Nikon Coolpix S200 Highlights

The Zoom-Nikkor lens gives you the power of 3x optical zoom lens (38-114mm for 35mm equivalent), while Macro capability lets you get as close as 3.9 inches. This combination is supported by Nikons’ world-renowned optical technology to deliver crisp, clear images.

Electronic VR image stabilization Stability advanced... images enhanced. You can shoot sharper, clearer and without blur with Nikon’s ingenious Vibration Reduction. VR Image Stabilization detects and corrects for camera movement to give you rock-steady results time after time in lower light. So effective, it even lets you shoot in lower light.

D-Lighting In playback mode, D-Lighting will compensate for underexposed images or insufficient flash by adding light and detail to selected shots where needed, without affecting properly exposed areas.

Face-Priority AF To ensure superb portraits with crisp focus, select Face-Priority AF (in Portrait Scene mode). This feature automatically finds the subject’s face and focuses on it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quality at Affordable Expense, December 30, 2007

By	Scott (Florida) - See all my reviews

Great pictures and easy to use. I researched and played with tons of cameras before finally deciding on the Nikon S200. The choice was that it carried similar features of high-end/high-expense cameras on the market. It was only natural to choose this camera as it gave me great quality at a poor man's budget. And if something ever happens to it such as getting lost or stolen while on trips, it won't put me in the hole. I also have early Parkinson's disease. It has a stabilizing feature that allows me to take the pictures despite my shaking. Believe me, it is a nice feeling to be able to take a picture and not have it blurred or smeared. Other cameras on the market didn't help with this and left me overwhelmed and frustrated. With the Nikon S200, I had renewed confidence in taking quality pictures.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice size and display but disappointed with the image quality, May 15, 2007

By	Tom "Tom" (California USA) - See all my reviews

I bought one from Costco and already returned it after one week. 50% of the pictures taken outdoor were blurred, maybe from handshake. The VR is probably not effective per Hiram's review. Otherwise, it is pretty nice and solid camera. The video quality is pretty good. Interface is good. I just found out another colleague had bought one too and he is complaining about the blurred image issue. I am now considering the Nikon S50.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected!, December 2, 2007

By	N. Lindemann "Bucs Lover" (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is my second digital camera and I'm so happy to have it! I looked at a few others, but the size, picture quality and LCD screen are phenomonal! Keep in mind there is no viewer on this camera, but with the quality of the screen, you don't need one. Definitely recommend this camera to someone who is interested in having memories but not using professionally.
