Ultra-slim styling and fine quality that brings greater satisfaction to photography and to carrying a camera     Combining the precision optics of a Nikkor lens with the image quality and performance benefits of Nikon's innovative EXPEED digital image-processing concept, the Coolpix S3000 places advanced shooting functions comfortably in the hand for greater fun with photography.   The 19mm slim Coolpix S3000 features quality materials and construction that are instantly recognizable when taken into the hand. And with the Coolpix S3000 available in a diverse selection of attractive colors, it's the perfect tool to express personal style.

Nikon Coolpix S3000 Feature Highlights    EXPEED digital imaging technology  Nikon's smarter approach to digital imaging technology. From image capture to processing, Nikon's comprehensive EXPEED digital imaging concept encompasses the entire picture-taking operation. EXPEED is much more than a processing engine; it is a revolution in digital photography.   VR image stabilization in action. Four advanced image stabilizing features* help ensure sharper results   Nikon's Electronic VR image stabilization compensates for the effects of camera shake. Motion Detection automatically controls shutter speed and the ISO setting to compensate for subject movement as well as camera shake. ISO 3200 capability allows faster shutter speeds when shooting in low light or capturing fast-moving subjects. And, Nikon's original BSS (Best Shot Selector) function automatically shoots a series of sequential frames and saves the one with the sharpest focus. * The camera selects and uses only the features required to optimize each image.   Intelligent automation contributes to carefree shooting  Nikon's Scene Auto Selector eliminates the need to manually select a scene mode to match the shot, and this makes it faster and easier to capture the moment in beautiful fashion. The Coolpix S3000 uses this intelligent function to analyze the subject and its surrounding settings and automatically selects the most appropriate of the following six scene modes to achieve optimal results--Portrait, Landscape, Night Portrait, Night Landscape, Close-up, or Backlight.   Nikon's exclusive Smart Portrait System   Automatically detecting as many as 12 faces in the shot, Face-priority AF helps produce satisfying portraits by adjusting focus and exposure. Smile Timer automatically releases the shutter when the priority subject smiles and offers the Blink Proof function, which automatically shoots two sequential frames and saves the one in which the subject's eyes are open-wide. Now featuring faster processing speed, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix automatically corrects perceived red-eye effect before saving the image to memory.     Subject Tracking  Subject tracking automatically detects a human face and then continues to track and focus on that subject. Particularly useful when capturing children as they move naturally, Subject Tracking even functions if the subject moves out of the frame and returns within three seconds.   Nikon Coolpix S3000 Other Features 16 scene modes for optimized shooting in various settings Scene Auto Selector D-Lighting Auto Sort function Up to 1.6 hours* of movie shooting at 640 x 480 (30 fps) Quick Retouch Approx. 47 MB of internal memory USB charging via Charging AC Adapter EH-68P/EH-68P (AR) or PC * Recording stops automatically after 29 minutes, or after the file size reaches 2 GB.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: ALL I CAN GET TO COME UP IS LENS ERROR !**
A: Mine has been sitting in a drawer for 5 years because I can't get it to turn on. I've given up hope. Sorry

**Q: where is zoom button Nikkon s3000**
A: Located on the capture button

**Q: Is the battery included?**
A: Yes, it comes with its own rechargeable battery and charger. It can also be recharged using an available USB port. Very handy.

**Q: Is it possible to buy a viewfinder? and do I need to purchase a memory stick separately?**
A: Hello Mary. The LCD screen is the only viewfinder. I do not know if you can get a separate one. As for the memory, the camera has a small internal memory, however I do suggest that you get a memory card as you can only take a few photos before the camera is full.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little Point-and-shooter
*by J***E on April 2, 2010*

