  What a deal!
  
  I was in need of a digital camera for an upcoming trip to New York. I knew I wanted a point and shoot camera that was small and easy to carry. After doing some research and reading many reviews I decided on the Nikon Coolpix S6000. I took the camera for a test run on a short weekend trip. It took amazingly clear and beautiful pictures. My friends who were with me even commented on how impressed they were with the pictures. A quick glance through the manual and your ready to point and shoot. The battery had a long life ( you still will want to purchase an extra battery with a charger )and it has many shooting options. Only has 7X optical zoom but that is plenty for me. Needless to say, I am very happy with this product and would recommed it.

  This is a great camera. It can be totaly automatic or manual on the setting. Clear pictures with no noise. I am having trouble with the macro setting. I like taking close up nature pictures. I'll have to keep playing to get it right.
  Overall , great camera, great quality.

  This is a great little feature loaded camera. It takes good quality pictures and videos. I have several larger cameras but they are cumbersome to carry around or travel with. This is a perfect size for the pocket, purse, or carry on luggage. I'm very, very pleased with the performance of this camera.

  I bought this camera before my 2 week trip to Italy. My previous camera was a 2002 Nikon Coolpix 3500 which I liked but was outdated. This camera is a big improvement. And I used the video feature while on a boat along the Cinque Terre coast! It did a great job and I have a nice memory of that beautiful coast line.
  The only thing I don't like is that it makes you charge the battery inside of the camera. But I only had to recharge the camera twice in 2 weeks and took almost 400 pictures and videos. So very happy with the battery power.
  
  This camera is much lighter than my old camera and I love that. Very easy to handle and learn how to use; menus are intuitive. New features for me that I really like is the panorama shots and the auto selector. Didn't have these on the 3500.
  
  Overall I love this camera but then I'm not looking for SLR quality. My main use is for travel photos.

  Always Canon...First Nikon
  
  Sorry, but this'll be brief. I decided to try a Nikon after many, many years of Canon usage (still have several). This Nikon S6000 seemed like a lot of bang for the buck. My impressions so far:
  
  Pro's: Great pics, small size, easy to use, great macro, automatic scene selection, good focal length
  
  Con's: Power button too small, takes WAY too long to zoom after turning on, zoom is in large jerky steps so it's hard to find that "right" framing, poor battery/SD cover design - have to latch the door all the time (not spring loaded), flash use not always predictable in certain light.
  
  Would I buy it again? Probably not...YMMV

Pictures not so cool

Coolpix S70 takes good pictures under normal light without flash. Takes good pictures indoors with dim light without flash. But using flash indoors results in too white (washed) picture. Design, construction and most features are excellent. But I didn't like the feature that uses only Nikon Transfer or ViewNX to transfer pictures to computer. I wish there is a way to transfer photos to PC with just a USB cable and put the pictures in any folder you want. Coolpix limits you to ViewNX only.

Nikon is a necessity to create NIFTY Photos!



My new Coolpix S70 is great and performs flawlessly to my own abilities. My only request would be an instructional video /DVD to achieve all the capabilities included in this tiny package. I initially purchased this camera with thoughts of the S70 allowing my sweetheart, a C6 Quadriplegic to take photos because of the touch screen command interface. Eureka! It works for her. We are both very happy with that capability. Just learning to operate the S70 now, so I will discover more features as I add skills. Great Product. Nikon Glass is the best. The size of camera should lend itself to "Stealh" photo opportunities.

What happened?!

I have been a coolpix fan for years. However, my last two attempts to upgrade from my S51 have been incredibly disappointing. This is a nice little camera with a great interface, but the picture quality is really bad. I had the same experience with the S60. In both cases, I took pictures with the new coolpix and with my S51, and then compared them on the computer to be sure all the photo settings were exactly the same. The difference in photo quality is undeniable. The S70 is getting returned.

Note: For some reason, Amazon is listing different reviews for the different colors of this camera. The version in red has the most reviews. Be sure to check there for more consumer opinions.

  Cute, Portable, and Easy to Use!!
  
  What a joy to find a camera that is so small that it fits in your pocket or pocketbook but takes great pictures! It is so easy to connect to charge the battery by simply plugging in a power cord. Comes with a USB connector cord for downloading pictures making it a breeze! I love how easy it is to program this camera - simple instructions and easy to understand icons to remind you of what to do.

  i purchased this camera in December. After 5 months of using it, here's what I got to say about it. The video quality is
  horrible on this thing. When you take pictures you see some little dots ( i don't know how to explain it) on the screen. I also have a Casio Exlim and I guarantee the picture and video quality is a thousand times better. This is by far the worst camera I've ever seen.

