as a beginner I can't imagine a better camera, it's a leap of semi-professional cameras. however the focus isn't fast and can't operate correctly over all the modes. it is not a tripod standard size camera although it needs one. great features with poor accessibility.

Not user-friendly, but a good camera
Don't go without an extra battery; it takes a while to recharge; they should have used AA batteries instead of the expensive one they put in ($40 at BestBuy); should have some internal memory beyond the SD card.
Pros:
- Good Image Quality
- Good Image Stabilization
- Good in Low Light
- Great Zoom
- Large Clear LCD
- Nice Body Color
Cons:
- Not user-friendly
- Short Battery Life

Nikon enhanced its high-end ultrazoom with a new sensor, 1080p video, high-speed burst rate shooting and a higher-res articulated LCD, but image quality doesn't match the competition.
