Nikon Coolpix S3100 Point & Shoot

The pictures are so sharp that one forgets which is the real scene and which is the picture.. At night, pictures shot in ambient light without flash as as good as day time shots. Day time shots capture the essence of every scene - the sunshine, the dark corners and bright faces. Overall, it is an excellent camera to possess. And it is so handy - just like a cell phone. I love my Nikon. And just to mention - I am grateful to my sister and brother-in-law who gave it to me.

I felt comfortable choosing the model, comparing with other models, colors available, competitive price and payment methods. Overall I felt comfortable and secured ordering on Flipkart. I am waiting for my shipment.

Ordered this on Monday early morning and I had it delivered to my work place by Thu early morn. In fact the courier guy had come to my place on Wed but I was not there. For the camera is concerned - its really worth the value you pay for it. Good features, AV cable, works even in Linux directly. No pre-configuration is needed. The battery life also seems to be good. People bothered with file size of the images, make sure you reduce the resolution.Click the pics and keep moving, dont even stand there for a moment and there is no glitch in your pictures. It also has a Tripod slot which makes your geek stuff more going. Overall - this is my first gadget that I shopped from flipkart, n I would say - its good. Superb packing to prevent the camera from damage, everything loaded as mentioned in the site and in great working condition. Thanks.

Recently got this camera (Oct 2011) and must say the purple color looks quite nice without looking too girly.
The camera is quite slim and looks really fab with the metal body and the glossy paint finish.

what I LIKE about the product:

1. Looks expensive and attractive
2. Easy to use
3. Good build quality with switches and plastics feeling durable
4. Various pre-set modes and scenes available, makes life easier for a novice. Camera works quite well when left to auto mode
5. Good quality snaps and I have managed to click some real good ones with this.
6. Both optical and digital zoom (5X) work well and macro mode is quite effective specially when used properly.

What I DONT like:

1. No Optical stabilisation. Meaning that when used without flash, your images will usually come blur due to vibrations from hand. A tripod is a must. This spoils the experience according to me as I HATE blurred images.
2. Manual focus option has to be selected again after each click as the focus freezes in place once set for the first click. So if in my subsequent snap i want to refocus, I got to select the option again. Its purely irritating and stupid.

Conclusion - A good VFM product if you are a novice or if this is your first camera. Easy to use and looks nice. I got this for my mom so it works fine in that role. But if I was to pick something for myself, I would skip this and pick up the Canon A3300 probably for a bit more dough.

hi all ,
got this beautiful small yet powerful digicam delivered to me on Sunday which was not expected but surprised and feels good .Thanks flipkart for making my Sunday…

about the S3100. I am happy with this product against the amount paid. It cannot be the best but is worth the price and the free gifts are also of good quality and good looks. Superb image quality , very compact (looks like a toy camera at the first look) , TV/AV cable , charger , battery ,memory card are addons to it. Not to forget , Flipkart has done a superb packing , even if you throw it from a 10 story building the camera will be un affected with this kind of packing.

May be I am wrong but the HD video records only upto 20 seconds..!!!! however if I turn to a vga mode it increases the time length upto 25 minutes . maybe I have to read the manual to change the settings.. otherwise it’s a lovely piece with no regret tag 
