Bought this reconditioned to replace a damaged S600. I was not disappointed. [...] This is a great economical option that takes great pics. This is a perfect camera to take with for group and travel pictures, when you don't want to lug around your DSLR.

Small size, nice large bright view screen. Easy to use once you figure out all the controls. Takes nice photos. I wish you could charge the battery in the camera. I got this for [$]and it was worth the money. You can get a PDF manual at the Nikon site and check it out before you buy.
