For the money, this camera has all the basic features you need, delivers them well, and is built with a satisfying weight to it; Having read widely on different product review sites, I can only agree that this is a very capable and competent entry-level bridge camera - certainly better than it's low...
This model still uses a plastic a screw thread for tripod mounts; which isn't ideal; as the plastic thread can fracture the body casing if any strain is put on it (which happened with our previous model camera; the Coolpix L810; which this replaces).
