Review on Nikon COOLPIX S3100 14MP Digital Camera with 5x Wide-Angle NIKKOR Optical Zoom Lens and 2.7" LCD Display (Blue) by Tropingzz Cece

Revainrating 4 out of 5

If in doubt, read the manual.

I received my camera from Revain this afternoon. The first shots I took with it were blurry, as were some of the previous reviews I've read. But then I said to myself that Nikon has been making great cameras for years. So if that's the problem, it's probably me and not the camera. The camera does not come with an operating manual, just a quick start guide that does not go into detail about the various settings. A full instruction manual is available on the Nikon website. One day I read the instructions and figured out how to set up the camera so that the image stabilization and autofocus work properly and other settings don't conflict, everything was fine! If you buy this camera thinking it's going to be a simple point and shoot camera, it isn't. But that doesn't mean you can't take great pictures once you figure out the settings. Also, I should add that I'm not a professional photographer, not even close, but I was able to set up this camera to take great pictures. So if you are also an amateur photographer, don't be afraid to buy this camera. I'm only giving this camera four stars instead of five because I haven't had it long enough to learn all the features.

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • Long delivery time
