Nikon Coolpix S230 Reviews: Digital Compact Camera

+ Small and compact camera easy to use on the large screen

- pain in the but if you loose the stylus pen supplied, why not finnger touch. Not an easy camera to use if u are older, in that advertised as easy, Also icons on the screen too busy, and too small for the older person.

+ good night time pics on sunset mode

- battery/memory card cover door constantly pops open at the slightest touch.
cant see the image that well on the lCD screen in daylight, the lack of optical view finder exacerbates problem.
tricky to navigate backwards and forwards from one scene function to another.
Scene icons on menu page not always self explanatory, unless you are using the camera on a very regular basis you would never remember what all the icons were for, by the time you seek an explanation the photo opportunity has usually passed.

+ Bought this for my 12 year old daughter on her birthday. Her first digital camera - she took to it like a duck to water and absolutely loves it. Very very easy to use. Fabulous, vibrant colour. Good images and lots of additional features that make this little gem a delight!

- We haven't found one yet!

+ Good image quality outside in daytime
BIG screen which gains up in low light
Many picture styles and effects including in camera editing
Small and pocketable

- Touch Sceen very inconsistent, needing the lightest touch for some actions but at times needing a very firm press. Not in the same class as a Tom Tom SatNav screen
Slow start up
Lengthy and noticeable shutterlag and shot to shot time
Flimsy zoom switch around shutter release felt thin and sharp and not very well made and could easily break.
Battery / SD card cover comes open when handling the camera
Digital image stabilisation ineffective

+ A good small camera, fits in the pocket easily and takes good pictures

- Touch screen takes a bit of getting used to

+ Beautiful design
Easy to use
Hard wearing
Sensetive touchscreen so you odnt need to hammer it to get it to work
Highly recommended as very good camera for very good price

- No animal setting / mode

+ Fits pocket and th e entire rear of camera ia a 3 inch screen. Even as a compact, it has blink & vibration elimination. Also touch screen is fool proof.

- No protective case provided.
