Advantages: high quality pictures
Disadvantages: very high battery usage

found this camera to be easy to use though the instruction booklet could be a little overwhelming for a novice user. the high quality of the pictures was good even suprisingly when set at low resoulution. this has the disadvantage of needing a memory card if you wish to take more than 7 pictures when the camera is set at its highest resoulution but it will quite comfatably take 100 + pics on its lowest setting. it has a auto focus zoom lens plus ...
...lcd screen does not do any of your photos justice. has the feature to print out direct from the camera with any compatible printer without the need for a pc. the biggest dissapointment however is the battery usage. tried rechargables and duracel as well as other brands and got on average 35 pics using the flash on all of them before they where flat. all said and done not a bad camera for the price. i got mine for £50.00 from a major office supply ...

Advantages: Small, grat in low light.
Disadvantages: Not widely available any more.

This is a great compact camera, as I write in October 2008 it still has the best low light performance of any compact. Don't let the fact that it only has 6MP (low by today's standards) put you off. This truly is a great camera. Ideal for social situations when the lighting level is low. It's other modes of operation are good, especially the flash mode which takes one picture without flash and one with. This makes it easy to reject and keep the best ... Read review

Advantages: Affordable, Easy to carry, Can shoot movie clips, Zoom function
Disadvantages: Hard to upgrade memory due to new technology

This camera was brought by my father from Japan. Actually we have two of these in the house. And it really is a joy to have two, as we can shoot and shoot. This camera is actually old by now. It does have 3.3 Megapixels when it comes to details, but this camera is by now hard to use. You might want to buy a better camera. But if you want bargain, this should work as well. My father bought two of these for about I don't know, $5 each. So it's a ...
...so bad. And it also has zoom functions to boot. And one great feature of this camera is that it can shoot a 15-second movie clip. Not bad for an old camera eh? Of course, there are several flaws too. When shooting at a dark space, it will appear as if the background is well lit on the camera's LCD. But when transfered to a PC, you can see that it is not that light, and you have to fix the picture just to make it light. Another big constraint is ... Read review

The Nikon Coolpix S210 is a lightweight, slim, compact digital camera available for under a hundred pounds. Its simple design means that it easily fits into a pocket or handbag, or the included wrist strap can be used to carry it around. The screen is a genorous 2.5 inches which makes viewing easy. The Nikon S210 comes with a lithium battery plus charger which saves those agonising moments of realising you need to nip out and buy more batteries. ...
...which could be very painful if you don't carry an extra battery. The optical zoom on this camera is a poor 3x optical zoom or 4x digital zoom, which is much less than most cameras on the market at the same price. The camera is incredibly easy to use, with few buttons and simple instructions. The on/off button is frustratingly close to the shutter button however. The pictures are sharp and clear, and the camera is able to detect faces and focus ... Read review
