Great for family snaps and holiday photos
I had this camera as a birthday present a year ago and was really pleased with it. I have taken it on a couple of holidays with me and it has done the job. The photos have all come out well and I haven't had many problems with the camera itself.

Decent for the price
The picture clarity is lost as the camera's optical zoom increases, at 5x it is quite hazy. Testing with a tripod to eliminate hand jitters yielded no better results. Lack of controls to even change the iso makes low light pictures unusable.

Nikon Coolpix S3300
Nikon's budget compacts are hard to tell apart. After a very "entry-level" S3100 the company has released the S3300, which is... well, basically the same thing. One of the only differences is that it now (finally!
Pros:
- Stylish
- colourful facade
- User-friendly
- Image stabiliser (still uncommon in this price range
Cons:
- Plastic back feels cheap
- Screen: poor viewing angles
- Images overly smoothed starting at 800 ISO
- Poor-quality lens (blurry edges starting at 1 x 15 cm
- Video mode has no zoom and bad sound

The Camera can not focus
So I would say that one of the most important things that a digital camera should do is "FOCUS", well that has been very hard to do. I am only able to get a close-up image in focus by using the close-up feature, but it will not focus on anything over a distance of 1 foot.

DO NOT BUY
DO NOT BUY this camera, We brought this camera as a replacement for our now old Sony Cyber shot, As we wanted a change and more modern looking camera thinking the 16mp would give us better photos. How wrong we were the picture quality is pathetic 80% of our close up pictures for [...] etc.
Pros:
- Good Battery Life
- Easy To Use
Cons:
- Low-Quality Pictures
- Shutter Lag
- Not Good In Low Light

Not a horrible camera
Lousy customer service from Nikon on what I thought was a pretty decent point and shoot camera. 1 year and 1 week and it died, it was 1 week out of warranty and they would not even discuss a replacement...
Pros:
- Small and compact
- 16 megapixels
Cons:
- For 16 mp sometimes the pictures were very blurry and other times quite clear, don't know why either
- The big con is how long this camera lasted
- Bought it on 4/30/12 and it died the 1st week of May 2013
- Guess what the warranty is Yep 1 year!

Then the battery packed in just after the year which apparently shouldn't do after such a short space and have since replaced it only for it to go again a couple of months later.

Nikon Coolpix S3300 Digital Camera Review
The Coolpix S3300 isn't a great camera, even for only $140. The cheap lens produces some of the most distracting chromatic aberration we've seen, and overall resolution is poor as a result.
Pros:
- Accurate colors
- Dead-on white balance
Cons:
- Poor resolution
- Severe chromatic aberration
