"This is it you guys!"

This camera has paid for itself 20 times over and it keeps on giving! The Nikon 1574 captured the action like a pro. Some of the extra items are not useful. But I'd buy from Nikon again, so they've got that going for them. I am eventually going to get the battery grip for the body.

"Images turn out great!"

Thank you Amazon and thank you Nikon! The difference is the excellent Nikon lens. The battery that does come with the camera lasts a long time. This lens is a good complement to the existing ones I have. But that's what this entry level camera is all about.

"Doing its job."

I can see using this for years before I would feel the need to upgrade. The extra batteries don't work all that well. But, others have covered its capabilities far better than I can. However, once I saw the images files I was hooked. I love this camera a lot so far!
