 "Love the Nikon Coolpix S630" 2010-02-06
By K. Wumkes (Colorado)
This is a replacement camera for an earlier model Coolpix I had for several years and then broke. I was very happy with the earlier model, but this one has more bells and whistles and has a much better zoom. It also has a metal case, unlike the last version's plastic shell. I use it primarily for still shots, but it does have a video function, and is great to take when travelling and you don't want to haul a camcorder around too. It uses an SD memory card, available with up to 2 gigs of memory- plenty for storing hundreds of photos or several short videos. The rechargable battery is the square EN-EL12 type. Nikon claims you can get 200 shots before needing a recharge but I've found it to be a little less than that. Get a spare. Nikon has somewhat simplified the menu access on the Coolpix from earlier models. It's easy to move through the menu tabs and select the item you want. Downloading photos is easy. It comes with software, but I don't use it- just dump it right to my hard drive with the included mini usb cord. I'm very happy with overall camera and image quality. The only drawback is the recharge time it takes between shots.

 "Great Action Shots!" 2010-01-30
By K. Luciano (Maryland)
We have 2 Labrador Retrievers that compete in the sport of Dock Diving. With the multi-frame feature of this Nikon S630, we are able to capture incredible & progressive mid air jumps with no blur. Although the quality of pixels drops when using this mode, it still provides a very good quality photograph. For the price, you simply can't beat it. This camera is easy to use, light weight and has some really great features. I love it!

Nikon's smarter approach to digital imaging technology. From image capture to processing, Nikon's comprehensive EXPEED digital imaging concept encompasses the entire picture-taking operation. EXPEED is much more than a processing engine; it is a revolution in digital photography.

4 way VR Image Stabilization minimizes the effects of camera shake for sharper results

  • Nikon's Optical VR image stabilization compensates for the effects of camera shake by moving the image sensor.
  • Motion Detection automatically detects a moving subject and adjusts shutter speed and the ISO setting to compensate for camera shake and subject movement.
  • High ISO 6400 capability helps give you sharper results when shooting in low light or capturing fast-moving subjects.
  • Nikon's original Best Shot Selector automatically takes up to 10 shots while the shutter is pressed and saves the sharpest image.

Exceptional Image Quality
The Coolpix S630's exceptional image quality and consistently sharp results from it's 12 megapixel sensor and precision 7x Zoom-NIKKOR are just the beginning. The creative freedom of the Coolpix S630's zoom range of 37-260mm lets you capture the full delight of all those special moments, from entire scenes to tight close-ups.

 "Great Camera!!" 2010-01-02
By R. N. Steppe (Queen Creek, AZ)
I would highly recommend this camera! I love to take photos of my dogs while they are playing and have had no trouble catching those special, action packed memories with my new Nikon! It's very easy to use, has various settings for different scenes, and takes very crisp pictures! The best part is that you can zoom and crop the pictures from the camera itself and save the cropped picture to the camera to easily print!

 "You can do better for the money." 2009-12-23
By Paul Bender (Washington, DC)
For me, the real selling points of this camera were: its size, its outstanding zoom range, and the fact that it is a Nikon. The camera is an ideal size, and conforms well to the hands when shooting. The user interface is not entirely intuitive, but if you spend a little time with the camera, it is not very difficult to figure out. The zoom range is fantastic. But the motor used to control the zoom won't let you continuously zoom in and out; it is set to allow you to only zoom to a certain number of discrete positions. I found this to be really annoying--frequently, I wanted to zoom in or out just a tiny bit, but the darn thing would jump to its next zoom zone, which would be way off-the-mark.



If you are looking for a point-and-shoot camera that works very well in fully auto mode, then this is NOT the camera for you. Virtually all of the fully-automatic shots I took with this camera, particularly indoors, came out poorly exposed--typically out-of-focus, blurred, with inaccurate color rendering, or with noticeable digital noise. I found that if I took the time to go to the menu and select the proper shooting mode (for example, "Indoor Portrait," "Still Life," etc) to conform to the shooting environment at the time, the results were much better, though still frequently flawed. If you are buying a point-and-shoot camera in order to actually point-and-shoot, I would argue that users generally don't expect to have to reset modes for every situation in order to get a decent shot. (I own a 6 year old Kodak 3.1MP camera that, hands down, takes way better point-and-shoot auto-exposed photos than the Nikon S630. Unfortunately, the Kodak is fairly bulky and its viewing LCD, by today's standards especially, is very tiny--which is why am I looking to supplement it with a newer camera.)



