Colour Name:Black
I bought this as a pocket camera which I can carry around with me at all times in case I need to take pictures at short notice, and its small and slim size with nicely rounded edges make it an easily pocketable camera. It certainly ticks the boxes in terms of compactness.
The 5X zoom is good, anything significantly more would mean either a price or size increase, and the 14 megapixel is an outstanding spec for a lower price camera like this.
Build quality is good, with casing made of metal and plastic giving a combination of strength and lightweight. The case is available in seven different colours (black, silver, lime, red, purple, pink, blue).
The back buttons are the familiar Nikon layout, giving quick access to the various menus, and the one touch record button makes it really easy to take instant HD movies. Another quick access button allows you to select the `Smart Portrait' mode which allows the camera to focus on one or more faces and automatically take a picture when someone smiles. A nice novelty.
I've also found the quality of pictures to be excellent. The camera won't cope with extremes like quick fire sports photos or extreme low light conditions, but that's not what it's intended for, it's simply a great camera to capture everyday quality pictures.

bought this for my partner. she has used a nikon coolpix for years and didn't want to change brands as she likes the way they they work and the ease of use. this one is very slim and light, but has retained the same button layout, so she got it out of the box and was able to start using it straight away - she didn't need to sit for hours going through the instructions! the picture quality is fantastic and the screen on the back is nice and large. also, it comes with a rechargeable battery pack, like a mobile etc. this was a really nice surprise, as her last one took normal batteries and they were prone to running out at the worst moment!!

I did a lot of research, including Which reports on which camera to buy, this ticked all the boxes for the type of camera I wanted. It has lived up to my point & shoot expectations. It takes lovely pictures & I find I carry it in my handbag & have used it in all light/subject situations. Brilliant little camera. Recommended

I always read the reviews carefully before a purchase and was a little concerned about this product before deciding to try it because of the negative reviews - but I have always liked Nikon so I took a chance and I have not been disappointed. Easy to set up - some very nice features and very crisp pictures. What more can you ask from a compact at this price?

I received this little camera just days before the birth of my first great-grandchild, and it has been busy ever since. The picture quality is superb, easy to handle and use (important to someone who does not usually take photographs). I am very pleased with it. Delivery was good and the camera was well packaged.

This little Nikon camera was a good buy and I am really pleased with it. The quality of picture is good providing you remember to keep the lense clean, it clouds over very easily.

Very good quality of the pictures (clean and sharp) and videos (HD looks really nice). Some filter effects also available to make a photo more attractive. Nice compact size. I'm completely happy of this purchase.

I wanted a camera for everyday use as I found it annoying lugging my Canon EOS 450D to social outings. With this little gem I can capture great memories with ease also so it takes fantastic photographs that I can use in my photography portfolio. Great price too! :)

It's quite good
I bought this as a present, they love it but they still have problems with the setting up of the camera, it's more of an age thing i think.

Fantastic compact from Nikon.
Let me start by saying, not all of us want 40x40 prints to put on a wall. That said, the Coolpix S3100 could easily handle it if you needed it to, and that's saying a lot. Read more
