Nikon Coolpix S3000 12.0MP Digital Camera Review:

The over two hundred customers who reviewed this digital camera gave it an average rating of 3.9 stars. They also gave it a 4.1-star rating for ease of navigation. Many of the reviewers appreciated it for being very user-friendly, with menus and controls that were easy to understand even without consulting the manual. It was also found to be very attractive visually while taking great quality pictures.

One reviewer described it as being so cute that his girlfriend might want to steal it! Its being a point-and-shoot with many scene modes made it just right for the average need. Another user appreciated how the camera warned him when the subject blinked when the photograph was taken. Its Smart Portrait System was also greatly appreciated. He also found the video and audio quality to be great, especially considering the compact size of the camera. The rechargeable batteries were also considered a great perk as it was more price-friendly compared to changing it each time. Another buyer liked it for being lightweight and simple to use while giving quality photos. One more buyer expressed an initial hesitation at getting this camera, but the price was found to be the best among cameras with similar features. Another user described it as being great at reducing shaking effects to a greater degree compared to her old camera.

One of the buyers who had a sad experience with this camera found it to stop working after a few months; he mentioned that when he brought this up online, several of his friends agreed that the same brand that they had also did the same thing. Another reviewer did not like the quality of the shots it gave, as he described distance shots as being OK but not macro shots.

Since there were only a handful of negative experiences recorded, we believe this camera would still be great as a simple point-and-shoot. You will find the price reasonable for the value you get.
