 "Great" 2009-12-23
By D. Gordon (Wydnmoor, PA USA)
The picture quality as well as ease of operation are this camera's strong points. I also like the fact that I can hold it over my head and take a picture, or turn it around and take a picture of myself and whoever I am with at the time.

 "Great camera!" 2009-06-07
By Laura Schnerr (Austin, TX)
I've had this camera for years and LOVE it. The zoom is awesome!! It takes great pictures, is easy to operate, and has lots of cool features. Also, it was at one point completely submerged in water for about a minute. I took it apart, dried it out, put it back together, and by the next day you'd never know anything happened. Nikon makes a great (and durable!) product.

 "Low Light Issues Again" 2009-05-06
By B. McGraw (Boston)
As other people have mentioned, I found there to be a fair amount of low light issues with this camera, in addition to many photos looking fine on the LCD screen but then having a very grainy quality when I uploaded them to my PC.



Honestly, the most redeeming aspect of this camera is the pivoting lens. Otherwise there are comparable cameras out there for a better price that are smaller and have more intuitive menus.

 "Lovely point-and-shoot, no longer made" 2009-04-16
By yellow menace (new york, ny)
This Coolpix is no longer being produced, which is a little sad. One of the biggest selling points of this camera for me was the 10x optical zoom. Most digital point and shoots carry 5x or so, paltry in comparison. For this level of zoon, you'd probably have to start looking at the nicer digital SLRs.



This camera is not the sexiest in terms of aesthetics, it's bulky and wide. Not something you can easily slide into your pocket. But its size is what houses the awesome lense, so I can overlook that.



Pros: The vibration reduction is good, better than the previous version. Longer battery life, and it's a rechargeable lithium which is nice. Manual functions, you can mess around with the ISO all you like (well, within Nikon's options), video option - this is good for if you need/want to make a video in a pinch. This is a point of contention, but the 170 swivel is great. Some people really detest it, but I love it. This feature allows you a mobility you wish you had on all other digitals. It doesn't hurt that this comes in hand for when you want to take the obligatory friends photo with you in it, you can see how you look in the screen because the lense swings backwards. And I'm totally going to mention again, the zoom...the level of micro detail you can get with this thing is just amazing.



Cons: Design - the lense cover broke off after a few bored flicks too many. With the video option comes sound, so if you wanted to shoot an American Beauty-like scene, be prepared to hear the traffic, cursing, and barking dogs in the background. The automatic settings can be iffy, depending on what you're shooting the automatic feature tends to over/under correct. The price now that it's out of production. At the rate it's being offered currently, you might want to shell out another $100 or so and get a nice SLR.

 "A useful point and shoot camera, but limited." 2009-04-15
By Adrian
I bought the S10 2 years ago to replace my S4, which suddenly stopped working soon after the S10 was released. Both are similar in that they were, and still are, in April 2009, the smallest cameras with a 10x zoom and VGA video. In addition, they had an excellent swivel screen (I love swivel screens) and a very clear and decent sized 2.5 inch LCD screen.



The good things about the S10 are:



- great zoom.

- vibration reduction works well to give clear and colourful photos.

- pocketable, if clothes not tight.

- video only limited by memory card size, not by some predetermined length

- looks good.

- reasonable flash.

- fixed flip lens cap is neat, no risk of misplacing it.

- easy to switch between camera mode and viewing photos taken.

- excellent front and back swivel. Everyone always goes "oh! what an unusual camera!"

- the zoom length, combined with small size (compared with current super zoom cameras) remains unbeatable, and is a reason I still havent bought a prosumer superzoom to replace it.





The not so good things about it:



- focusing is relatively slow.

- no wide angle so group photos often difficult.

- menu is a hassle to navigate.

- the "ok" button, which also serves as a kind of quick link to flash/macro/preset scene functions, is difficult to use.

- I still dont know how to use the panoramic photo feature- it's so hard to do, even after reading the manual.

- limited functions. Cant set shutter speed or focal length. No fast multishot.

- the actual shutter button, aka the "press to take the photo" button, is a non descrip rectangle which doesnt really look like the shutter button. The on/off button next to it looks more intuitively like the actual shutter button. The problem with this is that from time to time, when I ask strangers to take a photo for me, they accidentally press the on/off button instead of the shutter button, and turn the camera off.





All in all, it's really a 3 star camera, but the 10x zoom is very useful and gives it an extra star, if you accept it's limitations.



If Nikon added a faster focus and wider angle, like 28mm, it would enhance the useablility of this camera hugely. If they also included manual shutter speed and focus features, it would put the other prosumer cameras out of business.
