haha if you're into optical zoom then check out the Nikon Coolpix P600. 60x optical zoom, but pretty expensive. Over $300.

Hey! Thank you so much for making this video! I really love how you captured so many different scenes and angles, it really shows what the camera can do! I especially enjoyed all the zooming and was so surprised to see how far (and well) it can go! It is amazing! You seem very happy with your new (or not so new anymore:P) camera and Im happy for you! I will be buying this camera very soon and it was nice to see this review!! Thanks and have a nice day :)

I've had this camera for 3 year and I hate it because the battery get exhausted quickly. I purchased the Nikon rechargeable batteries so hopefully that will last much longer. This video makes me fall in love with this camera again. Wish me luck with the batteries.

Awsome video mate! Made me laugh so much. The way you recorded first zoom in then out slowly i was amazed and laughed and i thought it's a joke! U sold this to me!!!

best review ever!

i'm upgrading from an old 110. me and this lady at the pawn shop wanted the same camera at the same time. crazy! two 830's next to each other in the case. she got the red one i got the black one. both were 90.00 bucks! i love the tiltable screen and auto focus features or settings too. If it was more like 20mpixals or more for the same price would've been perfect.

can you hookup an external mic ?

This is such a cute review :3

Just a quick question, I've just bought this camera, partly after seeing this video and the fantastic quality! But I've been very disappointed in the zoom quality, as soon as I start to zoom the quality of the video blurs to the point of it being pointless. Is it something I'm doing wrong? Any advice?
