Feels solid in the hand, very fluid burst sequence, great with light metering and so convenient with the 14-50mm lens that effectively can be the only lens you will need - don't get me wrong though, I am eagerly awaiting the release of the 28-300 mm telephoto zoom lens in November 2007. I sold my $5000. Nikon D100 system for this unit and I have not regretted that decision for a minute. the convenience of having this quality optics all bundled into a camera bag that is 0.5 square feet in volume. from Adorama.com I've had some really great results with this camera. This is my second Nikon Coolpix camera and I... from Cnet.com Versitile Handles 8gb SD cards Better than not having a camera but a full size Canon ESO or Nikon D80 are the way to go for real picture quality in fast bumpy conditions like wakeboarding. Con: from Amazon.com While it is small and fits nicely in my purse, I have yet to get one nice photo out of it. I consistenly get blurry pictures and all the lower light shots have subject who have these bright white eyes that can not be photo shopped out. I sent it back to Nikon who "repaired" it for free, however the repair did nothing. I have had my pictures from several imporatant occasions ruined by this camera and am planning to trade it in for anthother Canon soon. from Amazon.com I had a Minolta DimageX that died after several years of abuse and great photo's. So looking for a new camera I selected the s7c to use as my next pocket camera based on all great early reviews from the photos sites. I should have waited for user reviews, I hate this camera and the night pictures are bad. from Amazon.com I've bought like 3 or 4 Nikon Coolpix S7c, and i've seen the camara has a good funtion but after use for sometime appear on the screen a little point like a lens scratch, this point no is a lcd dead pixel, is a problem on the lens, no is a significative problem, but exist. from Amazon.com I've always been high on Nikon products but can't stand this unit. Yes it takes fair photos and has all the flexibility anyone can expect in a camera. from Amazon.com I have been searching reviews of the Nikon coolpix s7c to make sure that it wasnt just me - and I am finding that indeed countless other reviewers are having the same problem, and many have taken it up with Nikon only to be told 'sorry'. In a nutshell, I am a professional photographer and have owned about a dozen digital cameras ranging from the early elph to nice new SLR models. from Amazon.com I have been searching reviews of the Nikon coolpix s7c to make sure that it wasnt just me - and I am finding that indeed countless other reviewers are having the same problem, and many have taken it up with Nikon only to be told 'sorry'.

The little lens just doesn't capture light very well. 3: wifi - it requires the Nikon software to work, which doesn't work on my iBook. 4: The dock - sucks. from Newegg.com
