Buy Nikon Coolpix S51 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Vibration Reduction Zoom (Magenta)

We bought this camera because, like most women, my wife wants a small camera. Expecting the best from the illustrious name "Nikon", our hopes were dashed.

The optical quality of the photographs it produced was abysmal. Most were out of focus, and those that were in focus were of very poor quality.

So we returned it for a refund, thanks for that, and bought a Canon. It is slightly larger but produces excellent photographs every time.

Discount Nikon Coolpix P5100 12.1MP Digital Camera with 3.5x Optical Vibration Reduction Zoom

When I was shopping for a camera, I was extremely finicky. I wanted something that took great pictures (obviously), had manual controls (i was just starting to get into photography at the time), and was very portable (if you can't take it everywhere, what good is it?).

I spent months and months online reading reviews, shopping around, and decided on this camera. It has certainly delivered.

Display: I've never really had a problem using the display in all but the brightest sun. The viewfinder's there if you need it, too, which is nice. I would love it if it was a through-the-lens viewfinder, but it's not; it shows what's in front on the viewfinder, rather than what's in front of the lens, and can't adjust for zoom. This is a really minor complaint though, as I've really never had much trouble with the display.

Ease of use: The auto mode on this camera works great. The special scene modes are great. (That covers ease-of-use for amateurs-- you can easily take great pictures with this camera even if you never touch any of the manual controls.) If you're more knowledgeable, the camera has full manual, aperture, shutter, and program modes too. As someone who's shopped around, I can tell you this is really hard to find in a camera that's this size and price. All of the controls feel intuitive and I've always found it easy to find everything I need. If I could change one thing here, I wish the camera would remember settings that I'd changed after I've turned it off and on again. For instance, I almost never use the flash, but every time I turn it on, I have to turn the flash off again.

Features: Features. Hmm. This camera has every shooting mode I could ever need, manual controls, a FLASH HOTSHOE, *and* can accommodate additional lenses? Ok, so it doesn't come with on-board GPS like the P6000, but other than that, I can't think of a feature I would ever want that this camera doesn't have. Oh, and the vibration reduction's great too. I've been able to take shake-free pictures with shutter speeds up to 1 or 2 seconds handheld if I steady myself on something. This is really nice for shooting in low-light or at night. Complaint: the flash. The flash on this camera is bad. It's not very powerful and most pictures taken with it come out looking unnatural. I think it also sometimes gets the shadow of the lens, which is odd. Then again, if this really mattered, I could always buy an external flash. It hasn't really bothered me, but it has turned me into a natural-light purist. Vibration reduction really helps with this.

On the negative side, don't even try to take pictures of kids playing sports with this thing. It has a mode for it, but I wouldn't recommend it. The camera seems a little too slow to respond for this sort of thing. The high ISOs are really grainy, too. I like to set it at ISO 64-100 and take pictures of fairly stationary things. If this isn't for you, you might want to consider a slightly more nimble little camera.

Picture quality: Picture quality is stellar. Really. Occasionally, I see pictures taken with a professional DSLR and say, "Wow, I don't think I could do that with my camera," but short of being a DSLR, this thing can take really amazing pictures. The 12MP also make it easy to crop things way down and find a more impressive photo hidden within an otherwise dull one.

Portability: It's not as small as some digital cameras made these days, but it's still easily purse/pocket-sized (bulgy pocket, but still). For all the features this thing holds, it seems downright miniscule.

If you can't tell already, I highly recommend this camera. I took mine in for repair the other day (fell off a table and got a lens error. :( otherwise, has been very durable, though.) and, after quoting me the price for the repair, the woman in the camera store said that whether it was worth it or not depended on how much I paid for it and how much I love it. I think I was blushing a little as I told her, "It's worth it."

I am so in love with this camera.Get more detail about Nikon Coolpix P5100 12.1MP Digital Camera with 3.5x Optical Vibration Reduction Zoom.

Low Price Nikon Coolpix 7600 7MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom

I purchased a Coolpix 7600 in July of 2005 to use on a 15,000 mile round trip from my home in far West Texas to the Arctic Ocean at Deadhorse, Alaska. I had no problem learning how to use it and took around 3,000 photos with this camera on the trip. My wife was carrying her state-of-the art Canon $5,000 dollar mega monster. When I transferred the first set of pictures from the 7600 to my laptop and showed them to her she literally turned a different color in total disbelief of the quality of the pictures that I had taken with this camera. She said that the 7600 "Made Love" to the colors because of the quality of the photos. She also said that this camera proved that she had wasted a lot of money on her camera after looking at what the 7600 had produced. This camera is tough. I left it on a picnic table in the Yukon Territory one night and the camera got rained on. Certain that it was a goner I put it in a warm dry place for 3 days (just had to try to save it) and when I turned it on every feature worked perfectly. I found that alkaline batteries would run down after shooting less than 100 pictures and tried lithium batteries. I did not think that the lithiums were ever going to go dead! I did not count the number of photos taken with the lithiums but would safely say that I was getting at least 7-800 photos before having to replace the batteries. I now also have a Canon Powershot S5 IS and have found that the rechargable NiMH batteries that I use in the S5 IS last as long as the lithium batteries did in the 7600 so now I use the rechargables in both cameras. I take a lot of photos and when running out the door for a quick jaunt I always grab the Nikon 7600 instead of my much more sophisticated Canon. This camera's size and capabilities make it as desirable as my Canon. Almost five years after buying this camera I still love it and it continues to amaze me every time I use it...and it has been used a lot. For the money I can't say enough good things about this camera. GREAT CAMERA! I just love it.Get more detail about Nikon Coolpix 7600 7MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom.

Save Nikon Coolpix 5400 5.1 MP Digital Camera w/ 4x Optical Zoom

I have had this camera for 6 years. For the entire 6, I have been frustrated by the delay in writing the picture. I am not sure how many fps they claim, I am here to tell you it is seconds per frame. There is a 3-10 second delay between each photo. Now, I am just your average user, 4 kids and want good pics of them. I have to admit, when I got the shot, there is no better. I have the wide angle and telephoto lenses and are very happy with those (not happy with the amount of time to change a lenses).

My sister purchased a Canon Rebel. After witnessing how fast she could reel off the shots, I dumped this and purchased the XS. For an investment of 700, I now feel I have a much better system than the 5400 ever could have provided. The Nikon is on its way to ebay.

I would strongly advise not to buy this camera.Get more detail about Nikon Coolpix 5400 5.1 MP Digital Camera w/ 4x Optical Zoom.

Lowest Price Nikon Coolpix S50c 7.2 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Vibration Reduction Zoom and Wifi Capable

The Nikon Coolpix S50c is a really nice camera, what I was looking for was the Nikon S6 which I feel is much more user friendly. I accidentally dropped mine in the trash and I was looking for another one and I figured you really can't go wrong with Nikon so I got that one and I would give anything to have my S6 back. All in all it gets the job done.Get more detail about Nikon Coolpix S50c 7.2 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Vibration Reduction Zoom and Wifi Capable.
