Product Description
Capture all those special moments in life with the Coolpix S210 from Nikon! This ultra-compact camera comes with a sensitivity range going up to 2000 ISO, guaranteeing pictures that are bright and packed with details. The Coolpix S210 also has an 8-megapixel CCD sensor and a 3x Nikkor optical zoom, which adapt to different shooting conditions. The Coolpix S210 comes with three unique innovations from Nikon: a face-priority autofocus that concentrates on faces and not backgrounds; D-Lighting, which creates impressive results by compensating for strong shadows; and in-camera red-eye correction. The Coolpix S210 even includes an electronic vibration reduction system, which combats the effects of camera shake to guarantee clarity even in low lighting conditions, and an Expeed processor that guarantees perfect image quality. At just 18 mm thick, the Coolpix S210 is available in a range of different colours, so you can pick the one which best reflects your sense of style.

 Frustrating November 15, 2008
I am pleased with the camera itself but didn't appreciate that delivery was from the Netherlands. As such, the instructions, which appear comprehensive, come in 4 languages but none of them are English. In addition, the battery charger power lead comes with a european pin plug. A UK plug was enclosed but you either need to change the plug yourself or use an adaptor. None of this was apparent when I ordered the camera and whilst not a serious problem, it was certainly frustrating.
 20+ days for delivery September 10, 2008

I find Amazon UK really good for buying books, also the Marketplace, deliveries are always on time. Driven by this efficiency I always got from them, I committed a big mistake: I bought this camera from Amazon UK on 21st of August 2008, together with a leathercase and a flashcard. Today is 10th of September 2008, and I still didn't get the camera from them (the leathercase and flashcard arrived on time, from 3rd party sellers). I've contacted Amazon several times but they keep promising the product will be delivered and nothing happens. They can't really do something to help you. If thinking about buying a camera, it is better to go to a shop, unless you want to feel frustrated for 20+ days.

....early, and there was no point leaving it in its box with the gtee running. A really cool-looking camera, that my 16yr old had up and running in minutes, without the need for instructions.
Unfortunately (for me) the pics are of such quality, that I look clearly terrible in the pics he's taken - which is a good thing, as it's gotten me onto a diet! It hooks up to the tv so you can record and play immediately all that's going on, and the video quality is superb. Amazon was definitely the cheapest at 94, as it is widely on sale for 118.
A great buy.
great camera, perfect for holiday usage July 27, 2008

I have a Nikon SLR D80 camera which is regarded by nearly all reviewers as the no1 SlR mid-range camera to own. We also owned a trendy pink canon Ixus camera for compactness eg holiday nights out etc. the canon was terriable, slow, bad battery, several returns to canon for repairs. This nikon is cheap cheerful and great pics, for the price its fantastic and in 18 months or 2 years if i need a new one well for 100 outlay ive got my moneys worth from this 210 ...great buy and soo compact, a real gem
 Very disappointing camera July 5, 2008

Having been delighted with a Nikon Coolpix 3100 for the last 4 years my brother and I decided to upgrade to a new Coolpix when the battery compartment cover started to break on the old camera. We thought that we would stick with the trusted Coolpix brand, so went for the S210.
However we could not have been more disappointed. Having taken nearly 200 pictures each, and having tried various settings and scene modes, we both discovered that the wonderful crispness of the pictures on our old Coolpix was sadly lacking on this new model. In the majority of pictures the focusing was only crisp in the centre of the picture. As you moved to the outside of the pics you got increased blur - and that was with the vibration reduction switched ON and even on static objects. There was also a good deal of chromatic aberration (bluish-purple edging) in high contrast areas. This may be down to our lack of photographic know-how...but even if that is the case, this camera is most certainly not a point-and-shoot - not if you want to get any kind of decent results without having to fiddle with manual settings. The camera really struggled with focusing indoors and most of those pics ended up more blurred than the outdoor ones. The pics may well be OK for 6x4 prints, but certainly not any good if you want to blow them up.
On top of that both of us encountered "lens error" problems while on holiday in Cyprus only 3 weeks after purchase, and that was with the cameras in a padded case, so no chance of sand intrusion. In the case of my camera I was able to power off and then back on and that seemed to fix the problem. The same thing worked for my brother the first time it happened, but the next time the lens error was terminal. The camera was toast for the rest of the holiday.
When we took the camera into a photo shop in Larnaca a passing Canon rep pointed out the slimness of the Nikon camera and the resulting vulnerability of the lens mechanism.
We have now returned both cameras to Amazon and are now considering going for the Canon IXUS 80 IS, which seems to have much better reviews.
