Nikon Coolpix s3000 Camera

I've totally given up on buying batteries for my old digital camera . So I proceeded to use my DSLR cam. I tried uploading heavy files online, but it was apparently too big for the site to handle and my laptop had no image editing software to scale down the size of the photos.

Nikon Coolpix S3000

Announced in February 2011, the Coolpix S3100 is aimed at users who want a shirt-pocket-sized camera that makes life simple. So simple, that while there are 18 scene modes to choose from, the S3100 has an Auto Scene Selector mode, so even this decision can be left to the camera.
Pros:
  • Stylish
  • slim and pocket-sized
  • Easy to use point-and-shoot
Cons:
  • Closest focus 10cm in macro
  • LCD has limited viewing angle
  • limited control for enthusiasts

Cheap and easily accessible

I bought this Nikon coolpix device a few year ago. Actually I bought two devices and believe me the quality is no compromised at that price. The coolpix is really value for money and you can take some cool pictures and increase your skills.

Pros:
  • Incredibly slim and compact
  • Reasonable image quality for the price
  • Pleasing design
Cons:
  • Electronic rather than optical image stabilisation
  • Some images look over-processed
