Comments about Nikon Nikon Coolpix S230 Digital Camera, Plum - Refurbished by Nikon U.S.A.:

I wanted a small alternative to my Nikon DSLR with its 18-200 zoom.The performance of this new camera was sub-par and it would not even serve as a basic starter point-and-shoot camera. I returned the Coolpix after one day! I haave since bought a Lumix DMC-F8 and it is significantly better.

Comments about Nikon Nikon Coolpix S230 Digital Camera, Plum - Refurbished by Nikon U.S.A.:

I got this camera for my fiancé, who is a casual photographer. While I would prefer a higher performance camera for myself, this is perfect for him. He really likes it, it's a great price, and he has a lot of fun with the ginormous touch screen. I can't answer what the best uses are at this time, because I honestly haven't played around with it enough to know. But my guess is, it's comparable to any other amateur point-and-shoot. If you're a more serious photographer, well, you probably aren't considering this camera anyway.
