I will not recommend S10 to anyone

Strengths: Good image quality.

Weakness: Lens Error

It is not even 1 year I bought this camera for $300. It has started giving me Lens Error randomly most of the time I try to turn it on. So, I can't even use it. And I have read many reviews online that Nikon S10 has this problem. Otherwise, it takes nice picture great results, BUT IT SHOULD TURN ON TO DO THAT!!!!!!

Good Camera to purchase

Strengths: Everything is good except weakness

Weakness: No face detection feature

If you are interested in taking pictures in any kinds of angle, I recommened to buy this one; otherwise you'd better search other cameras with features like image quality, optical zoom...etc.

s10 a great prosumer camera

Strengths: nikon qoality, great lens, great built in flash, a vast improvement over the s4. image stab. works good.

Weakness: nikon prop. battery is good, light, not as convenient as AA rechargeables.

my old s4 had several weaknesses. nikon addressed them all: great lcd screen (no problem, bright or dim). flash much better range. image stab. works well. Big zoom, small size, convenient shape, idiot proof menus. too bad nikon had to rush S4 out without these improvements.

As good as it gets at this price

Strengths: (1) A slim camera considering that it has a 10x zoom. (2) Has image stablization. (3) Panoramic assist feature - very useful

Weakness: (1) Awkward design such that your thumb will have to be placed on the LCD when taking a photo. (2) The body is a little big for my small hands - not very comfortable to hold when taking photos.

Originally, I had my mind set on buying Canon's SD700IS for its image stablization feature and the quality of Canon's photo images. Then, I stumbled upon the Coolpix s10 and was swept away by the features it is packing into a relatively small body. Of course, it is much bigger than the similarly priced Canon's SD 700IS, but I feel that I can happily trade off Canon SD 700IS small size for the...

outstanding camera

Strengths: 10 X optical zoom

Weakness: lack of metering options

This is an outstanding camera - it is easy to use, and has a large lcd which is clear in sunlight. The 10 X optical zoom with virbration reduction is no gimmick. I have found sharp images using full zoom in various light conditions. I found the one touch portrait button only worked in locating faces some of the time, but that is a minor flaw considering it is an unnecessary feature. I would have...

Compact and Powerful Digital Zoom Camera

Strengths: 10x Zoom, Compact Size, Impressive Speed, Great Resolution

Weakness: Prefer Compact Flash where this camera only offers SD memory format

This camera is the perfect "hybrid" between the standard digital point and shoot camera and the professional body cameras with long tele-photo lenses. This little gem really impressed me. Thank You Santa!

An S4 with IS and a better screen? No thanks

Strengths: good focus ability and the 10x zoom in a small pocket package

Weakness: ...it's an s4 with IS and a better screen. It doesn't need a better screen, it needs to get rid of the "s4" part. The s4s image resolution is horrible.

Seriously, don't even bother buying this camera until you read my review of the S4 here in pricegrabber. And in general, if even then you are still thinking of buying this camera, take a look at my reviews of my Canon S2, A610 and A710, Panasonic DMC-FZ5, and Olympus SP-500 here on pricegrabber. Also my Nikon Coolpix 4800 review, along with my Panasonic DMC-TZ1 review, and Fuji A345, F650 and...

COOLPIX S10 Digital Camera

Strengths: Clear image, easy to use

Weakness: Too Bulky

We purchase this camera from Costco, reasonable price with stable quality. We are very happy with this purchase. The only problem is the size. It's a ittle bulky, If you carry around, you need a bigger carry case. However, the quality of photos are nice.

Good Camera for the Price

Strengths: good lens, 10x optical zoom,

Weakness: unusual design for a camera

I would highly recommend this camera to people looking for an easy to use camera with good image quality. The 10x optical zoom is good for a camera this size. The internal memory is small, but it is better than nothing. Image stabilization is a nice feature.

Nikon Coolpix S10 Review

The new Nikon Coolpix S10 compact digital camera offers a 6 megapixel sensor, Vibration Reduction and a 10x, 38-380mm lens, all in a retro twisting body/lens design that was first seen several years ago on early Coolpix models like the 900 and 950. The Nikon S10 is definitely different to everything else that's on the market, but is it actually any good? Gavin Stoker finds out in our latest...

Nikon Coolpix S10

Shooting with the Nikon Coolpix S10 was fun. Any camera this small that can both swivel and reach out to 380mm equivalent has to stimulate enjoyment in its owner. Coupled with Nikon's innovative digital features -- including face recognition, Best Shot Selector, and D-Lighting -- the Coolpix S10 could only be bettered by a camera with image stabilization. Well, the Coolpix S10 also has that, in...

DCRP Review: Nikon Coolpix S10

If you want a fairly compact ultra zoom camera that can take some creative shots, then the Coolpix S10 is probably worth a look. If you want manual controls and lens accessories then it's probably not the best choice. While I'm not jumping up and down with enthusiasm about the S10, it's cool enough (pun intended) to earn my recommendation.
