Anyone have a Nikon Coolpix?

Re: Anyone have a Nikon Coolpix?

  • Which one are you looking at? I work in Electronics at Target and I talk about those all the time. They are our most popular selling cameras!

    I'm not sure yet. I'm thinking the 10 mp one that's 149 I think? I was actually looking at it today at Target!

  • Yes. I have the S630, and I LOVE it! Takes great shots, small and easy to handle, great editing features already built-in, etc.
    I give mine 4 stars.
  • hate mine with a passion and a half.  the shutter time takes FOREVER, so i'm constantly missing shots. then when i upload the pics onto my computer, some come out split in half, disjointed and discolored.  it's also happened with MIL's and GMIL's coolpix(es?) and we all have different models.  i have the L18, and i know GMIL and MIL have the higher models...

  • I returned my S230 after a month. The pictures were always blurry, it didn't matter what setting I used. I love my Nikon D40, but I would not recommend a point and shoot.

    Ditto a million times.  HATE IT.  I would be happy if I could convince every person that I know not to buy this camera, it's awful.  I had a Canon Powershot before (comparable in price) and it was wonderful.  Mine is the 10 megapixel.  Get the Canon instead.  I promise it's so much better.

    So is it mainly the shutter time thing that's a problem? I ask because that's the issue with my current camera and I can't stand it, which is why I want a new one. I was looking into the Coolpix because I've heard the picture quality is amazing,  but I hate when I can't get the shot I want because the camera takes too long so that would be a major issue for me.

  • I just saw this, not sure if you are still checking it, but wanted to respond.  It's mostly the shutter speed that sucks.  I miss so many pictures because it's so freaking slow.  But it's also the software with loading the pictures.  Half the time it doesn't even recognize that I have new pictures to upload.  I PROMISE the Canon Powershot is so much better.  I would have stuck with this, but it was stolen and the sales guy convinced me that the Coolpix was better, so I went with it.  I swear I have told DH a dozen times that I wish this one would get stolen so that I could go back to the Canon :(
