This is a great camera for the price but it has a serious flaw. The LCD screen is very fragile. Mine cracked five days after purchase (Target Stores USA). I was able to exchange it but it cracked again a month later. Over the last eight years I've owned three other digital cameras and never encountered this problem. Nikon needs to put a hard plastic cover over the glass screen to protect it from cracking and breaking.
This really is a shame because the camera takes great images and VGA video. Not to mention the attractive price.
