From the Manufacturer

Your pictures matter, so show only your best. With its slim design and 6x optical Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens with optical VR Image Stabilization, the COOLPIX S3300 lets you clearly capture everything from close-ups to touchdowns. Press the movie record button and start shooting HD movies in 720p. Then let your friends view it all instantly on the bright 2.7-inch LCD monitor.

From near to far

6x optical Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens

There's a lot that happens in your life that shouldn't be missed. Shoot with a 6x (26mm–156mm) optical Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens to capture close-ups, wide-angle and distance shots for both photos and movies. Shooting movies of the band without a tripod? Zoom in and out on each musician-S3300's optical VR Image Stabilization system minimizes the effects of camera shake in both stills and movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE IT!! March 31, 2012

By Nima

Color Name:Silver

Birthday Present from my mom~ My very first personal camera (I usually use my aunt's canon) and I love it! I'm not a professional photographer but this camera takes really crisp pictures! Zoom is pretty good and the face tracking is really accurate~ Pixels are not all mashed up when you zoom in it warns you when you zoom in too much and you notice the increasing blurriness of the photo. Pictures in low light look really good also as though there was a light source present. I have yet to experiment much with the videos but it from the little videos i've shot, the video is pretty clear.The fact that I don't have to go mad looking for AA or AAA batteries is a SUPER PLUS! Miss perfect picture moments because of batteries and nobody loves that~ You do have to buy a memory card because the camera doesn't come with one.

Terrific camera! I don't know how much she paid for the camera so I cannot comment on the price.

3.0 out of 5 stars SLOW Entry Level Camera June 12, 2012

By R. Boss

Color Name:Red

I picked up the S3300 at a Sam's Club because my S8000 started acting up while on vacation. I thought by staying in the Nikon family, all would be well. Big mistake!!! The extra $100 to get you into the next class of cameras is well worth it if you are more than the occasional photographer.

CONS
It's S-L-O-W. Painfully slow....so slow, that I returned it and got my money back.

It's slow (and difficult) to get all 9 focus boxes to appear for a crisp clear picture.

It's slow to save the picture to the SD Card (class 10)

It's slow to transfer the pictures out of the camera to your computer (at least this can be fixed by taking out the SD Card and connecting it directly to your computer)

30% of my pictures were blurry. Most likely because it takes forever to focus. I shot about 1000 pictures on my vacation. 30% (300) blurry photos, that's a lot.

PRO's

As crappy as the camera is to take a STILL picture, it takes great pictures while you're moving (go figure). It has a "sports" setting allowing you to take pictures of something that's moving, or from a moving car...and they look great!

Being able to see the screen in bright daylight is also a big plus with Nikon cameras.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great point & Shoot! May 10, 2012

By coolmomx2

Color Name:Purple|Amazon Verified Purchase

I just got this camera yesterday and have been taking pictures in all different kinds of lighting.
This camera has done great in even a dark room.I am very pleased with how quiet it is which
will be great when shooting video's.Haven't been able to get a great super close up yet but
I think that is due to my lack of understanding on just how to use all the functions of the camera
just yet.I'm not a professional photographer but as a capture every moment mom of two I have
taken thousands upon thousands of pictures.I've been through many camera's (Samsung,Kodak,Fuigi)
to name a few none have come close to the quality of picture of this Nikon.I am very happy
with this camera so far.I love how compact it is and the fun colors it comes in.
