I LOVE IT!!, April 1, 2006
Reviewer: J. McCall
I absolutely love this camera. I did my research before purchacing and
what I found has held to be true. The flash is the only issue. It is not
strong enough to take far away shots. This camera is exactly what I wanted
though, a small lightweight camera that takes excellent pictures and I can
carry it almost anywhere!

better, but its features are excellent. Its dimensions are perfect for
taking everywhere, and it's very easy to use.

A good buy, March 1, 2006
Reviewer: Alex Balk
The Nikon S3 has proven to be a good buy. It is affordable yet takes a
quality photo. In addition this camera is easy to use and fits
conveniently in a pocket. This camera has the ranging ability to take both
a simple aim and shoot photo, and at the same time complex skill shots
that is complemented by computer editing and redeye reduction. My only
complaint is as a result of the user. If the camera does not have time to
focus, then the picture quality suffers immensely. This camera has only
been in use for about two months but has not let me down yet!
My rating: 9/10

A near-perfect grab & go camera., February 25, 2006
Reviewer: J. Olin "Joe On the Go"
All digital camera's force you to make trade-offs...it's the hard cruel
fact of personal photography. The Coolpix S3, has been a near perfect grab
and go camera for the four photographers in our family. Picture quality,
to our eyes, is great! When compared to our Rebel XT or D70 cameras, the
S3's shots loose a bit of information but only through comparison to much
more expensive equipment. This camera is VERY easy to use for those new to
digital photography. The pre-programmed scenarios are easy to access and
provide great shots. The camera has proven sturdy, and survived a couple
bumps and bruises without drama. We always keep it in the ballistic nylon
case, though, to protect the screen. I'm convinced that many of the
problems people cite about the S3 (or S1)are the result of unfamiliarity
with using the camera's features more-so than a defect in the camera (save
the white-spot issues which we have not observed to date). Red-eye
reduction is semi effective but no more than in any of the dozen newer
cameras that are in our hobby room. The free online photo editors cure
red-eye much better than any of the in-camera solutions. If you're looking
for a digital camera that can always be at-hand and deliver a great photo,
the S3 should be on your list to check-out!
