Nikon Coolpix S205 Red: A High-Performance Digital Camera Review

I have had several digital cameras over the years but this was my first Nikon purchase. I bought from Target on Black Friday and definitely regret the time I wasted waiting in line to get such a bad camera. I liked the size, color and price, as well as the presence of a rechargeable battery. This purchase was a gift for my 11 year old daughter. I made sure I got the case right away. Well, the damn LCD inside the case broke and the camera became unusable. First, you'll notice that unlike most…

This camera offers many features at an affordable price. I'm a longtime Canon fan and was pleasantly surprised by the ease of use and quality. I bought this camera for my wife and I so that we don't have to carry a large camera with us when we travel.

This camera packs a lot of electronic magic into a small body at a good price. This is the ooze of years of good Nikon innovation.

This is a hobby camera or just in case camera. And for that purpose it works very well. The image quality is excellent for outdoor shots in good light. If you're a bit photography savvy, you…

Well, like the first review, I bought it on Black Friday. In fact, I bought two different cameras and now I'm choosing which one is better. I decided to "up the ante" for comments on the quality of the photos. My old camera is Samsung L60. Great little camera but beat up and dated. So I figured I'd capitalize on yesterday's sales. So I took a series of photos with each camera while sitting on the couch to have a real comparison. Here's what I found out. A window shot of a leafless tree at…
