This is the fourth generation of this type of Nikon I have purchased. I still have the first one (that I keep as a spare), but the others met their fate by being dropped on hard surfaces (no fault of Nikon). I keep buying them because they take AA batteries which are available everywhere. It may be a little larger than small cameras that take special camera batteries, but it slips in my pocket just fine, so I take it everywhere. The images are very sharp. It's a simple point-and-shoot, so if you are looking for more bells and whistles, pay more money for something else. If you want to have a camera in your pocket at all times and be able to capture sharp photos without going to the poor house, this camera is worth your consideration.
