I recently picked one up for $175 in the US. Fairly good results with the early test shots I have taken so far. Haven't tested out the video recording yet but that isn't what I bought the camera for. Low light performance seems good for the price point of this camera as does the panorama feature. Shoots pretty well straight out of the box which is what this kind of camera is designed to do but can get marginally better results when playing with some of the basic settings available. 3" screen is very clear and bright which compensates for the lack of a view finder. Some have complained about the plastic finish but to be honest in black it doesn't look half bad and feels fairly solid. This isn't a camera for an enthusiast but produces good results for someone wanting something better than a smartphone or compact point and shoot. I bought this as an upgrade from my Samsung Galaxy SIII smartphone and FujiFilm JV100 compact.

I bought one, but not like it.
I have problems with the video recording, the sound and the picture just does not get synchronized.
And Nikon Portugal asked to send it for repair and it came exactly the same. It was an horrible service.
