- O.K. camera...until it broke.
I'll start by saying that this is my first camera review. I'm also a big ol' noob (novice) when it comes to cameras, so please forgive my lack of concise terminology and limited experience with the camera's features. That said, I suppose this review could be considered feedback from the general consumer.

As the occasional and casual user, I was looking for a camera that would be compact, easy to use, would take great photos...basically a point-and-shoot camera for dummies. The S210 actually packs a good bit of features into such a small camera and I found myself seduced by the price ($159 at the time of purchase), but I found myself getting lost in the multitudes of menus and settings. I read most of the manual to try and familiarize myself with how this camera works and how best to use it, but many of the features were ones I probably would never use.

I didn't care for the start-up. It seems to take a bit longer than other cameras I've used, which made it a bit annoying when trying to catch a quick, random moment. The power button is tiny and right next to the shutter button, so there were a few times when I meant to take a photo and ended up turning the camera off by accident. I had a few choice words for myself and the camera in those instances. Shutter speed also seemed a bit slow in comparison and I didn't like how unprotected the lens and its mechanisms were. It would turn out I would have a good reason to worry.

My husband and I took a trip to Playa del Carmen and when I took out the camera and turned it on, the lens only partially extended, retracted back into the camera and the screen said "Lens Error" and then promptly shut off. I had used it a week prior to our vacation with no problems and when we traveled, I kept it in a hard case and carried it in my purse, so as not to crush or jumble it. As anal retentive as I am, I can swear the camera stayed well protected and was not damaged during travel. I also see that someone else has had the same problem. After a few attempts of turning the camera on hoping whatever is stuck within the lens would correct itself, the cheap plastic pieces that make up the lens cover and the outer rim came loose and a sprinkling of plastic and tiny springs went falling to the floor. I had had the camera less than 6 mos.

I really wanted a camera while we were in Mexico, so we went to an office supply chain and I picked up a Fuji FinePix Z20fd. I mainly chose it because the lens/shutter is protected by a door that slides open to turn the camera on. After using the Fuji, it put things in perspective for me and I realized how much I didn't care for the Nikon. The Fuji was more expensive, but it's much quicker in use and shutter speed, takes better photos with 10MP instead of 8MP, it seems/feels more substantial in the hand and seems to be better made all around. Overall, I feel as though the S210 is trying to be a sophisticated little camera, but the cheap price meant they skimped on the materials. I'm still feeling the burn of paying for a camera, only to have it break in less than 6 mos.

- Best camera for easy use
This is my third digital camera and this is the best, hands down! It does virtually everything perfectly, e.g. night, backlight, inside and even beautiful video at night to boot. Others who have been with me while vacating were amazed at the quality. One person had an $800 Canon and wasn't able to get the quality in some environments and his camera required a lotta adjustments.

If you want something easy to use with great quality pix, you won't regret buying this unit.

- Good product ... good value
Bought this for my daughter ... so far we've both been pleased with the product and it's value. Of course it's Nikon ... I'd not expect less.

- Terrific & fun little camera!
I hate taking pictures and I always have to learn any new electronic device that we buy. This camera was for my wife and she easily understood everything she needed to take some great pictures. It really is a great little camera.
