This camera is small enough to put into your pocket, it takes great pictures and is easy to switch the shooting mode. the only down side is that it lacks a view finder, you have to use the LCD to compose the picture, when the lighing is bright it is difficult to see the image in the LCD.

What a camrea! It is extremely user friendly and it takes excellent pictures. The large LCD view finder makes it much easier to see what you are capturing and the built in zoom works great. One word of advice, when taking a picture at full zoom, keep the camera completely still or the images appear "grainy"

1.0 out of 5 stars This camera takes the worst indoor pictures, May 14, 2007

This review is from: NIKON Coolpix S2 5.1 Megapixel Digital Camera (Refurbished by Nikon U.S.A.) (Electronics)

I bought this camera thinking: because its a Nikon it will take great pictures. However, I soon discovered that any picture taken indoors with the flash resulted in round dust orbs or spots appearing in the picture. I had no idea what was causing the problem then, after researching it on internet photogrphy sites, I realized it was a reflection from the flash off of microscopic particles in the air. This made the camera virtually useless indoors. When I contacted Nikon's help number, they acted like they never heard of this problem. Then, a look at their website reveled that they were, in fact, aware of the problem but chose to treat it as an acceptable design flaw - bottom line, the flash is located too close to the lens and results in reflective spots whenever the flash is used. I would definitely not recommend this camera to anyone seeking quality indoor photographs.
