Full review on the camera! 🙂
Wow! When it comes to me reviewing a product, I usually never put feedback on it unless I feel like I should! I've taken plenty of time to experiment with this camera and now I'm gonna do the pros and cons on the camera.Pros:1.) The camera is very nice and comfortable to hold and has a good grip to it.2.) When you're in a tight spot to look at the screen for taking pictures or recording a video, you can move the screen which makes life so much easier.3.) The 40× zoom lense is amazing! I have taken some awesome videos and pictures from a far distance.4.) The camera/picture quality isn't the best ($1000 camera) but it does still take great pictures. Not bad at all.5.) The accessories that come with the camera are good too. I had a little issue with one of the accessories and the seller helped me right away and sent me the replacement. Very nice seller.Cons:1.) When you want to use the camera for photos, I wouldn't recommend you using it for fast paced pictures because it only takes one at a time and it's a little slow when clicking but they turn out good. (unless someone can tell me how to change it). But it's good for doing landscape, portrait, and etc... But if you want to take it to a football game to get a picture while someone is running then don't get it. (Still, unless someone can tell me how to change it)2.) The battery life isn't the best because you have to use 4 regular batteries for the camera and it's not too big of a deal but I wish there were better batteries for this camera. But you get 8 batteries for your camera in this kit, 4 rechargeable and 4 non rechargeable batteries.3.) It's not too big of a deal but I just with the camera had more settings to mess around with for pictures. There are still quite a bit of settings on the camera, but I just wish there were more.4.) The tripod you get with the camera isn't the best, but it's still good. I just wish it was built a little better and not have a cheap feel to it. I doubt anyone is gonna think or really care about the wallet that comes with it but don't expect it to be a full sized wallet that you can put credit cards and stuff in. It's for SD cards and stuff like that. Just a heads up.5.) The camera doesn't come with a manual, but it's pretty easy to understand. But if you're new to cameras then I recommend buying a manual for the camera!Other than that, I love the camera. It's great. I also have some pictures that I've taken with the camera. Some are edited a little but here's a good example on the camera quality! Hope you enjoy!!! 🙂🙂🙂

Amazing camera!
I’m not usually one to write reviews but this camera took me by surprise!! It’s relatively light given you don’t have to attach another lens, the zoom is out of this world, and the seamless bluetooth transfer of pictures from camera to my cell phone seals the deal. I’ve been on the fence about which camera to get for a while so I started researching and settled with this. It has various “scene” modes including one for the moon, so when I noticed the full moon last night I snapped a few shots and WOW. I am impressed! It looks like a telescope took these because they’re so clear nope it was my b500. I haven’t used it for casual portraits or videos much yet but I’m confident I’ll love this camera for years to come. If you’re a beginner just looking for the simple things out of a camera with room to grow into, consider this. Additionally the items that came with the bundle (tripod, memory card, rechargeable batteries) are more items if convenience than necessity but worth the price if you intend to use the camera often.

Great Bundle/ Awesome seller
This Bundle was amazing. Perfect Christmas gift too. I purchased this in order to take pictures of items to post on my online store and also for leisure picture taking outdoors. Great quality photos. You can’t go wrong with Nikon. Came with a lot of useful accessories that made use so much easier and delightful. The tripod that came in the bundle was broken due to shipping issues and The seller “SELLOUTDEALS” was kind and very quick to respond to my request for a replacement and sent one out immediately.I appreciate good quality service with good quality items. 100% recommend!

Love this Camera!!!
I’ve had this camera for four years, and it has not failed me yet! It takes good quality photos and it’s easy to use. The equipment I use the most often are the rechargeable batteries and the mini tripod–which I had to replace because it broke.Here are the only issues I have:1) It’s harder to take photos of moving subjects.2) It does take a while for the camera to focus when zoomed all the way (10-15 seconds).3) Some photos are harder to take in spaces with dark or poor lighting (but that may not be the camera’s fault).I also had trouble with iPhone Sync app. So instead of being able to instantaneously sync photos from my camera to my phone, I have to wait to get home to upload them on my laptop for Amazon and Google Photos.Despite all that, I still think this is a good purchase for those starting off in photography. I’ve also included the photos I’ve taken with the camera. Side Note: some of the photos have been touched up. Especially the trees and the leaf shots.

Second time's a charm, apparently
Got this for my grandson (13) for Christmas. He loves photography. First one didn't work...at all...wouldnt even turn on. Surprising after great reviews. After some back and forth with (an unhelpful) customer support person from the seller, they sent me return postage and, after I sent the bad one back, the sent a new kit. Worked and works great. NICE pictures from the camera and our aspiring photographer!

First Nikon, Very Disappointed.
This camera has some very good features. Once you get used to accessing and learning the menu, you'll be able to navigate the features more easily.I've had this camera for a couple of years now, my dissatisfaction is I've never been able to get a really good photo from this camera. I get better image quality from my phone. It's my first Nikon (I'm a Canon guy) and I guess I just expected too much from the hype associated with the brand Nikon.I rarely use the camera but pulled it out again over the weekend and I'm just soo disappointed. I know this is a super late review, but I really wanted to like this camera. This was soo NOT worth the money. It's too late, but I wish I could send it back. 1 star.
