Review: Great little Point-and-shooter - I was initially hesitant to buy this camera since there were ZERO reviews to be found, either here at desertcart, 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 desertcart, 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
Review: Nikon Customer Service is Terrible! - 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!!

## 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not as good as Canon 10 mp
*by C***D on April 24, 2011*

Have a canon powershot e1 in need of repair. Bought this to replace it. Figured 12 mp better than 10.... nope. After trying multiple settings, realized that the pix weren't nearly as clear or defined. There was really no comparison. So returned and am getting a replacement part for the canon. In fairness, the camera is very small and the pix were ok. Also, tried a canon 12 mp powershot SD1300 and those pix weren't as good either. Called Canon and discovered that the lens makes a huge difference. Also, 12 mp isn't necessarily better than 10. Note that some high end camera only have 10 mp..... but very good lenses and larger sensors. Basically, small = convenience with a downgrade on resolution. It is a cute, small camera, but if you want really good pix, go with something with a better lens.
