Nikon Coolpix S30 (White)

 

If you're looking for a good, inexpensive point-and-shoot to take to the beach or for a dip in the pool, the Nikon Coolpix S30 is it. Nikon stripped down the shooting options and the interface to make the camera simple for the whole family to use.

With big buttons, an easy-to-understand interface, and limited shooting options, the Nikon Coolpix S30 is a family-friendly waterproof and shockproof point-and-shoot.

The S30 is not a camera you want to use indoors or in low-light conditions.

The rugged Nikon Coolpix S30 is a simple, inexpensive point-and-shoot to keep poolside, and doesn't try to be anything more.

Perfect for the budding Annie Leibovitz

 

We bought this for our 7 year old and it\'s just perfect - competitive price, tough, water resistant and the image quality is not at all bad. It\'s easy to use for pics and movies and the user interface is nice and simple. Battery life is a bit short...

Excellent Inexpensive Waterproof Nikon! Love it!

 

I took this camera to Myrtle Beach to test it's abilities before I take it on a cruise. The pictures taken in the water are amazing. I didn't try for underwater pics, because, if you've ever been to Myrtle, you know the water isn't clear enough for...