I was initially hesitant to buy this camera since there were ZERO reviews to be found, either here at Amazon, or elsewhere on the internet. But, since I've owned two previous Nikon Coolpix cameras (an old 4 MP camera, and a really old 2 MP camera) and both were great, I wasn't too worried. And I was right to buy it: it is working great and taking great photos, after several days of playing around with it.First of all, it is very user-friendly. The menus and controls are completely intuitive, and make sense even if you have not cracked open the manual. ("cracked open" being a bit of a misnomer, since the manual is electronic only; the paper manual that comes with it is just a "quick start guide")Second of all, it is a gorgeous piece of machinery; cute and cuddly and shiny and impressive. I'm afraid my girlfriend is going to try to steal it, it is so cute. I may have to buy her one to preemptively stop that from happening.But, most of all, it takes great pictures. I walked all over town the first day, putting it through its paces, and scrutinized the photos on my computer when I got back home. If I was going to have to return it, I wanted to do so quickly, but I don't need to. The photos are great.It is a point-and-shoot, which means that you don't have direct control over shutter speed, aperture, etc. But, you do have a dozen or so "scene modes" including Beach, Museum, Sunset, Panorama, Action, etc. These are very handy. I haven't tried them all yet, but they seem to be well designed.The second day, I put the camera through its paces inside the house. No problems; it takes great indoor shots, providing excellent exposures both with natural light and with the flash. The wide-angle 4.9 mm lens (equivalent angle of view to a 27 mm lens in a 35mm format camera) was especially nice: you can stand in a corner of a room, and get the entire room into the photo! Nothing left out. That is pretty unusual in an inexpensive fixed-lens camera.My third day test was to take the camera to the beach on a bright, contrasty day. It performed admirably, maintaining both shadow and highlight details, and rendering the deep blues of the sky and water, as well as the bright sand, equally well. This one's a keeper, folks!Another nice plus: there is a "16x9" mode available in the "shooting mode" options. This doesn't quite use all 4000x3000 pixels; it only uses 3968x2232 of them. But the images are perfect "HD" format, and completely fill up a typical wide-screen monitor without any stretching. Somehow, they look all the more impressive on a computer screen than the typical 4x3 ratio.Final tidbit: I bought the camera from Amazon, which was $10 cheaper than the local big-box store, had no sales tax, AND allowed me a 30 day return period with no restocking fee (which would have been 14 days AND a restocking fee at the local store; they need to get a clue).Anyway, as an overall impression, five stars easily for the Nikon Coolpix S3000........JC

### ⭐ Nikon Customer Service is Terrible!
*by K***Y on October 5, 2011*

The camera was great for the first few months. Small yet good quality photos. I enjoyed it. BUT within 6 months it stopped working properly. It is still under warranty so I contacted Nikon and explained the problem. They took my email address and said they would send me an email with a link so I could reply to the link and attach photos so Nikon could determine if I needed to send the camera in for repair. 3 days later, I still had not received any emails from Nikon so I called back. It turns out they got my email address wrong (even though I repeated it twice and they repeated it back correctly) so said they would resend it. 2 days later I still had not received the email so called again. Finally received it a few hours later. I replied to the email immediately. 2 more weeks passed before I finally received a response saying yes I have to send the camera in - shipped at my own expense. It took 18 days to get the camera back, supposedly repaired. However, it was not actually fixed. I called Nikon again and was told I would be sent an email with a prepaid shipping label so I could, once again, return the camera. Once again, 2 days have gone by yet I have not received an email. I just called Nikon and was told by the supervisor that they have to "follow proper protocol" in order to email the label and it takes 1 - 2 days. I explained it had been 51 hours since my phone call... she said it is still only the 2nd day (um, really?) and to let them do their jobs and I would eventually get the label. I requested a refund and was told it is not possible, they do not issue refunds under any circumstance. So... I have had a non functioning camera for 3 months and cannot get my money back. Stay away from Nikon!!

### ⭐⭐⭐ it was a good camera when it worked.
*by E***A on October 17, 2013*

this was a good point and shoot, it's was perfectly working for year and one day the lens didnot come out, since that day a started having problems with my camera........ a couple of month later the screen turned black, and that was the end. what a shame, it was a good camera.
