Nikon Coolpix S220

By Brad Soo (dpinterface.com)

The Coolpix S220 is Nikon's other entry-level camera. It offers the simplicity that you'd expect from a basic camera, but with more settings you can change (like ISO speed) over the oversimplified Coolpix L20 I reviewed a while ago

Slim design ; Good ergonomics and easy to use ; Smart Portrait, motion detection and auto scene selection features

Strong noise reduction results in softness and lack of detail ; Cheap lens with poor sharpness and no real image stabilizer ; Low resolution LCD; doesn't show a lot of information in shooting/playback ; Crummy low-light autofocus ; Below average ...

The Nikon Coolpix S220 is a cheaper, non-touchscreen version of the Coolpix S230. The camera packs the same lens, sensor and most features. Unfortunately, the Coolpix S230 wasn't flawless, and neither is the Coolpix S220 here.

"LCD Screen Died"

By hendrikjs (cnet.com)

Takes clear pictures

I took approx 500 shots with and the LCD screen died on me. Estimated cost of repair from Nikon (this was not covered under warranty) was $90. Hardly worth it. I would not buy this product again

"Heavily Grainy images when displayed on 22" and 42" TV."

Deceptive representation. This product was pu... 

Features provide average control if "AUTO" is not for you. Good only for posting on sites that don't demand quality images. Designed only to compete with Cellphone images

Packaging lacks disclosure about intended use being the only use - it even fooled the sales staff at a National Chain Store. And, it fooled me
