Great naming Nikon very descriptive you should have thrown in AS for the apherical elements though that would have really capped it off and then you could have saved on paper by not even writing the specifications.\u00a0 Except I have\u00a0no idea what Lite Touch means in this context, and I’m frankly afraid to Google it.\u00a0 You can also tell this is a good camera by the gold coloured trim (sarcasm).<\/p>\n

So the lens as described has ED, (no not difficulty extending) extra low dispersion glass elements and also aspherical molded glass elements, but what this really means beyond the marketing is that the lens will tend to\u00a0have better correction for distortions.\u00a0 And I think the results bear this out, I was quite pleased with the quality of the images from this camera and its several useful controls, I particularly like the infinity focus setting.\u00a0 Of course the lens may provide decent image quality but some of that may also be the conservative nature of it’s range.\u00a0 38-120mm is neither that wide nor that long and the maximum aperatures of 5.3 to 10.5 aren’t just not fast but\u00a0are slow (yes I know I could have written that clearer but Nikon could have made the lens faster and then I wouldn’t have had too).<\/p>\n

Three\u00a0later models took the zoom out to \u00a0130,140 and 150 mm before Nikon stopped developing new point and shoot 35mm\u00a0film cameras around 2002.<\/p>\n
