Nikon COOLPIX S3000

Well built and a good budget camera but frustratingly slow and lacking in features means it's a distinctly average proposition

"Slim, Easy to Handle Nikon Coolpix s3000"

I got this camera for my birthday and was instantly amazed. Mine is in a shiny red but various colours avaiable for your own needs. Mine also came with SD card and a leather case. Setting up first time was easy to understand and was using the camera very quickly after its inital charge.
Pros:
  • Easy to use
  • Good quality photos
  • Lightweight
Cons:
  • Doesnt always come with SD card and carry case
  • shop around

had a defective battery

I would caution anyone who is purchasing this camera through here if they are getting it for a gift. There is a strict 30 days return policy by the vendor even when the camera is defective. They won't waive it for just a few days.

you get what you pay for

Bought this for my girlfriend, didn't want to spend too much. I now wish i did, this is a cheap (and i mean crummy) camera quality. The firmware has a bug in that it says 'no image' for a random 5% of pictures taken (corrupt image files), the zoom broke after 2 months.
Pros:
  • Easy To Use
  • Large Clear LCD
  • Small / Compact
Cons:
  • Broke quickly
  • Lag / Shutter Delay
  • Poor Image Quality

Great little camera

Very small compact camera with surprisingly impressive results. Super wide angle lens - excellent in low light conditions. I've had one for a couple of years and although I have other cameras, including some much more expensive models this is the one I take with me most of the time because it will...

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.

Nikon Coolpix S3000 Digital Camera Review

The Nikon Coolpix S3000–and really all sub-$150 ultracompact digital cameras–is a step-up from a camera phone. It has a better lens, shooting options, performance, image quality, and battery life than a mobile device without weighing you down.

Nikon Coolpix S3000 review

Not everyone's a camera geek. Unless you're cavorting around with a DSLR, most people simply want a camera that can take decent photos (translation: it doesn't look like it came from a cellphone) without bulking up their bags or purses. The Nikon Coolpix S3000 hits this market squarely.
Pros:
  • Fast
  • slim and light
  • Very reasonably priced
  • Mom-friendly
Cons:
  • Only the basics – photo geeks should look elsewhere
  • Nothing particularly compelling vs the competition
  • Image quality suffers in the high ISO range
