Opinion: Excellent macro. I love the ability to adjust the white balance. Very solid feel. Love the accessories, esp. the fisheye lens and able to sync out to external flash.

Problems: Limited availability of acessories. Nikon should have printed the manual in black and white rather than include it on CD-ROM. Flash is a bit overpowered.

Opinion: The Nikon CP 950 sets the standard for present state of the art digital photography for cameras in a reasonable price range. As someone who has come up through the ranks in the past seven years with digital cameras, the 950 is clearly a revelation. Minor problems such as the memory card door and minor barrel distortion certainly do not detract from the incredible resolution and versatility of this significant advancement in digital photography.