It turns out that a cousin of mine bought the same camera at about the same time, and she experienced similar results, and returned the camera. I am going to do the same thing. For me, it was unfortunately not the right choice.

 "Pleasantly surprised" 2009-11-19
By Emily Warren (Gainesville, FL USA)
Not only is this camera beautiful and easy to carry around, but the picture quality is outstanding. I wanted to shell out the extra bucks to get a 7x optical zoom instead of the 3x and I am so happy that I did. This is a great camera and such a cute color! :)

 "not reliable" 2009-11-11
By Jules (Arizona)
I purchased this camera a year ago. I really liked it until the lens stopped working. I called Nikon and my extended warranty expired less than a month ago. They were not able to help. They said they could repair it for $100 plus shipping to and from. Since I purchased it on sale for $150 I didn't think that the $100 repair was worth it. So now I have a camera I can't use at all. I am planning on giving it to my toddler as a toy because that's all it's good for now! I would expect a product from Nikon to last more than a year. Very disappointed and I don't think I will choose Nikon again.

 "It Took Blurry Pictures" 2010-01-18
By S. Swisher (Chicago, IL)
I gave this camera to my 27 year old daughter for Christmas as she wanted a zoom which was 7x optical. She started using it and the pictures were coming out blurry. She went online to a camera bulletin board and found out that other owners had the same problem with it. I returned it.

 "Another One Bites The Dust" 2010-01-14
By Lillian35 (United States)
I recently had a very bad experience with a Canon Powershot SD78IS. I sent it back and after doing some research decided to give this Nikon as a well as a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS3 and the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 a try. The Nikon went down right away, which really surprised me as they are known for good quality cameras and great pictures.



Pros:



Small Size

Portability

Easy to use

Battery charges quickly

Long battery life



Cons:



Grainy/Blurry pictures

Bad video quality

Sounds low and muffled on video

Macro doesn't work properly



Both the Sony and the Panasonic that I'm currently trying outperform the Nikon with no question. I'm sending this one back.

 "Blurry Pictures" 2010-01-02
By Scott (Columbus, OH USA)
Had this camera for about 3 weeks, took in on vacation to NY City. About 1/4 of the pictures came out very blurry. We were a bit disappointed. We were careful to allow it to properly focus but still some pictures were just not good.



The camera looks and feels great though!



So we returned it for a slightly more expensive, more bulky Canon SX200IS. The Canon has yet to take a bad picture so it wasn't user error with the Nikon.

 "best digital camera i've owned so far!" 2009-11-04
By N. Huston (at large)
i don't buy many cameras. here's my 20-year photo history: this nikon replaces a panasonic lumix FS5, which met an untimely end two weeks ago. that camera replaced an older digital sony point-and-shoot, and that in turn replaced a very basic-model canon 35mm SLR (which i very likely never used to its full potential).



i've now owned the nikon for 3 whole days, and it has provided the most fun i've had with a camera since i had my old 35mm, but without the hassle of film development (and the accompanying crapshoot of "how will the pics turn out?"). i've drained three batteries so far and taken i can't remember how many hundreds of sample pics without any real problems to report.



i'm not a HUGE camera nerd or photography snob, but i like to think i can take a decent picture now and then. i'm probably close to the definition of "casual photographer." here, then, are my impressions of the nikon S630, beginning right out of the box:



the design is great. i'm an above-average-sized guy, with pretty big hands, yet the controls are easily placed and i have yet to mash the wrong button (or combo of them) with any of my giant thumbs. my girlfriend uses a small kodak digital, and the shutter and power buttons are so close on that camera that i turn the thing off as often as i snap a successful pic. not so with my new nikon, i'm happy to report, yet the case is small enough and the controls placed so that a person with normal-sized hands should find it just as easy and comfortable as i do.



