arshad's Full Review: Nikon COOLPIX SQ Digital Camera
I love Nikon cameras, or at least I used to, since I got my first Coolpix 950. The image quality blew other cameras away, the camera was super-durable, and the swivel - well, once you get used to it, you can't live without it.
now that I can never buy another digital camera without a swivel, I was very, very excited about the SQ - it was cute, and tiny! And it addressed some of my other concerns - like it could record movies.
However, I got it, and sold it on eBay within a couple of weeks. The image quality was surprisingly poor - there was a lot of noise in the pictures (especially in low light). The focus assist light blinded all of my subjects, so I'd get pictures of people cowering in fear. I called Nikon, they claimed ignorance, and told me to return it.
I used to trust that anything Nikon I bought was synonymous with good quality, now I'm going to doubt it forever.
