 Pretty good for it is size and features. August 12, 2008

I just want to start from saying that this is not $1000 or more DSLR camera so I did not expect to see high quality pictures when I first bought it. However after taking few images in full sun I was pleased with image quality taking into account small lens and price of the camera (I paid $56 for refurbished one with 90 day Nikon warranty). All pictures came out sharp with true colors. I did not see single one that was blurred. Macro worked fine too. In low light condition story is a little different. It appears that flash fires always with the same power so you need to keep approximately 5" to 6" from the subject all the time to avoid under or overexposed pictures. I got better results (in low light condition) using museum mode (BSS is on). There are lots of things I like about this camera: size, metal body, lens built inside, nice features like 4 assists modes, 15 scene modes, D-lighting, picture editing, voice recording, date imprint, color options, excellent movie modes and many, many more. Everything works as it should (I checked them all). It is easy to use without reading manual (may be to me becasue I own Coolpix 5700). I could wish only for manual mode. I read a lot of complaints about blurry pictures, noise etc. One can set ISO to low value and use tripod to get good pictures. Do not expect that tiny lens to pass enough light so camera sets low ISO and short exposure time avoiding blurry/noisy pictures. I do not think that you can show me better camera in that size and in this price. There is really nothing not to like about this camera, you just need to read manual and experiment with settings to get good results.

I bought the Coolpix S9 in March of 2007--it lasted until June 2008. Just quit working and Nikon wanted $99.50 to repair. I bought a Canon Powershot and donated the Nikon to a camera shop.

Good product. Only problem seems to be the lens position, you have very limited place to hold it with your left hand. Improvement could have been a port to charge the battery without removing it from the camera. Photo quality is not bad, not great either. My 4 year old fuji gives better pictures in low light.
Would NOT recommend! May 22, 2008

I bought this camera a little over a year ago in the magenta color and I loved the way it looked and it had better reviews in the past. Unfortunately, I have discovered the bright color and design of the camera are the only positive things about this camera. The LCD screen scratches easily but the functions of the camera are the worst. The red eye reduction is inconsistent, the picture quality is low for night shots even when set to the correct setting, and the camera takes very blurry pictures--even when the focusing feature is on. I have learned over time to deal with this camera and how to take more focused pictures, but this becomes a problem whenever you have group shots and someone else is taking pictures--they always come out blurry! Therefore, I do not believe this is a user-friendly camera and there are much higher quality cameras compared to this one (such as Canon) available at similar prices. I am currently looking to buy a new camera even after spending $220+ on this camera just a year ago, and I will not be purchasing another Nikon in the future.

Very good price, I like it. At least, all the function I want I get from the camera.
