Since the reviews were very encouraging I decided to buy it as on diwali it was just 11500 with a cashback of 15% after 3 months
My main motive was to buy an inexpensive point and shoot camera that could record video in full HD ie 1920x 1080 p
I was pleasantly surprised to find I was also gifted a provogue watch as a part of the festive offer .
Other accessories included apart from the main camera were 2 camera straps, 8 AA batteries, 4 of them being rechargeable coolpix batteries and rest 4 duracell for one time use .
The 16 megapixel camera did a decent jobs with half of the pics I clicked but the rest half did not focus well .
My main purpose to buy the camera was to capture videos for my Youtube channel, but the videos are too fuzzy and grainy under normal indoor lighting . Even the colours came out duller I thought .
The objects frequently lose focus . especially when one uses the zoom feature, the camera has 38x optical zoom btw .
Allow me the liberty to attach a couple of pics . Infact I tried and failed, I guess it’s because of mouth shuts size to upload restriction .
You may also watch the full hd video capture in a youtube video for my channel - with a video titled - " Does incredio shake-a-meal actually work? Thoughts after finishing 2 500gms Jars"
I also found that it was very difficult to close the battery compartment and a lot of pressure had to be used . Every time I felt I would end up breaking the compartment .
To transfer pics I had always open the battery chamber and remove the lexion SDHC 8 GB card which was also a freebie . Again to charge the batteries I had to remove the batteries physically and use the charger that was a part of the package .
With a full charge the no of pics that can be clicked are about 500- 700 and the maximum size for the video recording is 30 minutes .
The video recording is full hd at 25/ 30 fps
The zoom feature works well but the auto focus while zooming can be either too slow or doesn’t work at all .
The camera’s anti shake feature is very ordinary and a tripod seems like a "must " .
Bundled with the camera also came a micro hdmi cable / an AV cable and / usb to micro usb cable .
the camera is quite heavy and made my arms very tired in no time . It’s quite bulky and the portability is poor . The 3 inch screen is retractable and can be titled or set at angles .
The menu options are very simple and uncomplicated . The audio captured has a bigger than expected bass and its irritating as there is a loss to the audio quality . The audio kind of booms and isn’t clear .
The camera has wifi and NFC features which come to save its narrow neck . The overall experience was average and I would be returning it back to amazon India tomorrow, a request to do so was created earlier .
since my main purpose was full hd recording which was only a tad better than my mobile phone I can only rate the camera 2 upon 5
