'The camera offers a good range of automatic and manual
on Secure Digital cards.'
'It can also be a little tricky to operate the camera in near darkness as the mode dial is rather small and isn't mirrored on the LCD during operation.'
'The G400 is a good compromise between a simple point-and-shoot camera and one designed for advanced use--especially if you already own gadgets that use Sony Memory Sticks.'
'Build quality is quite good'
'rechargeable lithium-ion battery'
'I was not impressed with the low light focusing ability of the G400.'
'Just a cursory glance at this camera suggests there's a lot of technology that's been plundered from Nikon's current flagship compact, the Coolpix 5700.'
'Clunky, sluggish interface No AF illuminator, poor low light focusing Does not fully support Nikon Speedlites Small LCD No RAW mode yet (most of competition has it) Flimsy plastic door over CF slot No live histogram in record mode'
'Although this was slightly evident in the macro shot, Nikon still blows the competition away, capturing a tiny area of 24 x 18mm – extreme detail is clearly visible in the photo.'
'In contrast to the overall build quality of the camera, the door covering the Type II CompactFlash slot (which also handles IBM Microdrives) feels very flimsy.'
