Nikon Coolpix S3

Opinion: Impressively slim and well constructed, the Coolpix S3 is a veryu nice slim Coolpix
model using a 3x Zoom Nikkor lens that uses Extra-low Dispersion glass elements
and 6.0MP and a very vivid 2.5" LCD.

There are 13 scene modes, covering from potratit to underwater and panirama, 4 of
these have a handy selection of "assist" modes-which overlay a framing guide on
the LCD for accurate framing to get the best shot.

As usual with Coolpix models, the S3 has a great set of continoius shooting
options including Nikom's esclusive Best Shot Selector and Exposure Best Shot
Selector modes (takes 10 images then saves the sharpest one in the series) and a
time interval shooting mode.

Movie mode is a standout-upto 640x480 and even has a unique time-lapse movie
mode.

White balance options include a custom white balance setting and several preset
white balance modes.

Playback options are great too-with easy access to D-Lighting.

image quality is quite nice and very sharp.

Opinion: Great Construction, Great Quality, Great Image!

This is a great camera for both work and travelling. We use this camera for quick
comp- shots in the studio, client can preview photos on the large LCD screen for
approval. As well for quick ideas, indoors shots has been amazing, you all know how
small the actual camera is. It's credit card sized.

We give Nikon for 5/5 for quality construction and great imagery. Money well spent!

Opinion: I have had the camera for about 1 year. I am impressed with the quality of the build. I have enlarged about 5 images to 8x10 and the quality is excellent. This camera is obviously NOT a D-slr and that is great! Because of its size I take it with me everywhere and can still enjoy events without obviously being "the photographer". I have hands that are sufficiently large to hold a basketball in each of them. The camera is sufficiently well planned that using it with large hands is not a problem.

Opinion: l'appareil est très compact on peut le glissé dans une poche et est facile d'utilisation, les photos sont de bonne qualité suffit de prendre le programme approprié à la situation que l'on veut photographié.Je vous conseille d'avoir une batterie
supplémentaire 40 $,correction des yeux rouges très bien , photo avec le flash 2 personnes c'est o.k mais un grand groupe le flash manquera de puissance c'est évident ,logiciel picture projet facile a utiliser pour tranférer les photos.Une carte mémoire de 1 GIG est suffisant 338 photos.

Opinion: I only agree with Roadcruiser review. I buy this camera because it using Nikkor Lens, i try to compare with sony-T33, canon s45 or canon ixus but almost picture itake using Nikon create blur image, but if you have steady hand stick on S3 because it create image the most bight if i compare with sony t33, canon s45 and ixus. I sell s3 and change to Sony T9, for image bright still nikon S3 is better, but i think T9 much better because almost no blur image anymore. Hope Nikon could make new firmware to reduce that blur problem.

Opinion: I have been useing this camera on my round the wourld trip. So the pictures i take are of great varioty and i have to say im getting great pictures. I bought this camera to replace a Sony DSC-P10 which is a fairly good camera but to slow and bulky compared to the Nikon S3. And then there was the good pricetag on the Nikon, cheeper then the simular competitors (SD 550/Ixus 750, Sony DSC-T5, Sony DSC-T7). Im happy ;)

Opinion: The one good thing is that it is thin.

Opinion: OK, I'm a Nikon nut, I use Nikon equipment as a Pro Photographer. So of course I'm gonna go out and buy a Nikon point and shoot right...wrong. Well actually I did, but I took it back.