battery and memory card are both a standard design, no brand-specific special purchases required. hooray for that!



the controls are well placed (the dial, or at least the ribs on it could be a tiny bit larger for my own ease of use, but that's not a real problem), and their use as well as the menu options they lead to are reassuringly and happily clear and easy to follow (definitely unlike my experience with my last panasonic). i find that i actually LIKE tinkering with the settings while using this camera! i'm also one of those annoying people who don't like to read the manuals that come with their gadgets, and have been able to figure out pretty much everything i've wanted to without having to crack a page. that says something positive about the camera, right?



shutter speed is GREAT. the autofocus is very fast, with only minimal hesitation or fluctuation - even when the zoom is fully extended (the sony and panasonic both took AGES to focus themselves). the zoom itself is great: at 7x, closeups are REALLY close, and the clarity of menu options has so far meant that the closeups i've taken are nice and clear, not grainy or blurred half the time like with previous cameras. the burst feature is much better engineered than on my panasonic (the slight loss of image quality when using this feature is acceptable - ya gotta make the occasional sacrifice for speed). i haven't done much with the movie or voice options, just a little sampling with each, but they seem fine as well.



image quality has been great so far. my panasonic may have had a slight edge here (which may just be the result of having used it longer and been more familiar with it), but the pixellation and off-color problems i've read about in other reviews have not occurred thus far. low-light shots have turned out just fine, too (another problem i've read about others having).



i can't say much for the durability or longevity of this unit, or for nikon's customer service, as i've only had it a very short time. fingers crossed that i don't have to amend this review on either of those scores.



this camera seems to have received more mixed reviews than any other i checked out before buying. i'm not sure where the problems these other folks are having are coming from. it's a pocket camera, really, and meant for the casual photographer as opposed to the professional - do they expect it to make their morning coffee too? for my purposes (family, pets, vacation & nature shots, car shows, the occasional sports event, still lifes of stuff to sell on the 'net), and for those of people with similar needs, it ought to work just fine.



i may not know enough about them to be a full-fledged camera snob, but i am fairly picky about my gadgets and toys. so far, the nikon S630 has been a joy to work with. unless it explodes or catches fire while i'm using it the day after the warranty expires, i'm sold!

 "Would really like to have a dock." 2009-10-18
By MsKentuckyGoldwing (Mt. Sterling, Kentucky USA)
---At this point, I'm still trying to get use to my new camera. But, it's not as easy as I thought

it would be. Without the dock to use when not in use, makes it harder to use continuously. If it wasn't for the extra battery I bought to go along with it, the evening pictures I took wouldn't have been here from our last camping trip. It's disapointing to have to change batteries every 8 hours when a dock would have kept the camera ready for use for longer time.



---It's also disappointing for me to not be able to take more pictures before having to change the battery. But, for the price I paid, that will have to be something I'll have to get use to. Let me explain!! When you are riding on a back of a motorcycle, you must have a camera that will react to the movement and the shots that you are taking. Sometimes you will go longer than 8 hours and other times it

could be a 300 mile trip and take more than 220 pictures at a time. But if the battery goes dead before that it's a bit hard to change the battery as you move down the highway. My other camera I had for 3 years got broke. Spent money to get it fixed, it came back and was terrible.Don't have any idea what I was doing wrong. So this was my next choice and it's really going to take patiences to get it to do what I want it to do and when. When you switch like this from one to another, you will lose something and what I lost was something I came to expect. Which is what I wanted this camera to do.



---As for the camera itself, I love it. Traveling as we do, it fits in my hand quite nicely and can take some great shots moving or sitting still. I can't say that I'm disapoointed in that part of it at all. I don't take pictures of just one thing and it falls right in there with what I'm doing at the time. I'm not a pro, but some of my pictures could be used as such, that I have gotten from this camera. It's light weight and has the settings that are needed to accomplish what ever you are wanting to do.



---As for the other - it will take time to get use to and I will conquer that as I go along. Then, I'll be a happy biker and photgrapher again!!
