Nikon Coolpix S200 Customer Reviews

By Hiram Grant “just call me Sam”

The Coolpix S200 is a solid entry in the compact digital field. It’s sleek good looks and solid construction make it very appealing. However, it’s the first Coolpix to use the VR designation that uses “digital” VR instead of the proven and preferable lens shift and CCD shift VR.
On the positive side, it uses a reliable lithium-ion battery system, and Nikon is much more reasonable than many brands on accessories such as batteries. The SD card choice makes it a bit easier to find cards at reasonalbe prices and in remote locations than some of its competitors.A solid camera, but nothing you can’t get for less in other brands.

I bought one from Costco and already returned it after one week. 50% of the pictures taken outdoor were blurred, maybe from handshake. The VR is probably not effective per Hiram’s review. Otherwise, it is pretty nice and solid camera. The video quality is pretty good. Interface is good. I just found out another colleague had bought one too and he is complaining about the blurred image issue. I am now considering the Nikon S50.
