Editorial Review :

The COOLPIX P3 is a high performance camera that is designed to help you take pictures in demanding situations. Advanced features such as 11 point wide-area Auto Focus combine with an 8.1 megapixel resolution, a 3.5x optical Zoom-Nikkor lens and the latest Wi-Fi capability - technology that enables you to transfer your pictures directly to your computer or a compatible printer without the need for wires and cables. The Optical Vibration Reduction system (VR), an innovation derived from Nikon's combined experience in nano-technology and professional photography, alleviates the effects of camera shake caused by slight hand movements. This exciting new system ensures image stability when taking pictures or shooting movies.

no zoom

This camera takes wonderful pictures but the zoom doesn't do the job. its no good for taking pictures of your child playing football but its great for pictures on a trip. be careful the lag between pushing the shutter and taking the picture is long as well as the time between pics at high quality.

a step up from the tiny point-and-shoot

this is the first serious digital camera i got, and i've been pretty hapy with it. great macro, decent zoom, and fair response time. the other complaints you hear, including how it chews batteries and the like, are generally true. still, given a pocket full of batteries, i'd take this with me when i go places.

my biggest complaint is the size, it doesn't travel super well (i like to keep my hands free, i'm forgetful and often misplace things). i like to stick my camera in my pocket, and it just doesn't fit.

still, its plusses make it a decent camera. i'd check out some of the newer coolpix cameras if you were buying new and had the budget for it, they're a great line.

Decent camera...that's about it

I bought one of these when they came out. The first problem was the batteries. It ate them like no tomorrow. I ordered two sets of rechargeables and that fixed that. Then I bought a card reader to transfer pictures, and that really helped...until...I accidentally dropped it (not that hard) and it broke. ... It worked fine when I got it back.

My other problem is the fragility of it. It's extremely fragile. I like the camera but would not purchase it again because of this.

2.1mp that won't disappoint

Amazing,this was an expensive high quality camera just under Nikon's best 950 digital back in 1999! However,this Nikon 800 still takes pictures that will match or exceed the best cameras in the market today thanks to its original build quality internals which were not skimped on plus the all glass 2x optical zoom (38 to 76mm equivalent)f/3.5-4.8 Nikkor lens. ..it's virtually a steal at todays price and nothing today takes better pictures in it's class. Oh,did I mention it fits in pocket like a hand. :)

Great Camera !!

I have been using this camera for about two years now. It takes great pictures and I have taken hundreds of pictures of my Grandchildren and made slideshows on Cds for them. I would absolutely buy this camera again. (I dont like the loose lens cap but I would not deduct a point for that.)

Take advantage of touch-screen technology. The Nikon Coolpix S60 has a 3.5-inch High Resolution TOUCH PANEL LCD, which offers 160º Wide-Angle of View. You'll get easy access to all the camera controls without the conventional buttons to push. You can write a personal message on your photos with the included stylus. Its Touch Autofocus and Auto Exposure lets you touch the subject on the screen that you want to focus on and the camera automatically adjusts for sharp focus and optimal exposure.

Bad picture quality

We have been very disappointed with this camera. We have always had a Cannon but decided to go with Nikon's new product. With 10 megapixels you'd expect a picture to be crystal clear, but our old Cannon was 7 MP and took better photos on a lower setting than this does on it's highest. Also, the touch-screen, which we thought was a great selling point, is very frustrating to use. I would especially not recommend it for older people, just to zoom in and out with the touch screen vs. actual buttons is much more difficult that you'd think. Overall we could not recommend anyone to buy this product.

Does more than I thought

Purchased this camera for my 15 year old daughter and she just loves it. Great for teenagers. Has a lot more features than I thought it did, takes great photos.

Mostly Satisfied

I thought the zoom would be better and the camera itself really has no memory so you should get a memory card when you get the camera.

Great product, lots of fun and easy

I'm still learning all the features, but so far I've been very pleased with this camera. Picture quality is great. All pictures come out good on auto adjust settings. The camera has many others, for night time, indoor, outdoor, party, etc, but the auto seems to work the best. But like I said I'm still learning how to use the camera. The only thing that I dont care for is the screen being too sensitive. When flipping through pictures with your finger, a lot of times it would zoom in on the picture instead of going to the next one. Also in preview mode, the pictures look grainy, not very clear. And of course the "finger" features are not so easy to use as Ashton does it in the ad. :) But overall, I love the camera and would recommend it to anyone.

Nikon Coolpix S60 10MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom (Champagne Pink)

I bought this camera for my girlfriend for Christmas, and it has been an embarrassment. The screen only worked for about an hour before it turned green. We are in the process of exchanging it or getting it fixed. There is nothing worse than giving a defective gift. Stay away from Amazon. It is too much trouble to return or get something fixed. Buy your stuff from a store that has lots of warranty for their products and with an easier exchange process. As for the camera, it works great, but the screen is extremely sensitive. If the screen doesn't work, there goes your entire camera. Good luck!
