Customer Reviews
GREAT Auto Focus Camera,By S. Gebhardt “bsgeb”
I purchased a $400 Canon auto-focus, image-stabilizer camera about 2 1/2 years ago and hated it from “Day One.” My husband claimed it was “operator error,” until he tried changing every setting to see if he could get it to take decent pictures. We finally gave up and bought a new camera about one month ago: the Nikon S8000 from amazon.com. I couldn’t be happier. The pictures are awesome with or without the telephoto. Unlike my Canon, the Nikon takes nice pictures in low light situations, or when shooting into the sun (with flash turned “on.”) The controls are very intuitive and I like the “scene” feature to tell the camera if you are taking a portrait, landscape, night portrait, indoor shot, beach/snow, sunset, dusk/dawn, night landscape, close-up (such as a picture of a flower), etc. The only negatives I have found are the placement of the flash (as noted by previous reviewers); it’s in an awkward place where some people would normally place their left index finger to hold on to the top of the camera. I also find that the LCD screen is very hard to see in bright (outdoor) light, even when adjusted to the brightest setting it can be. However, I can live with a few minor inconviences as this camera takes just awesome pictures! I have always loved Nikon cameras and wished my husband had NEVER talked me into the Canon. After two+ years, I am finally ENJOYING photography again!
Best camera of this type,By Owhatagoosiam
I have lots of cameras, including a another Nikon and a Canon 50D. I bought this for my wife’s use, but use it some myself, because it’s so easy to stick in the pocket and shoot.
The image quality is very good. The Camera is well made and the zoom range with minimal distortion for this camera type is great. I am satisfied, BUT, I hate the flash placement-I still find my finger on the top of the flash and I have to manually bring it up to position. I also dislike having to charge the battery in the camera. All considered, knowing what I know after using the camera, I’d buy it again.
Coolpix S8000,By Nolan Vockrodt
Great Camera, fast shipping. I bought this camera from Amazon which works with other suppliers like
Adorama. They are excellent, I have bought from them before and highly recommend them.

I have used it for a month.The flash is located at the edge where you hold the camera which is inconvenint.The camera perfomes good.The door of the battery chamber opens spontaneously.The camera is light and compact to carry.
Nicest quality camera i’ve owned,By Michael Kinney “Mike Kinney”
I’m not an expert when it comes to dealing with cameras but i’ll do my best to describe my experience with it. Before this camera, I owned a cheap olympus and a fuji film camera. Quality wise, this is better than all of them. Pictures and videos are very smooth on this camera. There is however, one slightly annoying problem. During video mode, there’s a light beeping sound that doesn’t go away. For the most part, it’s not an issue with me because I mostly use it to take pictures and if I want to make an extensive home video, I’ll use a camcorder. For the price, this is a very good deal considering most camera’s that contain 14.1 mp for each pic usually cost more than this camera.
