Is the Nikon COOLPIX A1000 worth buying used?

What owners like
Nikon COOLPIX A1000 works best when you want simple snapshots, direct flash, and the relaxed character people look for in older digital compacts rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its 1/2.3-inch CMOS and 24-840mm equivalent, f/3.4-6.9, 35x optical zoom are the main character of the look.
Common complaints
Check the lens movement, flash, screen, buttons, and card door calmly before relying on it; older compact bodies can need a little patience without being a bad buy.
What to compare
Compare it with Nikon COOLPIX W150, Nikon COOLPIX W300, Nikon COOLPIX A10, Nikon Coolpix S33 to decide whether you want this exact body, a cheaper nearby compact, or a slightly more capable alternative.
