bfaddict1977 Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 I was wondering the $99 nikon camera with 15x zoom. Is that worth it? Can I possibly buy it online on bf? I'm going to walmart at 9 for the 10 pm sale and thinking I'll head there but will get there right at midnight. Will that camera go fast you think or do I have a shot of just walking in there and buying it? Thanks.
gatorburg Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 For $99 I would buy it cause it is a Nikon. It looks to be a good one. It is way better then that Kodak that Walmart is going to have on sale for BF.
daftande Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Its great but not super portable, ie pocket sized.
freesia39 Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 I can't find anything about this camera online. I looked on the Nikon site, and it's not there. The closest may be the L100, which is an older camera. It is not pocket sized. But at "50%" off, it might go fast by people swayed by the discount, the amount of optical zoom, and the fact that it's a Nikon (a real camera!)
lamb616 Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 i searched and searched and also couldn't find anything online about it.
ISU ME Posted November 12, 2011 Posted November 12, 2011 I have the L100 and love it, so if its anything like that one its a great deal!
mrmogway Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 does it have a removable lens? manual settings? i.e. f-stop, film speed, exposure etc.
bfaddict1977 Posted November 13, 2011 Author Posted November 13, 2011 I'm debating between that one and th 160 Walmart one I wish we knew more
freesia39 Posted November 13, 2011 Posted November 13, 2011 If those are your choices, I'd get the Nikon. It's more of a proven brand. Never really been a fan of Fujifilm. The closest model I can see of the Fujifilm is the FinePix3200. They're both 14mp, 24x zoom, and 720p HD video recording.
bfaddict1977 Posted November 13, 2011 Author Posted November 13, 2011 I've had Fujisawa and they'd always worked well in the past but they break easily if dropped. Do you think target will have many in stock. Like If I went there at 1 am MIght they be all sold out

Like If I went there at 1 am MIght they be all sold outI really have no idea about stocking. If you get to the store at 1am, it really depends on your area and how crazy it gets on BF. If you REALLY want it and that's your goal item on BF, then get there earlier to make sure you get the item.
Jen8112 Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 I hope this will be available online. I'm not sure I can make it to Target after Walmart in time. I really want it. Even if it ends out not being great I can return it.
MITTENS05 Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Couldn't you just buy now and Price adjust Friday?
bfaddict1977 Posted November 17, 2011 Author Posted November 17, 2011 to my knowledge no store price adjusts during bf sales
Jen8112 Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 to my knowledge no store price adjusts during bf salesThey used to. Especially Target. Don't know if they will this year.
Promom Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 Has anyone talked to the managers about bf price adjustments? I plan on going tomorrow and asking and hopefully picking up a few items to get price adjusted.
Promom Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 I just got back from Target and talked to someone in returns. She said that yes they would price adjust on bf. So I got my two items. If they don't price adjust, no biggie. I'll just return the items.
bfaddict1977 Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 JUST FYI I went to target today and saw the $99 camera, which is currently $199. It is NOT great. It takes 4AA batteries so no recharging and also is very big and bulky. Not great shutter speed. I'm going to try for the sony at walmart for $129.
Rose0426 Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 Saw it at Target today, and I thought it looked pretty good. Website has specs on it now. http://www.target.com/p/Nikon-L105-12-1-MP-Digital-Camera-with-15x-Optical-Zoom-Black/-/A-13774068I actually like that it takes batteries. I don't take that many pictures, but I would rather take an extra pack of batteries with me than buy an extra lithium battery.Salesman checked and they had 122 in the store.

They work very well.
chr05angel Posted November 20, 2011 Posted November 20, 2011 With the link up...do you tnk it will be online for 99? Thurs or fri?
bugglebum Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 It's $99 online now!Thanx for the heads-up, got it!
Svuroo Posted November 25, 2011 Posted November 25, 2011 For anyone still thinking about it, I just got back from Target and I think my store had over 100 of them! There were tons still on the shelf and I was not exactly at the front of the line. With the supply still left, they may still have some tomorrow.
Jen8112 Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 I got one, returned it. Not a good camera. I ordered the $99 Sony online from Walmart. Hopefully that one is better. :)
Promom Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 So how did everyone make out at Target price adjusting on bf? I had no problem getting a price adjustment.
tinkrbel Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 So how did everyone make out at Target price adjusting on bf? I had no problem getting a price adjustment.I'm not even going to bother. I was able to purchase what I wanted online and will just return the one I bought in store once it arrives.
