I have used a Nikon Coolpix 5200 for a cou...ple of years and always had good results. I purchased the refurbished Coolpix S6200 as a gift for my wife. It has a larger viewing screen, operational sound effects. clearer macro without using a tripod, and other features much improved from my older camera. We are very pleased with this Nikon product. It is important to read the operating instructions (available online) before using.

I bought it for taking pictures for eBay listings. ... The focus is too slow and if you need to use the flash it takes a few seconds to process after each picture. It takes 3 times as long to use this camera as it does my phone for pictures. If so was Only using this camera for general picture taking it would be fine but it does not work for what I need.

Pro&ap...os;s: Great price for the camera you get. size, its super small/light and can fit into any pocket comfortably. has a large lcd screen. comes with a battery, so your not replacing AA or AAA batteries all the time, has a great battery life too, I have taken hundreds of pictures with it, using the flash too and the battery still shows a full charge (I put it on the charger though just to make sure it was ready when I wanted it) Superb picture quality And the digital zoom is amazing, allowing you to get closer than any other camera I found in this price range and comparable in size. Con's: There are not many with this camera, my biggest complaint is that inbetween shots snapped, it seems to take a very long time to be able to take your next picture (and thats not counting the time it takes to show you the pic you just took). Really that is my only complaint, and I don't feel that is enough to give the camera a bad rating or be unhappy with my purchase. I'm using this camera coming out of a Nikon CoolPix digital SLR which I bought probly about 7 to 9 years ago, (its only 8MP) is a nice camera but since it's a digital SLR its very large and cumbersome, this new CoolPix is tiny, high performing, and easy to take anywhere! A perfect replacment to tote around in place of my old digital SLR. I've been a huge Nikon fan now for years, they make great cameras. Thank you Nikon!
We needed a camera upgr...ade. our last one, also a Nikon, was about 7 years old with a broken battery compartment door. So I bought this for my Wife for Xmas. She loves it. With the 10x zoom feature, you're able to zoom in really close from far away. Plus, the instant 'video' mode is simple to use. I also added a 16gb memory card for lots of storage. LOVE this camera! and got it at an amazing price on Ebay.
T...his was a gift for my son for Christmas. I OPENED and precharged this for him to use Christmas morning. We could not believe the photos and how easy it was for him to shoot them. You can't believe the number of blurey photos that we have. I took a lot of time comparing the available choices and it sure paid off. The S6200 has the shake control, this was important due to my son's injury, the automatic focus on your subject also helps unbelieveably. No more blurs! Comparing camera to camera is a snap with the helpful product specs that were available. Plus I was especially happy with the bundle that came with the camera, I did not have to add anything you know like an extra storage card, camera case, small tripod and camera care kit as it was all included. The last item I compared was the warranty, if you believe in your product then you will back it up, Nikon offered the best of my choices. Nikon is a leader in the industry so I felt very confident in choosing it! It was a complete pleasure shopping for his Nikon S6200 camera.
