I bought this for my son, who likes to take pictures when we are just out and about or traveling. It seems like it'll hold up to him using it and carrying it around. It's very easy to use and the menus are quite intuitive. My one annoyance is that I can't figure out how to permanently turn off the flash - or at least, how to keep it off even when turning the camera off and on. The flash defaults to being on, which is a pain. But other than that minor thing, the camera is nice enough - nothing fancy, but solid and inexpensive.

I got it to use at the beach, in the waves. I've used it twice now, both times it spent an hour in the water, lots of waves and sand .. no problems.. takes great quality photos and video.. and seems to be very waterproof and tough, I'm very happy with it :)

I got this camera after reading reviews for a kids camera. It is shockproof waterproof and kid friendly. I love how easy it is to take a picture and navigate the controls. My son is 8 years old and loves his first digital camera.

This is a great knock around camera. The picture quality is superb. I've gotten it wet, but not submerged, no problem. It's a little big. As for the knock around, it takes a beating. This camera has been dropped many times and doesn't show any problems for it. Try dropping a regular P&S, and you will probably not have a camera any more. The video is a nice added feature. Not jerky like older P&S cams were. So, its shock-proof feature is what is truly valuable about this camera.

I love it! Simple to use, don't have to worry about it getting wet and great battery life.

The camera was great until it went in one foot of water, in a pool. The first time it did it fogged up and stopped working. Back to the hunt for a durable first camera for my daughter. This is the second time I've had an issue with Nikon Coolpix, so I may have to switch brands.

I bought this to take photos snorkeling and while sailing. It's a very unassuming little camera that doesn't pretend to be anything more than a point and shoot. I was really excited about the intervalometer, but unfortunately it will only click photos for an hour (this is a software limit, not a storage or battery limit. So far there are no hacks I've found to remove this limit) and the fastest interval is 30 sec, which really isn't quick enough. The flash is not very powerful, so underwater photography is really limited to bright clear water like in the pool or carribean. Murky shots of the bottom of my boat in the Puget Sound were not so great. It would be great for kids too. One button operation. I have had no issues with the refurbished product. It arrived in fantastic condition, just not in the manufacturer's box. I have since bought a Hero 3 black edition and will most likely send this camera (the Nikon S30) to my dad so he can snorkle in Belize and take photos. Or I may keep it to have with as my walking around camera when I don't have my D300s with me. Battery life is decent. I'd recommend rechargeable lithiums.