  Utterly disappointed!!!
  
  I didn't buy this camera (Nikon S220) from amazon, I bought it from target. That doesn't change the FACT that this camera is a horrible camera! I returned it!
  
  Yes, it is portable but that is possibly the only thing that would be considered okay with the camera. It takes extremely GRAINY pictures! The auto did more harm than good, and when I would try to set the mode it didn't help either. It took the camera pretty long to focus also. When lighting in a room or outside was even a little bit dark(or only one light was on in the whole room)the picture would come out yellow. Sunsets/nature pictures are out of the question with this camera
  
  The main thing that really got me was how GRAINY the photos were! I have never seen such down right BAD picture quality all around! I had wanted a Nikon camera for along time, not anymore.
  
  I wouldn't recommend this camera for anyone!!
  I now own a Cannon PowerShot SD780 IS, BEST camera I've seen! Takes AMAZING pictures, portable, easy to use, CHECK IT OUT!

  Initial Happiness followed by disappointment
  
  I am brand new to photography, so I wanted an inexpensive, simple, point and shoot camera that gives good quality pictures. I thought I'd found it with the Nikon Coolpix -- my daughter took our first one to Australia and loved it, so I bought one for myself. I am very happy with the picture quality. I found the controls less than intuitive, though, and I don't know how to do all that I want to do with the camera or all that it's capable of doing. I suppose a more experienced photographer would suss it out without thinking, but then, an experienced photographer is probably not buying a starter camera like this.
  
  I am profoundly disappointed that after a mere four months the screen's gone blank. It still takes pictures -- but nothing shows in the screen. I can't see what I'm framing, I can't see the shot after I've taken it, I can't review the shots. The screen is either blank white or sometimes a flickering grayscale. A search of the web has not turned up any information about dead screens that I can find. I really think the lifespan of an inexpensive camera ought to be more than four months.
  
  There is no visible damage to the screen, so no obvious explanation for why the screen doesn't work. The camera has never gotten wet -- and I checked to make certain it was water-resistant before buying it. The worst thing that's ever happened to it was being used to shoot pictures in fog and high humidity (a frequent occurrence while at sea, or ashore).

Shopped forever and made the wrong choice

Well I got caught up in the internet hype of "researching" a digital camera before I bought it. Well....... it didn't work. I purchased this for christmas for myself after reading numerous reviews and it is less than I expected. I think I just got too caught up in saving $10 or $20 and it backfired. I don't plan on buying a camera every year or two and I wanted a simple to use, good quality picture taking camera. Don't get me wrong this is a good camera but the problems are the bad quality of the inside pictures and the lack of a good zoom. Even though it has a zoom it is not very useful and the picture quality is grainy and dark. This goes ditto for the inside pictures. Dark and "shadowy" (if thats a word). I am not happy and I would love to return it but I took long testing it and I am stuck. Hope this helps...

Skip this camera

We bought this camera to replace a less-than half as expensive one that our two-year-old slammed to the ground in a tantrum. In hindsight, I wish we had re-bought that one.
The "Auto" setting is guaranteed to produce blurry, yellow pictures in anything other than incandescent or natural light. If you have good lighting, then you get blurry pictures with vivid color. If you tinker with the manual settings, you can get a picture in non-natural lighting that is nice, but if you forget to change it in other settings, I.E. you're chasing your toddler inside and outside, then it wrecks all your other pictures. This completely defeats both the purpose of "auto" and the fact that we elected to spend extra on the camera because we're not professional photographers and don't want to be. If fluorescent bulbs were a concept invented last week then I'd be more forgiving, but come on Nikon, they have been around for a very long time, learn to deal with them already.
I'm not sure why the pictures are blurry, but it seems all the fancy steadying tech supposedly in this camera is junk. My 2-year-old $120 camera didn't have any of it and those pictures are much sharper (and properly white-balanced in "auto").
Having spent more on this camera than on any camera prior and not being the sort of folks that just have $250 to burn, we were extremely cautious with it. After getting about 300 pictures on it, the shutter button is permanently stuck in the halfway point. If we really smash the button in all directions, it will eventually take a picture, but the effort in doing so results in even blurrier pictures than normal. I was tempted to hold off on the review until I found out how Nikon intends to treat us in the warranty department, but I'm assuming I'll at least have to pay shipping charges, and I'm not certain I want to spend even more money risking the possibility of bad customer service on a product I'm already experiencing serious buyer's remorse over.
The battery pack is bittersweet. It lasts a pretty long time compared to the regular AAs from our last camera, but you can pick up AAs anywhere and they're comparatively cheap. For this, you either need to shell out a not insignificant chunk of change on a spare battery or take no pictures while the one you've got charges up. Overall, I think I'd rather have AAs than a battery pack, but I imagine that's personal preference.
It is compact. However, so are most of the rocks my daughter picks up, and those are equally functional to this camera, less frustrating to operate, and free.

