 Love my coolpix Jun 08, 2010
I love my coolpix. I think it takes great pictures, is easy to use and is so portable. I also purchased a Coolpix for a friend and she had nothing but great things to say about it. I have read reviews about blurry pictures, but this has not been a problem for me. I would recommend the coolpix, I couldn't be happier.
 Frustrated by photo quality May 24, 2010
Although in theory this camera comes with some great features, I am very disappointed. I had a Coolpix 4800 for several years, and despite the fact that it boasted only 4 MP, i feel that the photos were far superior to the ones i am getting out of the s630. I was excited to find another nikon with a lot of zoom, and expected the same quality as what i had previously. Unfortunatly, i was dissapointed.
Outdoors the colors are great and crisp, but i have yet to shoot an indoor shot that makes me really happy. as a mom taking pics of her kids all the time, this is frustrating beyond words. the colors take on an unnatural reddish orangey hue, and i constantly get blurring, even with image stabilization. I have tried Auto mode and scene selecter and every type of scene possible, but no matter what i do, the color quality is just off and fuzziness common. After several months i finally figured out that the best way to get my kids and not worry about them moving and therefore blurring or getting that ghostly motions quality, as they invariably do, is to use sports mode, but then the camera drops to 3MP. As a result the photos are not really crisp, which when buying a camera with as many MP as this one has regularly, it's once again, frustrating. On the plus side, I have the red one, which is really fun looking, and i love the size and the zoom is pretty close to my old 4800 (which drowned last summer :-( and is no longer working). Also, it's really comfortable in a hand of my size and has a nice thumbgrip intentation.
**Update: After writing this review i realized how truly annoyed i am about my photos, so i actually contacted Nikon through their website and attached two of my photos as examples of their poor quality. They actually told me what to change in my setting to hopefully fix the problem. I shot a few pictures which actually seem much better, but it's too soon to tell. I will be taking lots of pictures in the days to come and if i see a difference, i will come back, change the rating and let you know how to adjust the menu for better pics!**
 Can't take pictures of anything purple - good camera otherwise Apr 15, 2010
This is a good little camera for quick trips to family outings or sites where you don't want to lugg a big camera along. The main problem I have with this camera is it doesn't pick up purple hues and captures them as blue. I bought the camera to take pictures of my projects and to post on my website but now I have to figure out another camera to purchase that will capture purples since that is one of my most popular selling colors. USB port door is a little flimsy and the zoom is a little too fast. Overall this is a good camera for someone that is looking for something to take casual pictures and isn't too serious about the picture quality.

My opinion - Nikon Coolpix S630--any suggestions ?? Apr 11, 2010
The Nikon Coolpix S-630 , takes great outdoor Portrait or Landscape pictures
On the other hand ; having much difficulty getting a good quality indoor picture under almost any lighting situation... flash or no flash
in these situations the pics. come out very yellow and fuzzy
Also wondering if other owner users are hearing the same ratcheting noise while the camera trys to focus.
I have read the manuel & tryed the many settings options -still a disappointment in picture quality !
Really like to hear any feedback from other owners on this issue !
Ive had H/P & Kodak low cost point & shoot cameras, much older products that took much better all around pics w/such ease of operation !
Expected much more from the Nikon.

Researcher of Products Apr 08, 2010
I just purchased this camera after returning the Fuji FinePix waterproof camera $129.00.
This camera is just fantastic. The speed of taking pictures is incredible (no waiting between shots).
I have an expensive high end Oympus and wanted a small camera to take quick shots. This camera is just the answer.
I can snap clear/perfect shots at a moments notice while on the move and never again miss a shot while the camera is focasing as I did with my high end camera.
I had considered the Cannon ELF 12MP and the Sony Cyber Shot 12MM, both great cameras, but am glad I decided on the Nikon CoolPix 12MP. This camera was recommended by a professional photographer friend of mine.
My friend also recommended a well padded case. This is for 2 reasons, first so the lens does not get knocked out of alignment while in a pocket, purse, or belt and second, a well padded case will gradually absorb any humidity/moisture and keep the camera dry.
