Document: This camera is GREAT. I bought it to replace my 2 year old kodak easyshare M1063 because it wont hold a charge anymore!Never again will i buy Kodak!This was affordable and 1 of the only cameras i saw that had positive reviews! 4/5 Stars!Very user friendly! I charged it once i got it and its help the charge very very well!Easy to use!
I read all the reviews and bought this to replace a Casio Exilim that I had dropped. This Nikon started out with a nice picture. But after a couple months it got bad. After 6 months, I am replacing this with another brand. Shutter is so slow I can not get the kids to sit still long enough to take a picture. and when it does snap they are out of focus 50% of the time.Pros: size.Cons: Very slow shutter speed. Focus
I own the silver Nikon s3000. The camera take really great pictures and is very fast in doing so. One of the best parts of the camera is that the battery lasts for a long period of time. I have charged mine once when I bought it, and I have not charged it again since. That was three weeks ago. I use my camera almost all the time and it still says I have a full battery. This camera is defiantly worth the price.
Seeing how you need to use manual settings to take a decent picture, this is a HUGE problem.Only reason I give it two stars is because it seems well-built, battery lasts for a long time, and it IS capable of taking a good picture, but only if you're interested in still shots and you have lots of time to waste while messing with all the settings every time you'd like to take a picture.
I purposely bought this camera to make it easier for me to upload my son's pic on FB to be viewed by my family. It works just fine! Some might thought that the voice for recording is a bit slow, but once u upload it in ur PC, it will sound well. The shutter is not half bad. Well, sometimes we might missed a moment or two, but most of the time it captures the picture very well. Always fan of NIKON, and will always be!
I can put a brand new battery in, take 10-15 pictures and 2 days later, with the camera off, the battery will be exhausted and completely reset. Now if I want to use the camera I have to have a fresh battery that has not been in the camera. I also have to set the date and time every single time.
The camera worked for 3 months, though the images did not have the best color. Then the included strap broke and the camera fell barely 3 feet. This rendered it inoperable. Nikon refused to honor the warrantee, and wanted to charge the full price of the unit to repair it. Nikon said the warrantee was voided because of the impact -- even though it was their defective strap that caused the camera to fall. They even refused to replace the strap. Support personnel were rude and unresponsive.
Maybe I'm still on a learning curve, but I hate that sometimes it just won't shoot the picture. It's hard trying to get a 3 and 6 year old to stand still for 1 picture never mind the "hold on guys, just give me one more try"  and POOF their gone. Pictures from outside come out spectacular, inside with flash they look to "warm".
It's light weight, slim, fits in your pocket easily, takes OK, but not great pictures (honestly, my 2001 Kodak Easy Share, despite only being 3.1 MP, was a vastly superior camera) and it's a lot cheaper now than when I bought it, but I would not buy it again, not even for $99. In fact, I will not buy another Nikon.If you're someone who likes to tinker with shutter speed, ISO, white balance etc.
I called Nikon again and was told I would be sent an email with a prepaid shipping label so I could, once again, return the camera. Once again, 2 days have gone by yet I have not received an email. I just called Nikon and was told by the supervisor that they have to "follow proper protocol" in order to email the label and it takes 1 - 2 days.
Answer: I had a similar problem (battery wouldn't hold a charge). I purchased another replacement from Amazon and still the same problem. I sent the camera to the Nikon repair facility in Long Island NY and they sent it back in the same condition with the note that I used a non-Nikon battery. I played that game and ordered a Nikon battery, charged it up and, you guessed it, same problem. Sent it back to Nikon with the Nikon battery and got it back with the same condition. My assessment? That repair facility is staffed by idiots who are unsupervised and I purchased a Sony camera to replace the Nikon. End of story.
