Nikon Coolpix S210 Digital Camera

As far as a point a click camera goes, this one is wonderful! We got ours last year because my $500 fuji decided to stop working 2 days before we went on vacation. It takes very good quality pictures, and will fit in your pocket. The one problem I have had with it is that it wants to reformat the memory card every single time I take it out and put it back in. An easy solution to this is to use the usb cable that comes with it to direct upload from the camera itself. Also the light that signifies it is charging does not always come on when it is plugged in to charge. So you just have to trust that it is charging.

I'll start by saying that this is my first camera review. I'm also a big ol' noob (novice) when it comes to cameras, so please forgive my lack of concise terminology and limited experience with the camera's features. That said, I suppose this review could be considered feedback from the general consumer.

This is my third digital camera and this is the best, hands down! It does virtually everything perfectly, e.g. night, backlight, inside and even beautiful video at night to boot. Others who have been with me while vacating were amazed at the quality. One person had an $800 Canon and wasn't able to get the quality in some environments and his camera required a lotta adjustments. If you want something easy to use with great quality pix, you won't regret buying this unit.

Bought this for my daughter ... so far we've both been pleased with the product and it's value. Of course it's Nikon ... I'd not expect less.

3 weeks old and the lens jammed. "customer support claimed misuse. I have contacted support several times but no replies

I hate taking pictures and I always have to learn any new electronic device that we buy. This camera was for my wife and she easily understood everything she needed to take some great pictures. It really is a great little camera.