Overall, buying this is an expensive way to get a cheap camera. I'm hoping I can find the box to the camera my daughter broke so we can go back to that brand.

Poor picture quality

I was so excited to have a nice camera that would fit in my purse. I have a really great larger one but hardly ever take it because I don't like hauling it around. So Nikon has a great reputation, right? With 12.2 mp this camera should produce awesome pictures...but it doesn't! It has some very impressive pre-sets, the pics all looked blurry and yellow. So I went back to basics and just used the auto setting...still yellow and a lot are still blurry. I didn't spend enough time with it when I first got it and by the time I discovered I hated it, I was past my 30 day return time. I'm stuck with it so I hope I can figure out how to make it work better for me.

Great camera when new, deteriorates with time

When I first got this camera is was great. It had really fast load time and it was very easy to use. But after having it for about 6 months the zoom button has started to stick, making it difficult to zoom in to a point where you want to take the picture. If I had known this in the past, I would not have bought the camera.

Bulky and poorly constructed

Whilst this camera takes fairly nice photos, it's very slow to focus. I've missed a few key photos while waiting for the camera to be ready to shoot.

Additionally, I noticed a few months after I got it that the small screws on both sides of the camera had fallen out. One day the side panel just fell off. I have yet to be able to get this fixed but I imagine that a Nikon store should be able to help.

For me, the camera is too bulky to carry around in a small purse but it takes good pictures.

Don't Drop It!

I dropped this camera only once, and it fell only about three feet (it was in my hand and my arm was down). Even though it was only two months old at the time, that fall was enough to dent the lens. I brought it in to an authorized Nikon repair center to be repaired and the estimate was $209.00, more than what it would cost to buy a brand new one! Needless to say, I didn't pay for the repair, and I won't be buying a replacement. This whole experiences has left me extremely disappointed with the quality of Nikon cameras. I know it was my fault that I dropped it, but I would expect that a camera such as this could at least withstand one small fall without requiring repairs this expensive! One three foot fall = $209.00!

Nifty Nikon

This is one nifty little camera. Since I'm not a techie, but I do compose my pictures pretty well, I have an appreciation and desire for more than a drugstore camera.

The Nikon S550 takes a crisp picture. When compared with the shots of someone using a professional camera, this one held its own--even taking portrait-style close-ups. One of the features I find useful is that even if your hand moves, the camera has the ability to stabilize the image.

I used my camera extensively while shopping for and remodeling our home. I was able to capture the items, their exact colors, and was so on-target that, our decorator was amazed at the accuracy. Even the individual colors of the wool and silk in oriental rugs were quite visible.

When taking photos of our belongings (we live in a hurricane-prone area)both the short and long-range pictures were of very good quality.

PROS:
* Ease-of-Use
* Thin
* Lightweight
* Accurate color
* Excellent even at long-distance shots
* Superb value for the price
* Can take videos
* Recharges quickly

CONS:
* Does not have a number indicator to quickly find a previously taken picture


Even my dad, who is accustomed to expensive cameras with assorted lenses is impressed with this little camera. He intends to buy one, too!

I've had this camera for slightly over one year, and it worked perfectly up until this past week. The flash doesn't work, and now the camera isn't being recognized on my computer, so I can't upload photos. I thought Nikon was a good brand, but apparently the camera breaks as soon as your warranty expires. Two thumbs down.

Great Full-featured camera

Does everything you want and it does it well. Nice photo camera and does a decent video with sound also. Long lasting rechargeable battery and EZ to use.
It makes a Panarama shot, too! Also records AUDIO ONLY.
Get at least a 1 GIG card with it so you have plenty of room for your pics and videos.
Small enough to carry around in your purse, unless you're a man and you might not be in the habit of walking around with a purse. But, if you ARE a MAN if you want to carry a purse; that's your own business; not mine. the point is: IT'S A GREAT CAMERA!
I got the pink one. NIKON calls it "Plum". It's really more like PINK. Nobody will steal a man's PINK Camera!
