 Wifi Flickr Setup was painful but worth it Jul 25, 2007
By John A. Radi
"jradi"
(I gave it 4 stars because it was so hard to setup, otherwise it would have gotten 5)
I called tech support and read through every page of the manual and still couldn't figure it out - and I'm a tech guru! No one at Nikon tech support was very helpful (probably because it's still kind of new), they just kept emailing me the manuals.
Anyway, here's the mystery setup instructions:
(before anything - you need to setup a wifi connection - the nikon instructions are fine for this part. either use a publicly available hotspot or your home wireless router, plug in the password if there is one)
1. In the camera, setup your alias and email address. It's hard to figure out which character is the period (it looks like a comma rather than a dot midway up).
2. Take a photo and send it to anyone - preferably yourself.
3. Not only should you receive a copy of the photo to your email account, but Nikon Connect2 service will send you a series of email messages with the instructions to register for the connect 2 service. Without registering, all the other wifi features won't work
NOTE - if you don't get the series of email instructions but you do get the photo, then you entered the sender's address incorrectly but entered the recipient address correctly.
If you don't get any emails - then both addresses are incorrect.
4. Follow the instruction to setup the connect2 service. Without doing this, you can't link to your flickr account and you can't get access to the other connect2 features.
5. Once you've setup the connect2 account, login and you'll see the photo you just sent. Select it and click the flickr button. A pop-up window will appear and ask you for permission to link to your flickr account.
If you don't have a flickr account - I think you will be prompted to create one. After you've created the flickr account, login to the flickr account in a separate explorer window or firefox tab. Then go back to the connect2 website (in the previous window/tab) and click the flickr button again.
A popup window will ask you for permission to link your connect2 account to flickr. After you authorize it, your camera is now registered with your flickr account.
6. Now, from the camera, take a photo. Upload the photo to the email address "flickr" and it will automatically go to the connect2 website and be transfered to flickr.
Not so hard, right? Yeah right.
Actually, my hang up was that I didn't realize that i had typed in my senders email incorrectly so I never got the further instruction for registering the connect2 website. Nothing in the manual or supplemental manuals (there are 3 total) explained that the last bit of instructions would come via email. Not even the Nikon technical support website or FAQ's explained that there was a huge chunk of instructions missing - pending the receipt of the email notifications...
Anyway, I hope I saved someone some grief. Enjoy your new camera!

 Nikon quality with WiFi Jul 29, 2007
By Joey D SC
"JD So Cal"
Great size and awesome pic quality for the price. The WiFi was a snap to set up and is great. You would be surprised how many places now have free WiFi. I was at a restaurant taking pictures and found they had it. Sent the pics to my girlfriend on the spot. Very nifty feature that alone is worth the price.
Nice large 3" screen is very bright and clear. Controls are easy to use and the camera is so thin and light fits easy in your pocket.
You wont be sorry if you pick one up and Amazon has the best price. Best Buy and CC were sold out.

Almost perfect! Nov 10, 2007
By L. Olson
I'd love to give this camera a 5-star, but just can't quite yet. So the best I can do is a 4.5. I won't extol on all the great features, because everybody else does such a great job. Instead, let me just point out a couple of minor inconveniences, at least for me.
I would like to see the on/off button recessed a little more. I find myself accidently turning it on whenever I'm handling it (maybe it's just my big hands). Also, in the form fitting Coolpix case designed for it, the case itself is tight against the on/off button, also turning it on. I pulled it out one time just to see the unit already turned on, with an exhausted battery warning on the screen. The camera was quite warm. I've since switched to a generic case.
The camera feels slippery in my hands. I think a finely brushed look would be nice. That would give a little more secure feeling while still keeping it's good looks.
One of the major selling points for me was the WI-FI feature. But then that's my fault for not reading the reviews, or I would have seen that it will not connect to the PC via WI-FI, which is why I bought it. Maybe some day a firmware upgrade will change this.
The battery/SD card cover is very flimsy, at best. Be very careful when opening, and especially closing, as it can close crookedly. It has a high chance of breaking off.
All this being said, I still think this is a great camera, and not once have I thought of returning it.

Fantastic little camera. So small it fits in my change purse! Great photos.Lots of information on how to use the camera in the booklet included.Took action photos at a polo match and "caught" a galloping horse in the air! I am very pleased with this product!

Amazed! Sep 25, 2007
By L. Miller
This camera is the best bang for you buck, and for the so-called "tech" who had problems setting this camera up - its just nonsense. This camera couldn't be easier to setup and operate. Everyone should own this camera.
