Great Customer Service! 5
I purchased this camera before my trip to India. The camera worked a few times, but then the shutter would not function properly while I was in India. I was concerned about the return policy because I would not be returning to the USA until after the allotted return period. I emailed the company and explained my situation. The representative stated that they would be happy to exchange the camera once I returned into the country. When I arrived in the USA, I contacted the company; they provided me with needed information and I sent my camera back. I am now awaiting my replacement camera.

Dissapointed 1
This was my first digital camera and I chose Nikon because its well known brand and my father has a profesional Nikon camera that he bought in the 80s and still using it. I loved it and took good care of it. Never drop it nor exposed it to extreme weather. Last spring, my family and I went to Vegas and that's when the inevitable happened. Suddenly the screen went black and every shots I took was black. Our assumption is that the light sensor of the camera failed. I called Nikon and they said warranty only last for 1 year ( at that time, the camera is 1 year and 3 months old) and that I had to pay $150 to fix it. I ended up buying another camera which is an Olympus and never have any problem with it. I was very Dissapointed Nikon!!

First Impressions: Cool Extra Features, Prone to Blur 3
First Impressions: The negative is that this camera seems to be less able to take low light pictures without using a flash - the pictures often come out blurred. (My Fuji Finepix cameras excel in low lighting.) This can be helped by steadying the camera on an object, like the back of a chair, or using a tripod. If you want to take a lot of indoor photos without flash, go with a different camera.

However, this camera has some fun features that my Finepix Z1 and Z3 do not have. I LOVE the panorama mode. It helps you "stitch" together several pictures in a row by showing you a template of the edge of the previous picture, so that you can align your shots. Very cool.

Also, it has a stop motion feature. My son enjoys making stop motion videos of his Star Wars action figures, and this camera is great for such an activity. You put it on a tripod, set the timer interval (i.e. every 30 seconds, etc.) and then move the figures. Great fun for kids.

It has the usual scene modes - landscape, portrait, night, etc. Also a "backlight" mode, but it uses the flash on this, so what's the point? If you buy the optional case, it can take underwater shots. Has quite a few framing assists. For example, if taking pictures of a building, it helps you align verticals and horizontals. You can also play with color, as in black and white, sepia, vivid, or "blue-tinted monochrome." ? Must try that!

The camera a thorough manual, in English and Spanish. The rechargeable battery is always a great feature, plus lots of cords and stuff. Takes movie clips and records voices. Stores about 15 pictures in it's internal memory, so you'll need a memory card. But overall, a nice little camera. I wouldn't pay $400, but I'd snap it up at $100.

Great little camera. 5
The Nikon Coolpix S1 camera takes great quality photos and comes in the perfect size. We also purchased the Waterproof case (WP-CP5) to take underwater photos, and I was very pleased with the camera's ability to take high quality pictures there as well. I am very satisfied with our digital camera.
