Helpful Nikon Coolpix S220 10MP Camera Reviews and Comments

It’s a pretty good camera for the price but the button you press to take the picture is built right on top of the zoom button. It is soo annoying because half the time I go to take a picture it accedently zooms in. Sucks but other than that it’s a pretty good deal.

This is a great camera. I bought one about a year ago and it was stolen. So I had to get it again! Its about the same size as the average cell phone. So it can easily be put in your pocket or in a small purse. Great images, easy to use. Theres a crop option when you review them. Couldnt be happier!!!

I’ll admit it, I got this camera because it was cheap and pretty. As far as looks go, I’m pretty smitten with it. The lcd is large and crisp, the controls are incredibly user friendly, and it takes wonderful point and shoot pictures. There are a million settings you can use from fireworks to food, but they’re mostly kind of useless and don’t look much different from the auto function. The photos are generally crisp and accurate, though I’ve experienced some bizarre color casts. I spent some time in a blacksmith shop, and all the rust came out bright yellow instead of rust-colored, which is not something easy to fix in photoshop. Also, I spend a lot of time with the macro lens, which I’ve been underwhelmed with. The focus is fairly far away- a good 6 inches, and even from there it’s usually blurry by the time I crop it. Otherwise, though, I’ve been happy with contrast and color vibrancy. It really does do a good job for the price.

So all in all, I’d say it’s a very appropriate camera for the non-professional without a lot of money. I hate to admit that I fall into the group of consumers that buy something because it looks pretty, but if that’s one of your requirements-go for it. This thing is adorable.

I love it. I’ve had a Nikon Coolpix before and I love this one even more. The pictures are crisp. Menu’s are easy to follow, and the available colors are an added bonus. I would definitely recommend this product to a friend!!

This is a very beutiful & attractive camera it is easy to use and has a reasonable level of features but as far as its original purpose it is terrible, the picture quality is TERRIBLE!!! Do not buy this camera unless you like low quality pics or are blind. Also NIKKON tech support as far as rectifying the very low quality picture issues will not work with you. All I have to say is stay away.

I bought this for my daughters birthday and was really surprised at how small it was compared to the other digital cameras in our household. It is by far the smallest and lightest camera, yet it is packed with features.

The camera is less than 3/4 of an inch thick, only 3.5″ wide, and 2″ high. The controls are super easy to understand. With the battery and SD card installed it weighed in at only 4.1 ounces, about half the weight of my my Canon digital camera I bought earlier this year. Comparing the two side by side, the Canon is twice as thick.

One way the weight and size is being reduced on the Nikon is they use a
special rechargeable battery, the Nikon EN-EL10 Lithium-ion Battery for Nikon Coolpix S600, S520 & S210, or the generic equivalent being the Maximalpower DB OLY LI40B/42B Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery for Olympus Li-40B,Li-42B, Kodak KLIC7006,FUJI NP45, Nikon EN-EL10,Pentax D-Li63. The battery is not quite as convenient as AA’s, but it does save on the weight and is conveniently rechargeable.

I found the camera did an excellent with outdoor shots, even when using the zoom lens at its maximum power. However, indoors the camera did not handle indoor photos as well as the Canon. The pictures were still pretty good, just not as good as I was getting with the other camera.

The camera comes with 44 MB of internal memory, which allowed me to take 28 pictures at 10 mp before needing an SD card.

Two really cool features on this camera are the panorama assist which allows you to take pieces of a panoramic picture by overlapping your last shot so you can take consecutive shots and join them together later in the included Panorama Maker which is included with the software CD.

Another interesting feature is the Best Shot Selector. When this is selected, the camera will rapidly take 10 photos, and automatically save the sharpest one. The only downside is that I would like to review the 10 pictures and personally select the one I like the best.

The camera can use up to a 16 GB SDHC card. Surprisingly, for it’s small size, it also has a tripod mount.

If you’re looking for a lightweight camera that is big on features and low in price, this might be the perfect camera for you. It also comes in a variety of fun colors such as red, magenta, blue, green, black, and silver.

I would also recommend ordering the Transcend 4 GB SDHC Class 6 Flash Memory Card TS4GSDHC6E [Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging] , which will hold hundreds of photos.

I bought this camera for my 13 year old daughter. She LOVES it. She had no trouble figuring out how to use it and is very happy with the pictures. It’s a good value with lots of features. I highly recommend it.

this Nikon s220 is the greatest little camera I have owned, it takes beautiful zoom photos very clear.

I bought this camera for my girlfriend for Christmas this year. I purchased the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and decided to take it home for the holiday to test it out. It is small and easy enough to use, but the photo quality is absolutely terrible. I tested it in a variety of situations: inside, outside, bright light, low light, and even shot some video. I would say it failed every category. The photo quality is perhaps a step above a cellphone camera (but not by much) in my opinion. I returned it on Black Friday and purchased a Canon SD 1200 IS. It unfortunately cost me about $30 more, but I think it will end up being worth it.
