Nikon COOLPIX S01 10.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Zoom NIKKOR Glass Lens (Pink) (Old Model)

When I bought this camera a couple of weeks ago, my husband exclaimed, "Not another camera!". But let me tell you, this is just not 'another camera'! It takes excellent photos given that is a relatively cheap point and shoot camera. We just arrived back from eight days vacation in Cancun where I took 292 pics and 4 videos and did not have to charge the camera at all! The size is great and it also was admired by many. Was able to upload all the pics from the camera each evening onto my Mini iPad. To do this you will need a couple of extra accessories, but it is still easy enough to do. The zoom is adequate, not brilliant, but adequate. The flash is only good for close up pics. Also found I had to us the 'fill flash' mode a few times. Tip - you can download the User Manual and read it before you purchase, which is what I did and found it most useful so when I received the camera from Amazon, not only wad the camera fully charged and ready to go, so was I! Photos posted!

If you're looking for a fabulous pocket camera, look no further. A bargain at the price, people are amazed at the small size, and I'm very pleased at the quality of the photos. Goes a long time on the (proprietary) battery, no need for a separate SD card, really, this is a take-with-you-all-the-time light and compact camera, no excuse not to have one handy any more. Only thing I miss is the tripod socket--but it does have little feet on the bottom so can be propped up on a level surface when using the self timer. On screen touch controls take a bit of getting used to, and sometimes don't do what you want to immediately, but that's a minor point, and easily fixed with some practice. Nice easy playback, deleting unwanted photos, and scanning what you've taken, all on screen. Connect to your computer to save the photos with the included USB cable. A great, little camera, from Nikon.

First off you should know this is not a really fancy, super high quality/ resolution camera. My husband already has one of those. When purchasing this camera I was in the market for something small that I could throw in my purse or take on vacation and not have to fuss with. And I got exactly what I was looking for! This is a fun LITTLE and I mean LITTLE camera! It's seriously smaller than a credit card. The picture quality is what I expected. Great for everyday quick shots, and vacation photos. I would call the quality comprable if not a little better than the photos I get with my iphone4. The built in memory is also very convienent. And holds a ton of pictures. I like that I don't have to keep track of any cards. My only complaint is that it is not compatible with the ipad camera kit which would have been nice. If your looking for a nice alternative to using your smartphone camera all the time this is perfect. I got mine around christmas for around $100 which sits nicely with me. It's really a great little camera.

The one and only good thing about this camera is the size. The size is awesomely amazing. You can stick this sucker in any pocket, even in the pocket of your tight jeans. Other than the size this camera is really just terrible. I am surprised by all the glowing reviews for this camera and wonder if those people are just used to taking crappy photos all the time. I got this camera for Christmas and have already returned it for a Canon Elph, which isn't much bigger and is vastly better at the same price. I have taken much better photos with my cameraphone (an old Blackberry Storm 2) than I managed to capture with this camera. I made sure this was the first gift I opened on Christmas morning so that I could use it to take photos of the festivities. These are the discoveries I made about the picture quality with the S01: 1) Tiny flash = bad lighting. Unless your subject is exactly 3.5 - 4.5 feet away from you the flash is not strong enough to illuminate them. Any closer than 3.5 feet and they will be lit up like the sun; totally overexposed. 2) Slow flash reaction. This is one of those cameras that has the crazy flash that I think is supposed to eliminate red eyes but it takes a million years to actually flash so by the time the shutter works the subject is no longer posing. It is utterly frustrating for the photographer as well as the people that are in the photo because a 'preflash' illuminates and the subject will think the photo has been taken when it will actually go off 5 to 10 seconds later. I have been told that if you hit the shutter button half way down to focus without releasing than take the photo the slow flash won't occur, but I had already returned the S01 before I had a chance to test that out. 3) Subject must be still. If your subject moves at all the image will be blurred. This camera cannot freeze movement. 4) Despite the slow flash most subjects had red eyes. Big glowing red eyes. I did get one cool shot of my 2 year old niece that looks very similar to a young Damien. Extremely evil. Nearly all the photos I took were indoors in a well lighted room yet many of the photos are dark, yellow/orangish tinted, grainy, or overexposed. I took approximately 65 shots and got maybe two decent photos. It was very dissapointing that I relied on this camera for all my Christmas day photos. I did take two photos at night of the full moon, which for some reason actually turned out better than photos I have taken of the moon with my Nikon SLR. So in conclusion; if all you care about is the size of your camera with no concern for picture quality, by all means this is the camera for you. Otherwise, you will quickly be sorry you purchased this little camera. So very disappointing for a camera that carries the Nikon name.

I got this camera for my birthday, and I love it.It is tiny, easy to carry, and easy to take with me. Now it may just be that I love my camera so much that I'm overusing it,but the paint is starting to come off slowly. I think my camera just got dropped, but the screen is already cracked.Also,there is dust under the screen that I can't get out. And something happened with the charger so now the only way to charge it is by computer,not by outlet.I'v only had it for two months. It must constantly be charged or the battery dies. Takes videos,pics,zooms in and out,deletes,picks favorites,and so much more.It really is a great camera.I suggest you get camera insurance.Really nice camera. Update 2019: when I got this camera it was only 75 dollars vs 225$!! I have noticed throughout the time I have owned this camera that it works horribly,for taking close up photos...it doesn't seem to be able to focus.

Thanks I got in correct time

Awsome little camera! I can carry it in my pocket, and pull it out, turn it on and take a pic in seconds. Nice clear photos. Video is great too. Just what I was looking for. And it arrived before the delivery window.

Awesome! Made my father very happy to get this. He had one just like it and it died. He was disappointed he couldn't find one locally, but this worked just as well. Thank you!!!
