(3 stars) - Somewhat Disappointed
The main reason I bought the Nikon Coolpix S710 it's because it seems to have all the gadgets that a camera offers, small,easy to use, price was right and lots of cool features like the auto scene selector function. I was looking for a camera that's quick and easy to use "just aim and shoot" for graduations, birthdays and weddings. I've seen the video promotion online of what this camera can do with all the features and the color quality was unbelievable. But when I got the camera and tried it for 3 weeks I could not get it to take decent pictures. It doesn't matter if it was a nice sunny day or at a party at night the pictures came out rather orange looking and I was using the auto scenes selector function. It was a big disappointment!! I also owned a Kodak EasyShare camera(got it as a gift)but it didn't take very good picture it always come too dark not enough light even with flash on. But comparing the Kodak EasyShare and the Nikon Coolpix S710 picture for picture the Kodak EasyShare takes better pictures than the Nikon Coolpix S710, so I returned the camera back to Amazon.com for a full refund. Oh, it also freezes while viewing pictures, had to remove the battery and re-insert it to make it work again.

(1 stars) - Faulty hardware, mediocre quality
I purchased this camera over a year ago, enticed by the amount of features it had and its high megapixel count. Upon receiving it, I found the pictures to be especially grainy, but otherwise not terrible. Within a month, however, my battery stopped working correctly, forcing me to reset all settings for the camera (including date, time, exposure, etc) every single time I turned it on. In addition, as I tried it in more lighting situations, I found that the noise problem is horrible. Unless shooting outdoors or with a flash, the photos are incredibly noisy without fail.

I returned the camera to Nikon, and had to wait about 2 months before I got another one (I actually had to contact them and re-submit my inquiry 2 months after sending them my camera!). This new one started behaving weird after a week; its autofocus function only works for the first exposure you take on powering on the camera. I submitted another support request, and am hopefully getting rid of this piece of junk asap.

So, now I have a "point and shoot" that is anything but. I really don't recommend this product, as there are far, far better models on the market (even other Nikons). There isn't a single feature worth all this trouble.

(5 stars) - Great camera
Got it for my wife....small, light, panoramic, SD card....fits in your pocket. Balances my Nikon D 300...

(4 stars) - Camera review
Great camera and easy to use. We carry it every where we go. The photo quality on the high resolution is great for print work. My kids love it.

(4 stars) - Great quality!
I love this camera! The picture quality in the camera screen is ok, but when you transfer to the computer, you can really see what a great resolution this camera has. Cons: Nighttime pictures aren't so good with normal seetings, you might want to play with the features a bit until you find what works best for you. Turn off the automatic flash for day pictures, they will come out much better... people won't look so white.
