Answer by Couth
Yes it is a fantastic camera! I have owned one for a while and absolutely like it! It is very compact which is fantastic, and it is very simple to transfer the pictures onto the computer. I thought it was better and simpler to use than any other camera i have ever owned! I really suggest this camera for you to buy, and all of its features were fantastic for the price I paid. Overall a excellent consideration for a new camera, the pictures were very high quality in addition to a high range of zoom. It was also very quick.

or if you want excellent zoom I would recommend Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS1 10MP with 12x Wide Angle MEGA Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD.Excellent camera,excellent zoom and take excellent pictures

My father’s camera.

孫が出来たことに大喜びで、
まったくのアナログ人間だった父がデジカメを購入（笑）。

広角28mm＆光学4倍ズーム（112mm相当）搭載。
とにかく起動が速い。僅か0.7秒で起動。
マクロも3cmまで接写可能。
使い勝手も良いし、なによりも質感が良い。
・・・今度、借りようっと。(・∀・)

Or does it just take pictures? And if it does, the videos can be taken for as long as the memory available right?

Answer by fhotoace
Yes.

I take it you have not visited the Nikon site to check all this out for yourself nor have you looked on dpreview.
