Stylish, Convenient Photographic Excellence
Color: Purple
Ever since I got my first Coolpix camera several years ago, I've realized the special joy of having a camera capable of recording high definition videos and photos everywhere I go. This is the camera I love to carry in a pocket or purse, and thanks to its gorgeous color and design, it's a welcome fashion accessory in addition to being extremely useful! I purchased this camera after dropping my older Coolpix camera while on vacation, and selected it because it is somewhat similar to my camera which was one of the first Coolpix cameras, without being too new and different. I like the way this Coolpix still has the familiar wheel of button controls where I can set the flash, close-up lens, date, time and so forth. I'm gradually learning my way around the newer features, many of which I'm still not fully up to speed with, such as utilizing special effects. I'm starting to enjoy how easy it is to switch from taking still shots to recording video, since it's no longer a matter of making menu selections, but rather simply involves hitting the record video button. The quality of videos and photos is the same excellent Nikon quality I've come to know and love. While some people may be put off by a delay in readiness when getting ready to take photos, I find for most purposes this camera is ready for action when needed. I love the way this S3500 includes stabilization, so when I used the zoom and took pictures of Mount Shasta out of the airplane window on a recent flight, my pictures were surprisingly sharp and clear. I haven't yet made much use of the touch screen on this S3500, as it's not one of the features I desired... but at some point I might get used to it. Truthfully, I have yet to try most of the fancy bells and whistles on this little point and shoot camera! It was so easy to start using right out of the box that I never did play the DVD movie it came with. I expect at some point I may get around to doing that, but I think it says a lot for good product design that this little camera is so easy to get up and running without instructions they're something you can do when you have time and inspiration for such things. Highly recommended! ... show more

great, versatile, easy-to-use camera!
Color: Purple
We got this camera for our daughter- she's only eight, but very interested in photography and we wanted to get her a gift that she'd enjoy but she'd also get a lot of use out of. She's been using our iPhones as a camera for years so we figured a small digital camera (with no apps or phone capabilities) might be a good gift. This is a *nice* camera. First and foremost, it's tiny. The last time I had a digital camera, it was large, bulky, and heavy. This camera is about the size of a deck of playoing cards (but thinner) and much lighter. And when the camera is powered off, the lens retracts back into the camera and is covered, so it can be slid into a pocket without the worry about scratching the lens. It's super easy to use- just power it up, aim, and click. There's a built in flash, optical zoom, plus many on-board feature, including tons of fun filters. My daughter has mastered the camera and all after its capabilities after about twenty minutes of playing with it. The photos she printed out were crisp and clear. After years of using the iPhone as my go-to camera, I forgot how nice it is to have a camera that zooms optically, takes clear photos every time, and has a decent flash. I'm tempted to get one of these for myself since I tend to take a lot of photos and having to take at least five every time with the iPhone to get a clear photo is a huge time waster. At the size and price, it's very tempting. Highly recommended. ... show more

VERY Slow, HORRIBLE photo quality
Color: Silver
I'm an avid photographer, in no way an amateur, and have owned many cameras over the years. I probably upgrade about once every 1-2 years. I chose this one because it was under a hundred bucks which was a great price. I also liked the upgrade from my 16 megapixel to this 20 megapixel. However, this is the SLOWEST camera I've ever used! It takes 10-15 seconds between pictures to be able to take another one, which almost defeats the purpose of taking a picture. After taking another reviewer's advice, who suggested using a name brand or higher quality memory card might fix the problem with the slowness, it DID help with that issue a little bit. It at least made the wait time between photos a little less frustrating. After using this camera at Thanksgiving this evening, between all the trouble I had taking the photos to begin with and after getting home and seeing the photos on my computer, I just had to come back here to downgrade my original 3 star rating to a 1 star. We took photos outside around sunset, while there was still plenty of light. Between me and several other people using the camera, every person had issues with it not only being slow, but all the photos kept coming out blurry. Flash on, flash off, it didn't matter (I've never had a camera that took blurry photos with the flash on!). I tried several different settings- auto mode, indoor mode, night mode, sunset mode- the quality of the photos stayed about the same. I just could NOT get them to stop turning out blurry, and everyone was so frustrated we just gave up on taking photos altogether. After putting the photos on my computer, the quality of the photos was surprisingly horrible. They were very blurry, grainy, and either too flashy or too dark. The photos I cropped to bring the subjects of the photos in closer looked like the quality of photos my phone takes! On top of that, the 1 or 2 photos that managed to come out decent enough not to delete had white spots all over the photo- like water spots, or "ghost spots." Very disappointing :(. This was my first try at owning a Nikon, and I can say with certainty I will never be owning one again. I will be reselling this one and I have ordered a Canon to replace it, which I should have done to begin with. I honestly don't think this camera is worth giving a try, even if you get it at a bargain price. ... show more

