User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Good for the price
This camera appears to be good value for the price. It’s not a great camera, but it’s small, is easy to operate and takes good pictures.

3 Stars So, So At Best
I hate the fact there there is no optical viewfinder. It is nearly impossible in bright light to compose a decent shot using the digital display. This was really apparent yesterday at a Blue Angels air show. This thing takes decent photographs once you get used to it but not that much better than the 3MP Nikon that it replaced.

5 Stars Digital Camera
This camera is great! Easy to use and takes great pictures. Having a cable to upload directly to my computer is a bonus! And no more recharging AA batteries.

1 Star Worst Canon Ever
Have had Canon products in the past and they were great but NOT this model. After ordering the first one the viewing screen became cloudy after 2 weeks. Returned to Amazon and got another. Within 1 week the screen went completely blank. Again Amazon refunded my purchase price. This camera is obviously not up to Canon’s usual standards. Buy something else. I finally ended up with a Nikon Coolpix and it is a wonderful camera.

5 Stars Great camera!
After getting my Canon elp sd1000 (great camera btw) i was in desperate need of a camera because I was in europe so of course i needed a new camera! i was on the fence of between a sony or a canon. From the track record I had with my old canon, i picked the canon A3100 IS. It’s an amazing camera! I just basically left it on Auto and it helps me macro close up pictures or what not. after reading reviews and more about the camera, i found out there’s a “poster” mode that looked pretty cool! i was disappointed that i didn’t get to try that mode but i will def. put it to good use! love love this camera! i don’t get what the other reviewer was talking about…having their screen being cloudy. i’ve had my camera for a month already and it’s been fine. along with me dropping it. i love canon…so durable!

5 Stars Amazing power in a compact camera!
Unbelievable camera!Shot HD video of my brother’ graduation and I was sitting across the arena! 10x optical zoom plus a 14.2 megapixel camera in a SLEEK design…

WOW!!

Buy it!

1 Star maybe i got a lemon
I am a pro photographer and I bought this as a present for my wife . I usually shoot with nikon dslr’s and the result is great. I bought this and returned it after 1 day. I don’t think that it’s a bad camera inherently. I can only assume that the one i got from amazon was refurbished or something because no matter what I did the picture just wasn’t clear and at 14 megapixels it should be great. I won’t buy cameras from amazon again. I even tested this camera in a few diff stores and the result seemed ok. that’s the problem with buying cameras online and not from a pro camera house. sorry amazon. not cool.

3 Stars Hard to hold
I just watched Nikon’s video on the S8000 and they show the model holding the camera with both index fingers on the top of the camera. Nice … but there is a pop-up flash on the left top, which would prevent this in any low light situation. It is not very user friendly … you have to stop and move your index finger and then pull the flash up manually after it hits your finger and fails to open fully. When your through shooting you have to manually close the flash.

There is no indicator to tell you how much charge is left in the battery.

The sound when watching videos on the camera is barely audible even with volume control attached to zoom. When you connect the camera to your computer the sound is normal … no problem.

The S8000 has a very fast start-up and the zoom is excellent. The colors are beautiful and accurate. Fast and accurate focusing means I get what I shoot but the flash pop-up can slow you down. I don’t think I can live with the flash pop-up. I don’t buy a new camera, that often.

2 Stars Terrible picture quality
I bought the Nikon S8000 thinking that Nikon always delivers good picture quality. I am an avid amateur photographer, and own several Nikon DSLRs which I think are outstanding. Unfortunately, with the S8000 my trust was misplaced. While the camera is sleek with excellent shooting performance, the quality of the images was simply terrible. Even in good outdoor lighting at ISO 100 there is smudging and loss of detail when zooming in to 100%. All the pictures look as if they’re slightly out of focus, and this did not change despite adjusting autofocus settings, anti-vibration settings ets. The quality of indoor shots was even worse. I used this camera for 2 months, and tried every possible setting to fix the image quality. Video quality is excellent, but there is a nagging high pitch sound in all of the footage. If you care about image quality do not buy this camera. I’m selling mine at a loss.

5 Stars Quality point-and-shoot camera
I purchased this camera just prior to a business/sightseeing trip, and am extremely pleased.

10x optical zoom on a camera in this price range is excellent, and the zoom performs quite well. The picture quality is very good on the highest-quality setting (14MP+, which Nikon denotes as “print quality”) – the images produced at this setting are around 6MB apiece.

The camera has a special flash mode for nighttime pictures and it does make a huge difference. Pictures taken at night or in a dark location using this mode are much less washed-out and grainy than I am used to. Also included are the fairly standard steadiness correction and red-eye reduction.

All in all I am impressed with the camera, especially given the price. It is fairly easy to learn to use, especially if you are like me and only want a point and shoot camera, but does have many options to tweak if you wish.

The only downside is that the buttons to switch between modes (picture, video, display) aren’t always immediately responsive, and since you enter and exit video mode with a button on the back of the camera the last second of video is shaky unless you have a very steady hand.
