I bought this camera after reading all the + reviews on several web sites. This is a very good camera for the price.
Pro’s: price, simple to use, slips right into you shirt pocket or purse, very good pictures, bright LCD (sorry Kodak), uses AA batteries, good video.
Con’s: none! I highly recommend this camera.

I am no “techie”, but this camera is user friendly and takes beautiful pictures. It does all the adjustments automaticly. If you want a “point & shoot”, no-brainer I recommend this camera. AND it is “pretty”.

I originally bought the Coolpix S203 and LOVED it. Good quailty pictures, chargeable battery and very slim. Super easy to carry around. When it got wet and died I wanted to replace it with the same model. Alas, it is no longer made. So, because I enjoyed my first Nikon Coolpix, I bought the L22 and was completly dissapointed. It seemed HUGE compared to my tiny S203 and the pictures were always blurry. It took extra seconds to switch from camera to movie and even to take a simple posed picture required 2.5 seconds of holding the button. Not a chance you would ever catch a good candid shot. I returned it and bought the S3000. Best idea and worth the extra $15. Plus this one does not require AA batteries like the L22.

The camera is very good in quality and small in design. It meets all the requirements I was looking for and does a beutiful job that lives up to its ads. I have always enjoyed Nikon cameras and the zoom fits in perfectly for my needs.

Hubby and I were on vacation when our camera started to act up on us. We went to a chain store we trust and bought this camera based on the Nikon reputation, the fact that it takes AA batteries and uses the same storage media as the one we currently have. That night I checked out the different settings until I became comfortable changing them. While using it both hubby and I found we switched to pix review with our thumbs often. When we got home I downloaded the pix. We’re happy with the ones taken close and on land, but, the ones taken on boats (we went on a couple of sailboats on vacation) and the ones taken at a distance I’m disappointed with. It seems like most of the boat pix are blurry; the seas weren’t choppy. I don’t think this will take good pix at our grandsons ball games, either.
I’m now in the process of researching a camera with some type of stabilization feature and one with a longer optical zoom.
