  Not bad
When I first received camera I thought it was going to be complicated to use.
Upon using it I found it pretty easy to use. At first I was going to return it
but change my mine after getting acustomed to it.
Nikon S-70 Camera
We bought this camera for it's features and looks. Had to return it -- wouldn't take a charge. The next one -- same problem ! TWICE BURNT Having paid $230.+, we ONLY got $179.99 credited back to us -- 80%!!! I've done a lot of shopping at ' Amazon'in the past. This is how we got rewarded for THEM sending us faulty merchandise. THANK YOU, AMAZON.COM, we're shopping elsewhere from now-on !!!
horrible pictures
I had a Sony Cybershot that got dropped and unfortunately needed replaced. I wanted a touch screen and after reading reviews went with this camera. I have had it several months and am horribly disappointed. I just returned from vacation and the pictures are just all horrible. After comparing them with last years pictures and am contacting Nikon because it is just sad how all my pictures look.
Like turned to love!
I will admit, I purchased this camera just becuase of the commercial (and I love Nikon's!) and the picture quality is AMAZING! I had a bit of trouble at first getting all the settings right, but once I learned how the camera behaved, I have been happy ever since! Many of the negative reviews are because of picture quality and I can't say how strongly I disagree with that. The 12.1 plus the features of the Nikon make for a superb picture! The one downfall that I can't get over, but is easy to accommodate is that I cannot turn the camera around and take a picture of my husband and I without hitting a setting on the screen. It isn't comfortable to work this way, but that isn't what it was made for!
I wanted to like this, but it's so flawed
When I saw the camera in action, I really wanted to like it. I liked all the features it had to offer, but every feature did not work properly. This camera is inherently flawed. For every pro there is a con. I did not want to believe the negative reviews on amazon, but I wish I had. I ultimately had to return it because it just simply does not work as advertised.
Pro (with it's con)
- big OLED touchscreen. ( that's awesome, but the resolution is so poor, it really is an eyesore to look at. Colors look nice, but they do not truly represent the photo when transferred to a computer)
- touch controls, virtually no buttons except the shutter. Controls include iPhone like pinch to zoom and swiping through picture functionality. (this feature would be nice had they either put better hardware in the camera or made the firmware more efficient. The controls are so slow and unresponsive, it will make you downright mad. Touch focus is horrific and never works as it is supposed to. Also, no dedicated power button means you must open the lens up to turn it on, even to review pictures. Come on, that's ridiculous.)
-high resolution sensor capable of taking HD 720p video. (I should live with the afformemtioned flaws above, but it must do it's primary function well, taking a nice clear picture. This camera does not. The pictures look simply bad. My 5 year old Sanyo Xacti digicam takes superior pictures to this camera. This is not an exaggeration. Pictures are not properly set up by the camera, and are often taken incorrectly. Previewing the pictures on the camera show rich vibrant color, but transferring them to a computer show them to be dull, with improper color representation. Video is no better. It looks to be captured via motion jpeg format. Framerates are bad, colors look as dull and misrepresented as in stills. Also, no optical zoom while shooting video. Just everything wrong going on here.)
A few nice things that I really can't complain about is the build quality is superb. Also, the all interenal optics is great so if you are storing it in a purse or pocket, the lens will not protrude accidentally causing harm to the camera. This cannot make up for the fact that a) it's primary function, taking pictures is severly flawed, and b) Its main selling point, the huge multitouch OLED display looks horrific and does not Function properly.
I honestly cannot recommend this item, and would recommend a comparable camera from another manufacturer.
