Happy with this purchase

Bottom line - what I like: 1. Decent macro mode2. It's 12 megapixels, but if you don't need that high resolution or something else to get more photos on your memory card, there are other settings for lower megapixels3. Takes bright, clear pictures4. The flash is great - it doesn't blur like previous cameras I've had5. The touchscreen allows you to press buttons less often to change various settings6. The camera functions are excellent. Good sound. Amazingly clear videos. 7. Slim, lightweight…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Expensive

Slow if you take one picture at a time.

First off you thought the camera was "very cool" and the Amazon description told you all about it. (High image quality, HD video, touch screen, etc.). But after a few weeks and months with the camera, the love affair ends abruptly. When you take pictures one by one, the camera is very slow. You wait a good 3-4 seconds before you can take a second shot. The touchscreen is a great tool, but it's a bit unresponsive. This is definitely not your "iPhone" multi-touch glass. The screen has a slightly…

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • not bad

The camera is fine. - Digital cameras

This camera takes good pictures. Although not very well. Kind of boring. I've used it a lot in concerts and it worked well for what I needed. Then I got a cell phone with a good camera. A year unused. The battery was empty and could not be charged due to deep discharge. I didn't want to buy an external charger so I figured out what to do myself. How to update my Nikon S4000 digital camera to firmware v1.3 for free with dead battery: I had trouble updating my camera. The battery was dead and…

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • disappears

You get what you pay for

I recently bought the S4000 after reading extensive reviews. It really came down to Nikon or Canon S1400. Canon was almost too small, so I went for Nikon. I already had 2 other digital cameras, both Canon, but I needed one that could easily fit in my bag. The purchase coincided with our family trip to Disney World where I took about 1,000 photos. The good first - the size, feel, battery life and 3-inch touchscreen are all positives. It is convenient to use in automatic mode. I had no problem…

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
