I needed to replace a much-loved, damaged Nikon Coolpix. I especially did not want a model with an external zoom lens. from Amazon.com I got this camera about two months ago after I had gave up on my nikon d80. I needed a camera thats was more on my level but delievered good performance. from Amazon.com First the plus side: The camera is slim, lightweight, well constructed flash guide is good too, but not as good as the s50 for some reason, large LCD screen is top notch. from Amazon.com While traveling in Italy... I dropped my 6 month old Coolpix S51. I shopped around looking for a replacement, but all the newest models only had 2.5" screens...and since there is no viewfinder I really missed the 3 inch screen of my first S51. from Amazon.com Got this camera for my parents. Over all I was very impressed with its low light capability, it did an amazing job considering its a pocket camera. The camera starts up very fast, but forces the user to wait for 5-8 seconds before it can be used. This does not sound like a long time, but its forever when your trying to take a quick photo. from Amazon.com This is a great camera! A lot of people will compare it aganist a DSLR which isnt fair. Its a great point and shoot camera which is why its so popular. The build quality is fine but its not completely metal as advertised elsewhere. from Amazon.com Admittedly the camera arrive broken (with some piece rattling arround inside) and was returned for refund. I didn't want a replacement because the camera felt like a plastic toy. from Amazon.com Nikon Coolpix S210 8MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Plum)Camera came in good time frame. Was very disappointed that code for free battery didn't allow battery on check-out. from Amazon.com I researched long and hard for a new camera after the disappointment with my Samsung NV3. It had the worst "orbs" imaginable and never took a decent shot at night. from Amazon.com I bought this camera for my wife as a graduation present. I normally shoot with a Nikon D70 and I really prefer to look through a lens to frame my shot then with my arms extended looking at a LCD display. However this has a BIG 3 inch display and optical image stabilization, which is much better then electronic. from Amazon.com
