 Nikon S1 May 17, 2009
Mark Headrick (Austin TX)
The photos I get from the Nikon S1 are better than excellent. I like to shoot macro photos with the flash turned off, using a tripod. The results are wonderful. The camera is user-friendly. I find the features to be self-explanatory. The unusually small size is very convenient for putting it in my pocket. The dock attaches to my computer in the usb port, making this camera the most straightforward and convenient camera I have ever used, regardless of price. It also produces the best photos of any camera I have ever owned.
There is one negative: the lens is too small. This means that unless the sun is shining brightly above, the photo may become blurred and you need to use a tripod. This is not an issue for me, since almost all my photos are macro and on a tripod. When I travel with this camera, I always take a tripod for all photos.
A second negative is that the camera is fragile and the screen is easily damaged, but that is true for all digital cameras, so that should be a given.
Go to google and search for steves digicams to find sample photos, showing what this camera can do. The camera may be a few years old now, but great quality does not go obsolete!
Nikon S1: very highly recommended.

 Worst Camera I've Ever Owned January 26, 2009
Stacy Baum (Groton, CT USA)
I do professional photography and own many large dSLR camera. I like the fact the S1 is slim and I can throw it in my pocket. But that's about all the S1 has going for it.
- "This photo is blurry, would you like to delete it?" That's great, if the camera didn't show that warming after EVERY photo I take. Most of the photos come out blurry, and if not they are soft and not as sharp as I'd like them to be.
- Flash is horrible. Another reason the photos are blurry. It is very weak and does not reach far. If the subject is more than 5 feet away then it is useless.
Go back to SLR cameras Nikon.
 Quite disappointed with the Coolpix S1 December 26, 2008
Raymond Pauly (Coral Springs, FL United States)
I am an active serious advanced amateur photographer. I own several cameras, both digital and film, SLRs and point-and-shoots. I sell and buy cameras all the time and I have done quite a lot of research with different brands and models.
I was attracted to the Nikon Coolpix S1 mainly because of its size and looks. I wanted a compact camera that I could carry with me all the time on my frequent shooting trips as a backup (I normally shoot with a Canon EOS Rebel XTi and I use from two to five different lenses), and a little camera that I could take with me to family or social events to avoid carrying all the equipment mentioned all the time.
Reading about the included accesories with the Coolpix S1, I finally made mi mind on buying it, when I learned about the included docking station, which I found attractive and very cool. Actually I only use the dock to charge the battery, because I use a card reader to download photos to my PC, but I like to just place the little thing on the dock and not have to change batteries.
The Coolpix S1 is very sleek and thin, but besides that, I think it does have more cons than pros.
The very small size is not all that convenient all the time. I am not a very big person, and I have to say that I find the little buttons on top (the on/off and shutter buttons) uncomfortable for handling.
The lens is situated on the upper left corner of the camera, and it is very likely that your finger is going to get in the way more than once, forcing you to repeat shots, that most of the times can not be repeated. Meaning... you lost the shot. One solution for this is holding and manipulating the camera with only your right hand... NOT! Terrible solution: this will result in you not being able to hold the camera steady, and your picture WILL turn out blurry. And so we rapidly come to my main disappointment with this camera: blurry pictures. Not that you get one blurry picture once in a while... I would say that 60 to 70% of pictures turn out blurry with this camera under normal lighting conditions. Come to low lighting conditions, you will get 90% of blurry pictures... even using a tripod! On the other hand, the flash does have a short distance range, as other reviewers stated, which in the end results in blurred photos as well. You can in that case move closer to the subject, but as we all know, this will produce over lighted pictures with that unwanted indoor flash look with dark backgrounds.
My more recent (and most disappointing experience so far), was on last Christmas Eve, on which I lost more than half of the pictures I took at my mother's Xmas dinner and family reunion. I tried all the available low light options on the menu, like party/indoor, night portrait, night landscape... same result with either and all of them: BLURRY! This was the only camera I carried with me that night, and I felt like there should probably be more options on the menu that could compensate for this and I was overlooking or missing somehow... but there were not.
I am surprised that so many users give this little camera such good reviews... unless you settle for all this inconveniences and still be happy with it. I don't. I think that a photo is a one-in-a-lifetime unrepeatable experience and moment, and I don't want to loose mine.
My previous experiences with Canon both SLRs and point and shoot, have been much more favorable. I'd recommend the Canon A710.
I am also testing the Sony DCSW 170 and I am pleased with the results so far. I will write a review on this one sometime later.
My Nikon Coolpix S1, as of now, is for sale. Cheap!

I purchased this camera before my trip to India. The camera worked a few times, but then the shutter would not function properly while I was in India. I was concerned about the return policy because I would not be returning to the USA until after the allotted return period. I emailed the company and explained my situation. The representative stated that they would be happy to exchange the camera once I returned into the country. When I arrived in the USA, I contacted the company; they provided me with needed information and I sent my camera back. I am now awaiting my replacement camera.
