Nikon Press release<\/strong> ‘This camera is targeted at those looking for a lens-shutter camera with a wide-angle zoom lens, as well as those who want to be able to take pictures easily virtually anytime, anywhere.’<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks Nikon just what I was looking for a camera with a lens and a shutter because the pinhole coffee tin I was using everywhere all the time just wasn’t cutting it.\u00a0 After all the marketing drivel what you have left is a plastic camera with a 28-70mm\u00a0f5.6-10 lens.\u00a0 Its nothing to write home about or Snapchat\u00a0about as the kids say.\u00a0 ( If your reading this past 2015, Snapchat\u00a0was a photo messaging service where the message disappears after a period of time I’m sure something else has come along to replace it by now)\u00a0 Back to the camera,\u00a0 as much as I wanted to like this camera because\u00a0of the 28mm wide end it just isn’t that good and 5.6 as a maximum aperture at 28mm is pretty slow.\u00a0 It’s because of cameras like this that we shoot digital today.<\/p>\n

I will cut the camera a little slack as\u00a0I always seem to do.\u00a0 The film I used was 400 speed drugstore film that I got from a sandwich bag at a thrift store so there is always hope for a better tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
