Questions & Answers

Shopper : On the coolpix S8000 does the charge light stay red when charging or does it turn green when finish? ThanksWAYNE D : I haven't had to charge it but once since the original charge, but if I remember correctly the red light indicates the need for charging and should change to green when the charger is plugged into both the computer and the camera. The charge light will blink on and off moderately slowly. When there is no longer a blinking green light, the battery has been fully charged.SAMUEL A : If you charge the battery through the camera,it will take hours. If you charge it through a external charger like I bought for my friend it only takes about 1/2 hour.PATRICK K : On my Coolpix S8000, when using the fire wire to charge from a outlet, a green light on the back of the camera flashes while the camera is charging then goes off when the charge is complete. PKWILLIAM O : The charge light blinks green while charging, turns off when finished. BillSTEVEN K : It turns off when finished charging.

The Worst

The flash frequently does not fire, even when set manually to always fire. It may take ten shots to get a correct exposure for a particular scene. Even when the flash does fire (which could be 2-4 of the 10), 9 of those shots may be extremely under or over exposed. The exposure problems may also occur in non-flash shots. Other times the camera may work fine. Video mode button is located in a place which makes it easy to accidentally activate.
