focus, easy to use. Then the lens started not opening up all the way, I would have to manually pull it open. didn't realize that at my daughter's bday party and got a roll of fuzzy pics back. Now I have a roll of film stuck inside of it from Halloween, it won't rewind, new batteries, everything. I won't be buying a Nikon anymore.

Nikon's current version of One Touch 90 is relatively low cost but you get what you pay for. Takes great pictures, but the mechanics for the self-opening lens are hit or miss. I've bought two of this camera in four months and have had the lens mechanism fail AGAIN. Yet my One Touch 90 bought in the early 90s lasted 10 years. To avoid this problem, I'd pay the money for the upgraded model One Touch 180.

I've read many of the reviews written on this camera and must disagree. I've owned this project for about 1.5 years and have rarely had a problem with the quality of the photos. Whereas at least one review commented that the photos turned out "dark and greasy", I can honestly say that I've taken the photos and compared them to the item/animal being photographed and the color couldn't be any closer to reality. The only thing to remember is that if you're trying to take pictures of young children who don't sit still very long, you may want to turn off the red eye reduction (this applies for any brand of camera with red-eye reduction)

The photos are ok but the plastic material will crash at the most minimum impact. If you are not one of those extra-cautious guys look the other way around. In my cammera the faceplate was broken when falling at a height of 3-4 inches...
