Review: Great little Point-and-shooter - I was initially hesitant to buy this camera since there were ZERO reviews to be found, either here at desertcart, or elsewhere on the internet. But, since I've owned two previous Nikon Coolpix cameras (an old 4 MP camera, and a really old 2 MP camera) and both were great, I wasn't too worried. And I was right to buy it: it is working great and taking great photos, after several days of playing around with it. First of all, it is very user-friendly. The menus and controls are completely intuitive, and make sense even if you have not cracked open the manual. ("cracked open" being a bit of a misnomer, since the manual is electronic only; the paper manual that comes with it is just a "quick start guide") Second of all, it is a gorgeous piece of machinery; cute and cuddly and shiny and impressive. I'm afraid my girlfriend is going to try to steal it, it is so cute. I may have to buy her one to preemptively stop that from happening. But, most of all, it takes great pictures. I walked all over town the first day, putting it through its paces, and scrutinized the photos on my computer when I got back home. If I was going to have to return it, I wanted to do so quickly, but I don't need to. The photos are great. It is a point-and-shoot, which means that you don't have direct control over shutter speed, aperture, etc. But, you do have a dozen or so "scene modes" including Beach, Museum, Sunset, Panorama, Action, etc. These are very handy. I haven't tried them all yet, but they seem to be well designed. The second day, I put the camera through its paces inside the house. No problems; it takes great indoor shots, providing excellent exposures both with natural light and with the flash. The wide-angle 4.9 mm lens (equivalent angle of view to a 27 mm lens in a 35mm format camera) was especially nice: you can stand in a corner of a room, and get the entire room into the photo! Nothing left out. That is pretty unusual in an inexpensive fixed-lens camera. My third day test was to take the camera to the beach on a bright, contrasty day. It performed admirably, maintaining both shadow and highlight details, and rendering the deep blues of the sky and water, as well as the bright sand, equally well. This one's a keeper, folks! Another nice plus: there is a "16x9" mode available in the "shooting mode" options. This doesn't quite use all 4000x3000 pixels; it only uses 3968x2232 of them. But the images are perfect "HD" format, and completely fill up a typical wide-screen monitor without any stretching. Somehow, they look all the more impressive on a computer screen than the typical 4x3 ratio. Final tidbit: I bought the camera from desertcart, which was $10 cheaper than the local big-box store, had no sales tax, AND allowed me a 30 day return period with no restocking fee (which would have been 14 days AND a restocking fee at the local store; they need to get a clue). Anyway, as an overall impression, five stars easily for the Nikon Coolpix S3000........JC
Review: Great litle camera for the price; perfect for my 10 yr old. - Has lots of features for a small camera. Not a lot of zoom ability, but there's some. Perfect camera for my daughter's use. Its a lot at first to figure out, but she loves it, and most of the time just uses it in auto mode. Nikon's Auto settings are really good, even for a small camera. But she's learned how to alter her flash and scene settings, and practices around the house in different lighting and focus points to see what the camera can do. Great for snapahots of friends, and scenery when on vacation. took some nice photos at night on vacation, but just keep people within 10-15 feet for best shots. Flash is good, but is not big, so its a recommendation to keep your subject within a decent area. Camera has settings that can shoot up to3200 ISO, and adjust white balance. Bad thing is there's only a digital guide on CD, so everytime you need to refer to something when learning how to use it, you need your computer around to read it. You can't just keep a small copy of it on you. I had to print the basic pages so I can keep it with the camera. Definitely do your research before buying. Buy for what you really need the camera to do. If you don't need a lot of the special features, this is a great purchase saving several dollars from the next version up. Nikon really delivers with a small camera with big camera features for less than $150, and that's with some accessories added.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: ALL I CAN GET TO COME UP IS LENS ERROR !**
A: Mine has been sitting in a drawer for 5 years because I can't get it to turn on. I've given up hope. Sorry

**Q: where is zoom button Nikkon s3000**
A: Located on the capture button

**Q: Is the battery included?**
A: Yes, it comes with its own rechargeable battery and charger. It can also be recharged using an available USB port. Very handy.

**Q: Is it possible to buy a viewfinder? and do I need to purchase a memory stick separately?**
A: Hello Mary. The LCD screen is the only viewfinder. I do not know if you can get a separate one. As for the memory, the camera has a small internal memory, however I do suggest that you get a memory card as you can only take a few photos before the camera is full.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great camera overall
*by N***K on February 6, 2011*

This is an excellent camera in this price range. I was looking for price, size, and picture quality. I looked at the Coolpix cameras with touchscreens, but trying one out in the store, I found it wasn't very intuitive. My previous camera was a Canon Powershot. Overall, I like this camera. The viewing screen is large and clear, the pictures seem to be good quality (based on viewing on the computer; I haven't printed any out yet.) I find this camera very easy to use overall. The manual is lacking. There are features that are simply not included in it. Personally, I think that if a manual is included, it should explain everything. I shouldn't have to hunt for information online. Still, it covered the basics well. There are two aspects of the camera that I don't like. First, there is no battery status indicator. I want to know right now how much battery I have left, and I can't find any option for this in any of the mentions. There's no mention of it in the manual. I would expect there to be some sort of indicator, but I haven't found it yet. I don't want to be surprised by suddenly having a dead battery. Second, I find it odd that the battery must be charged while it is in the camera. I plan to buy a second battery. With my Canon, the charger worked on the battery alone. While traveling, I wore out my battery. I put it in the charger, put a second battery in my camera, and took more pictures. By the time I got back to the hotel, the first battery was charged. Charging doesn't seem to take very long, so this probably won't be much of an issue, but I'm still surprised by it. Aside from that, this seems to be a good quality camera for its price. I consulted with friends who do photography and they said that, unless I'm blowing up pictures to a huge size, 10 megapixels is plenty, so I feel good about this purchase of 12mp and 4x zoom.
