First off, this is my opinion only as an amateur. I am strictly posting this to help guide others.
A week ago, I purchased my FX-35 through Amazon at around $320. It was an exciting moment to be getting everything is such a small package. Let me say I was very disappointed with the overall picture quality. So disappointed, I am prepared to take a 20% loss on the overall purchase because I didnt keep my original packing to an additional battery I purchased from J&R. Thats totally my fault, but should say alot about how I do not want to keep this camera!
To be upfront I own a Nikon D50 and a Nikon CoolPix5200 both are solid performers and have been happy since day one.
The FX35 camera seems constructed nicely and is perfect size for your pocket. The biggest reason for my unhappiness is that every picture I took turned out very grainy.....and I tried all the settings. Trust me I spent hours reading the manual and trying all settings - everything to avoid the trouble of a return.
For me I thought the technology had advanced with the "compact size" since my last purchase of the Nikon Cool Pix 5200 but apparently not. I am always up for comments and recommendations but for now it seems like I need to stay in the NIKON lineup.
Going to look at the Nikon P5000 tomarrow. Also I will never buy another camera without having seen it in a store and talked to someone who has worked with it. I will avoid listening to hype about a newly released camera
Thanks hope this helps!
