 GREAT Auto Focus Camera May 3, 2010

I purchased a $400 Canon auto-focus, image-stabilizer camera about 2 1/2 years ago and hated it from "Day One." My husband claimed it was "operator error," until he tried changing every setting to see if he could get it to take decent pictures. We finally gave up and bought a new camera about one month ago: the Nikon S8000 from amazon.com. I couldn't be happier. The pictures are awesome with or without the telephoto. Unlike my Canon, the Nikon takes nice pictures in low light situations, or when shooting into the sun (with flash turned "on.") The controls are very intuitive and I like the "scene" feature to tell the camera if you are taking a portrait, landscape, night portrait, indoor shot, beach/snow, sunset, dusk/dawn, night landscape, close-up (such as a picture of a flower), etc. The only negatives I have found are the placement of the flash (as noted by previous reviewers); it's in an awkward place where some people would normally place their left index finger to hold on to the top of the camera. I also find that the LCD screen is very hard to see in bright (outdoor) light, even when adjusted to the brightest setting it can be. However, I can live with a few minor inconviences as this camera takes just awesome pictures! I have always loved Nikon cameras and wished my husband had NEVER talked me into the Canon. After two+ years, I am finally ENJOYING photography again!
UPDATE -- JULY 21, 2010: I just returned from an Alaskan cruise and am still in love with this camera. My pictures are incredible and the various scene selectors were very helpful. I would encourage anyone purchasing this camera to also buy a second battery (and keep a fully charged second battery on hand at all times). When you receive the low battery indicator, you only have about one or two more photos you can shoot, so there's not a lot of warning that your battery is low. I charged up both of my batteries every night while on the cruise (took 500 pictures in seven days) so I was always ready for a full day of sightseeing and picture taking.
Good-looking, fast-acting May 9, 2010

Got this as a replacement for an earlier Coolpix camera. The features/buttons were the same, and the shutter speed and picture quality are much improved over my earlier camera. The only downside - battery life. My initial use was on a trip to Sweden, and I ran the battery down before the first full day of picture-taking. So, while I'd recommend the camera, I'd also say to buy a second battery to swap during a long day of sightseeing and picture taking!
Best camera of this type April 24, 2010

I have lots of cameras, including a another Nikon and a Canon 50D. I bought this for my wife's use, but use it some myself, because it's so easy to stick in the pocket and shoot.
The image quality is very good. The Camera is well made and the zoom range with minimal distortion for this camera type is great. I am satisfied, BUT, I hate the flash placement-I still find my finger on the top of the flash and I have to manually bring it up to position. I also dislike having to charge the battery in the camera. All considered, knowing what I know after using the camera, I'd buy it again.
Nicest quality camera i've owned April 9, 2010

I'm not an expert when it comes to dealing with cameras but i'll do my best to describe my experience with it. Before this camera, I owned a cheap olympus and a fuji film camera. Quality wise, this is better than all of them. Pictures and videos are very smooth on this camera. There is however, one slightly annoying problem. During video mode, there's a light beeping sound that doesn't go away. For the most part, it's not an issue with me because I mostly use it to take pictures and if I want to make an extensive home video, I'll use a camcorder. For the price, this is a very good deal considering most camera's that contain 14.1 mp for each pic usually cost more than this camera.
Good camera June 21, 2010

I agonized over this purchase, comparing, comparing, comparing. I wanted a small, reasonably light weight idiot camera to carry with me all the time. Something to slip into my pocket, to do simple snaps. This camera performs well, given that it's an all-in-one sort of camera. I think some of the pros who rate these little cameras are too hard on them. NO camera is going to be so easy to use your 98 y.o. granny can create 30" x 48" photos of startling clarity with no grain while shooting inside the living room closet with the door closed, all while weighing less than a hummingbird (the camera, not granny), and small enough to fit in your credit card holder. Oh, and I want a 30x zoom, please. The controls are intuitive, and I specifically wanted a camera without a touch screen. I don't want greasy fingerprints all over my view finder. The view finder is nice & large. The battery, while exclusive, lasts a long time. My larger canon, which I like very much, sucks down AA batteries like candy. The only complaint I have is that Nikon didn't include any sort of case. I had to buy one, along with an SD card.
