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

I've already looked at some of the higher-end models of Nikon's current digital camera range, including the P100 super-zoom, the L110 , also a superzoom, and the cheap but relatively cheerful L22 , a AA-powered 12-megapixel compact.

I shoot zoos and I wanted a small digital to have around my neck to capture people-kids, without changing my 80 200 from my D200 and this is a fun camera to use. I could not have found a better little camera for my use. Problems: No problems,

Nikon Coolpix S3000

The S3000 is pretty good for a cheap point-and-shoot camera, as long as you keep photo quality expectations in check considering its price.
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

Nikon Coolpix S3000 Review

The Nikon Coolpix S3000 is a 12-megapixel, ultra-compact camera. The S3000 is quite a basic point and shoot camera that's really just a step or so up from the bottom-end Nikon L22 . The S3000 has a decent 4x optical zoom, equivalent to a 27-108mm zoom range on a 35mm camera.

This camera is HORRIBLE

I took a chance on this camera because Nikon is supposed to be a good brand. I have a friend that owns a higher end model which takes wonderful pictures. The pictures I took with the Coolpix were horrible. I used this camera during a weekend trip. None of the indoor pictures came out.

Nikon Coolpix S3000 review Review

The Nikon Coolpix S3000 is designed to be an affordable, stylish and fun camera, so it's hardly fair to expect cutting-edge technology. Even so, its basic specs are very similar to those of countless other compact cameras on the market, and it's such a modest improvement over the outgoing Coolpix...
Pros:
  • Appealing design and styling
  • Handy 4x wide-angle zoom
  • Good value for money
Cons:
  • Fine detail can become mushy
  • No optical image stabilisation
  • Tendency to overexpose photos

Nikon Coolpix S3000

The Nikon Coolpix S3000 is a slimline pocket sized digital camera. Apart from its small size the biggest attraction is likely to be its ease of use. This is also one of the cheapest pocket cameras available from one of the big name brands.
Pros:
  • Ease of use - 3 inch LCD screen - High Definition movies - colours - shutter lag times
Cons:
  • Macro mode - shutter lag with flash
