Nikon Coolpix S3000 12 MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Vibration Reduction (VR) Zoom and 2.7-Inch LCD (Black)
- 12.0 megapixels for stunning prints as large as 16 x 20 inches

Take one superior shot after another with Nikon's sharp shooting, sharp looking COOLPIX S3000. As a matter of fact, built with Smart Portrait and Auto Scene technology (i.e. fool proof), you'll have to try pretty hard to take a bad shot with this bad boy. And if looks count, well the S3000 will keep your audience captive with its sleek metal body and contemporary colors. As a matter of fact, this camera is so goodlooking, it makes Ashton look ugly. (Yeah, right.)

I’m a photographer from way back, old school, always a proponent of film cameras. This is my first digital, bought it specifically so I can shoot images and upload to sell on eBay.
I’m a believer. This camera is very easy to use, easy to set up, and takes really good photos. I picked it specifically because it was 12MP, for better quality images, and Nikon, because their optics have always been so good.
It’s user friendly, intuitive controls. I barely looked at the instruction booklet. And, a snap to upload images to my computer.
Pictures are really sharp, almost look 3 dimensional. I’m having a lot of fun just playing around with it.
Was a great value for the price, too.
If you’re looking for a quality point and shoot digital, you can’t go wrong with this one.

Small sleek and nice camera, response time is great for the price of camera and nikon has improved a lot on the photo quality.
The only problem i did not like was it did not have a wall charger for the battery, the camera has to be connected to the charger to charge which i did not like, otherwise and overall a very nice point and shoot camera…..

I liked my Nikon Coolpix 2100, so when it died(the on/off/shutter/telephoto quit working) I bought the CoolpixS3000. So far so good, it does a lot of things, reading the manual….trying it out. Happy so far!

Before I bought this camera I did a lot of research on digital cameras. I narrowed it down to three brands. Canon, Nikon, and Sony. It took a very long time to make a decision since I didn’t want to buy crap. I eventually settled in the Nikon brand because I am very familiar with its features and camera functions. I was replacing a cheaper older model of a Nikon Coolpix L10. So, I was definitely going spend a little over $100 for this camera, but then again cameras have come a long way since the 2007. Even if I didnt buy the S3000 I knew I would get something better than my older camera due to the advancement of the compact camera technology.
This camera is great for everyday/events picture taking. After having the camera for a few days, I tested it out when I went to a family reunion. I got many compliments and inquiries about where i got the camera from. I believe I took about 100 pics in the two days spanning the family reunion.
Camera Features:
I took pics using a wide variety of the camera’s features. The micro mode was pretty cool, the camera was able to focus on the subject and the picture did not come out blurry.
It was pretty easy to take a pic in panorama mode. At first when I took the pics that would make up the panorama pic, I wasnt sure how the whole pic would come out, but the panorama maker software that comes with the did wonders. Once you out the pieces of the panorama pic in the correct order the software makes the panorama picture for you. Now that I know that I made a great panorama photo I will be using this feature very much in the future.
This camera definitely tells you if someone blinked in the photo after the photo has been taken and you can always opt to take another pic. Continuous shot selecter is also a nice feature. You can choose to take 3 continuous shots or 16 continuous. Pics in low-light or darkness are excellent and always give light exposure buy the flash and orange light on the front of the camera. I took a picture in my room with the only source of light in the room being light from a television and the picture came out as if a ceiling light was on.
Other features that are nice are skin-softening, smart portrait(recognizes faces), 17 scene modes including panorama, subject tracking
Video:
For a compact camera, the video quality was great. The sound quality was also excellent inside the video too. Playback on my laptop was seamless. You could hear words and sentences very well in the background of the video. It’s NOT HD, but I could make out everyone in the video and nothing at all was blurry.
Battery is a plus since you can charge it, as oppose to change AA batteries all the time. The charge is very short as well.
Definitely get a case for this camera, it is very compact, slim, and small. I have a case logic compact digital camera case. I bought my case at Walmart for $7 and cents. I feel like my camera is very well protected.
Overall I am very happy with my purchase of the Nikon Coolpix s3000. Its a great everyday camera for the busy college student or for someone who just wants to capture life’s moments.
Definitely buy this camera, it well worth your money and you will not be disappointed.

The Nikon S3000 arrived in quick time and in good shape. The only problem I have with Nikon is NO MANUAL. es, there is one on line but that’s amess and too much to print out. I asked Nikon for a printed copy $9.00 but they said “OUT OF PRINT”
I am from the old school and like to have a manual.
