Its a Great Camera
What more can I say. It was a birthday present for my thirteenth birthday hence I am over 13. I love my camera. It is beautiful functional and colorful just like Kate Moss. Michelle
Small and cute. Great starter camera.
I bought this camera 5 days ago Nov. 3rd. I bought this particular camera becuase Ive heard so many great things about Nikon and have been thinking of purchasing a Nikon DSLR. I really wanted a DSLR but cannot afford it at this time and needed to upgrade my ancient digital Olympus for family pics. I also thought it would be a good idea to purchase a cheaper digital camera to get used to the settings before deciding for sure which DSLR I would eventually purchase. After looking at several other cameras in the store that were not in stock I went ahead and purchased the S210 because of the 8MP and the 2000ISO that it boasts. I should have waited. I didnt like it shortly after taking it out of the box. In order for me to figure out the camera functions I had to read the very detailed technically written manual. I am an extremely intelligent person and very computer/technologically literate. I got very frustrated while playing with it the first night. I put it on HighISO and could not figure out how to take it off. When you go to that section of the manual it just tells you what its for. It took me until the next day to figure out that it was an independant setting like the scene mode and the camera mode. You cannot just pick up the camera and start using it you have to read the manual. I took 25 pictures the next day that I actually kept I probably took at least twice that. I wasnt particularly happy with any of them every single one turned out blurry after I downloaded them onto my laptop. So that night I looked up reviews on this camera I shouldve done that before I bought the camera but I got excited. Most of the reviews echoed what I had already experienced however one review on Amazon said that you needed to play with it. So I broke down and read the manual and have played with the camera for several days. I have probably taken a couple of hundred pictures with it by now. It seems to do pretty well in good light. The functions in the camera mode are fun to play with and I was able to get some interesting effects with the different color/lighting/ISO functions. However the camera seems to have problems with the focus especially if you are using it in indoor lighting particularly at night when all the house lights are on. BTW I discovered that if you have the high energy light bulbs you know the spiral ones you have to set the light on flourescent not incandescent it makes a huge difference in the coloring of your pictures. I have not been able to figure out what settings will fix the focus I have used every ISO light and color setting and I am getting sick of the maddening red box. If you go ahead and take the picture it is not noticeable however if you zoom into the pictures either on the camera or on the computer there is some slight blurring especially farther out in the corners. Even if you do manage to get it in focus the only thing in focus is what the camera focused on. Again not noticeable until you zoom in. If you are looking for a camera that just takes pictures and dont plan on editing them or blowing them up this camera is great. It takes good standard pictures. However dont bother with the 1600 or 2000 ISO the room has to be very dark were talking single light source here to get a decent picture without any noise believe me I tried it in several lighting scenarios. Actually come to think of it the High ISO which automatically bumps the ISO up to 1600 is great for birthday parties where the only light is the candles on the birthday cake. Might take great pics of the Chrismas tree too. I love the fact that it is small and fits into your pocket and the color is pretty mine was the plum color. It seems to have decent timing though I really have no comparison since my old camera took 5 seconds or more to take a picture. All in all it is a decent camera but I wish I had done more research before purchasing it. It is a great camera just not for what I want to use it for. The settings are fun to play with once you figure them out. I would highly recommend it for someone who just plans on printing out 4X6 or 8X10 pics without a whole lot of editing or a young person who is interested in photography. Its a great starter camera. BTW battery life is great. I charged it fully the first night and didnt have to charge it again till two days later Nov 5th and I am still going off that charge. I have not yet decided whether I will return the camera.
O.K. camera...until it broke.
Ill start by saying that this is my first camera review. Im also a big ol noob novice when it comes to cameras so please forgive my lack of concise terminology and limited experience with the cameras features. That said I suppose this review could be considered feedback from the general consumer. As the occasional and casual user I was looking for a camera that would be compact easy to use would take great photos...basically a point-and-shoot camera for dummies. The S210 actually packs a good bit of features into such a small camera and I found myself seduced by the price $159 at the time of purchase but I found myself getting lost in the multitudes of menus and settings. I read most of the manual to try and familiarize myself with how this camera works and how best to use it but many of the features were ones I probably would never use. I didnt care for the start-up. It seems to take a bit longer than other cameras Ive used which made it a bit annoying when trying to catch a quick random moment. The power button is tiny and right next to the shutter button so there were a few times when I meant to take a photo and ended up turning the camera off by accident. I had a few choice words for myself and the camera in those instances. Shutter speed also seemed a bit slow in comparison and I didnt like how unprotected the lens and its mechanisms were. It would turn out I would have a good reason to worry. My husband and I took a trip to Playa del Carmen and when I took out the camera and turned it on the lens only partially extended retracted back into the camera and the screen said "Lens Error" and then promptly shut off. I had used it a week prior to our vacation with no problems and when we traveled I kept it in a hard case and carried it in my purse so as not to crush or jumble it. As anal retentive as I am I can swear the camera stayed well protected and was not damaged during travel. I also see that someone else has had the same problem. After a few attempts of turning the camera on hoping whatever is stuck within the lens would correct itself the cheap plastic pieces that make up the lens cover and the outer rim came loose and a sprinkling of plastic and tiny springs went falling to the floor. I had had the camera less than 6 mos. I really wanted a camera while we were in Mexico so we went to an office supply chain and I picked up a Fuji FinePix Z20fd. I mainly chose it because the lens/shutter is protected by a door that slides open to turn the camera on. After using the Fuji it put things in perspective for me and I realized how much I didnt care for the Nikon. The Fuji was more expensive but its much quicker in use and shutter speed takes better photos with 10MP instead of 8MP it seems/feels more substantial in the hand and seems to be better made all around. Overall I feel as though the S210 is trying to be a sophisticated little camera but the cheap price meant they skimped on the materials. Im still feeling the burn of paying for a camera only to have it break in less than 6 mos.