This will be a long review, spread out over my usage.
Color: Silver
This will be a long review, spread out over my usage - I know I desperately looked around for detailed reviews while buying cameras and so I will pay it forward by sharing of my experience. 11/17/2013: Just got the camera, it looks exactly as its described and on first glance, it seems great. However, on first glance these are the issues - doesn't seem to have a manual mode, unlike my older Canon Powershot SD630 and my newer Canon Powershot SD790 digital elph. What it does have is an 'Auto' mode, a 'Scene Selection' mode with a no. of various 'scenes' such as night, portrait, landscape etc., a 'Special Effects' mode for selecting options like vivid color, high key, sepia, black and white etc. and lastly a 'Smart Portrait' mode where it automatically detects a smile on a face in focus and activates the shutter by itself. (Details on the manual - I am sure you can download it elsewhere). In flash mode, if you set a different color balance other than sunlight, it does not auto compensate and gives a bluish tint if using the flash in other light conditions. The 7x zoom is the prime reason I bought it for, but haven't yet had a chance to fully test it out. More later. 12/25/2012 I have used the camera for slightly over a month. Pl see the pics I uploaded. The following are my observations: a. Time lag between start-up and first shot is slightly high, compared to my Canon SD790 model. It seems to take some time to focus. b. Again, focus issue - sometimes in the middle of a series of shots, it just seems to get lost. The shutter will need to be kept pressed for a few seconds and released, before it responds and focusses again. c. Not having a manual mode and always having to work with preset settings is quite annoying. Again, my slightly 'dumber' Canon SD790 or the older SD660 had a sort of manual mode that gives more flexibility. d. Picture quality is good, though not noticeably better because of the 20.1MP. e. I have noticed that low-light pictures invariably have shake and blur, even pictures taken on twilight conditions have movement blurs. There seems to be image stabilization (I can see the icon) but have not been able to find a way to switch it on or off. Took some pictures under night condition and was not too impressed with the result. Again, the Canons performed better. f. I used this to take a series of macro shots of comic books that I was listing on eBay. Under daylight conditions, these shots were great (with a tendency to blur), but under artificial light conditions (tungsten/fluorescent) the AWB color correction was off, as was the focus. Loads of blur. Increasing the ISO from 100 to 200 and then to 400 lead to significant increase in noise. g. I honestly don't like the preset scenes and would prefer a simpler way of just taking pictures with auto focus. There is a tendency of over compensating, with excess light (over exposures) and color balance. All in all its a good camera but not an absolutely great one. I feel its a great camera for people who want fully automatic settings, but since I prefer having fiddle room, that's not too good for me. Perhaps I am not doing something right. If so, would appreciate any advise via comments. More later ... show more

Second time buying this camera I like it so much!
Color: Red
I've owned this camera for a little over two years but my dog knocked it on the floor-3 feet and broke the display. Even after a good fall on a hard floor, the camera still takes magnificent pictures (you just can't see what you are taking a picture of, lol)!!!!! So, I decided to order another (so now I have one at home and one at school for the kids). Only downside I've ever had with this camera is the lag time between pictures. you can't take multiple pictures in a row but have to wait a few seconds before it will take another. I see in some of the reviews that they say it takes blurry pics...I had this happen but only after playing with the menu buttons. I too was frustrated at first but after resetting the camera, it worked like a charm again! Also, when you download and display in the menu system on your laptop, the pictures appear blurry. However, they view fine in the slideshow, they print, display on web pages, social media, etc. perfectly. Not sure why they are blurry on the download menu system, but my pics have always been clear as a bell. Last thing, I ordered the red this time because it was the cheapest. I am amazed that other colors cost so much more and the only difference is the color! It arrived today and I am a bit concerned about how it was shipped. There was no cushioning in the packaging...it literally came in a flimsy plastic sleeve. The camera and accessories were in the hard plastic, see through packaging like in the stores and the camera was not in the accessory box but displayed in the clear plastic which means very little protection through shipping. I did take a few pics and seems fine but will update this review if problems arise. Veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy fast shipping! Got it a week earlier than expected! ... show more

What a Great Little Camera!
Color: Red
I must have been one of the very few hold outs for getting a digital camera, but since it has become nearly impossible to find a film developing establishment, I decided now is the time to take that leap. Just got this little gem and have been getting acquainted with all its features. For it's size, it seems to do just about everything except wash windows. Very impressed. The set up was easy and for me a pretty low learning curve was involved to get the camera in working order...Do like how easy it is to set the exposure and also to be able to turn off the flash. Zoom and wide angle settings are excellent, and I really do like the ability to take Macro shots. So far my captures have sharp detail. The only draw back I can see at this point is someone with large hands (a big guy perhaps) might find the function buttons difficult to manipulate since they are on the small side. That aside, if you are a casual photographer and are in the market for a digital camera, this is one heck of a camera for the price. ... show more

As described, great condition
Color: Purple
I was skeptical buying a used camera, but with new prices and poor availability these days, what's the choice? I am happy with the purchase. The camera looks pristine, without blemishes, came with original charger and battery and well packaged. Works as it should. That's all I could have asked for. Now I'm considering getting a second one as a backup. I like these small pocket ones for backpacking and hiking. ... show more

There are better products out there
Color: Silver
I recently bought this camera mostly for the increased resolution offered over the one that I had. The resolution is better but many other features are not as good as my previous camera (about 3-4 years old). The night/no-flash pictures are not nearly as good (too blurry), and the pause between pictures is too long. I might be able to play with the camera and change a setting to fix the latter, but I don't like that it's not intuitive to easily fix that (and that the default setting is such a long pause between pictures). Finally, when I rotate the camera and take a picture, the camera doesn't automatically rotate the picture for me when viewing and uploading. I got used to that simple feature on my old camera as well. Bottom line is that it's a decent camera, good resolution pictures (in flash and daylight), and it's well-priced. I'm not even picky about cameras but this one just didn't have enough of what I was looking for. I guess I should have done more research (although I thought I had). ... show more
