Nikon Coolpix 700 review

I bought this camera second-hand from Jessop's for £269.00 and going by the dpreview thought I really must have this camera!!Initially I was pleased with with the results but after some use find the picture quality is not up to what I expected.All scenery shots whether taken on autofocus or infinity mode always seem very soft,and certainly not like the ones posted on various review sites!macro and portrait shots seem ok and otherwise the camera feels good to hold and battery life is excellent, I'm just wondering why the last owner got rid of it!!

Problems:

as above
