Nikon Coolpix S200 7.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

Really like the Nikon camera. Love the size. It fits in a shirt pocket. Real easy to use and best of all am real satisfied with quality of the photos. The video feature is also real nice and the down load of pictures to the computer is real simnple.

I bought one from Costco and already returned it after one week. 50% of the pictures taken outdoor were blurred, maybe from handshake. The VR is probably not effective per Hiram's review. Otherwise, it is pretty nice and solid camera. The video quality is pretty good. Interface is good. I just found out another colleague had bought one too and he is complaining about the blurred image issue. I am now considering the Nikon S50.

This camera is perfect for my needs. It takes good pictures and it is small enough to fit in a pocket.

I bought this camera a year ago after losing my Casio Exilim which was a great little camera for the size and price. I thought I would try a Nikon since my first "real"camera was a Nikon 35MM which took great pictures. I have been extremely disappointed in the quality of the pictures on this camera. Like other reviewers, I found them grainy, blurry and the colors are way off. I have played around with all the settings but I just can't get a decent indoor shot. Outdoor pictures are slightly better, but still not great. Also, the lag time drives me crazy - I have three young children and have missed countless shots waiting for the shutter to release. Also, the price for this is crazy! I bought it for under $200 over a year ago, so I don't know why the seller would think anyone would pay over $400 for an outdated model....

Had a perevious one liked it. It had a problem which a new battery did not cure and this was a good solution.

Take on vacation to Cabos, Mexico- EXCELLENT QUALITY, great zoom with great pictures- EXCELLENT pixel quality! Easy to use! Seems brand new, amazing refurbish! Highly recommend.

I tried to like this camera. It takes nice photos. Images are in focus and have accurate color. It's light and small enough to fit nicely in my shirt pocket. It starts and focuses quickly. It has a fair macro feature. The price is very reasonable. But after using it for a week I returned it. I won't rate the camera way down for the little disappointments it offered, as I know that what I didn't like is mostly a matter of preference, but I do want to list my considerations. The shutter and power buttons are both fairly flat and near each other on the top of the camera. When taking photos on a cold day I couldn't feel them and a couple of times turned the camera off instead of taking a shot. I don't like the zoom rocker position on the back of the camera. It forces the use of two hands to zoom in or out. It's a little awkward to use and the zoom itself is not smooth, seeming to have preset values that weren't always what I wanted. The doors for the battery/memory card and the I/O ports were both very cheap and fragile seeming. They are attached by little rubbery cords rather than hinges. I don't trust them to hold up. A couple of times between shots the screen went black and wouldn't come back on when I pressed any button. The lens was still extended so the camera hadn't powered down. I had to turn it of then on again to regain functionality. I don't know if the camera was a fault or I didn't understand it but I don't have that problem on my other two cameras or with my wife's camera. Because the camera takes nice photos and is inexpensive and light it might work well for some, but I would recommend actually handling it, trying the zoom and opening the doors before buying.

This is a great camera for the money!!!! It is powerful and lightweight. It is actually smaller than i expected and fits very easily in your pocket for easy use. I would absolutly recommend this to anyone who needs a good inexpensive camera!!!
