4 way VR Image Stabilization minimizes the effects of camera shake for sharper results

  • Nikon's Optical VR image stabilization compensates for the effects of camera shake by moving the image sensor.
  • Motion Detection automatically detects a moving subject and adjusts shutter speed and the ISO setting to compensate for camera shake and subject movement.
  • High ISO 6400 capability helps give you sharper results when shooting in low light or capturing fast-moving subjects.
  • Nikon's original Best Shot Selector automatically takes up to 10 shots while the shutter is pressed and saves the sharpest image.

GREAT! 5 by .. K. Hall (St. Louis, MO)
I was in desperate need of a new digital camera! I have an OLD version of Nikon coolpix 4800 but I love the 8x optical zoom. My friends all made fun of the giant size of it! After I saw the S630 coolpix advertised I really wanted to try it out. I went to the store and played around with it then purchased it through Amazon and got a great deal! I am VERY pleased with this camera! I took it to the Lake with me and played around with it and got some good shots! I was even able to record video of my friends innertubing at full zoom and the clarity is great! I have the settings on auto mode and the camera does a great job! All I can say is some of these negative reviews must be due to user error or they are professional photographers expecting TOO much! If you are interested in this camera, I must say I am VERY happy with my purchase. If I could figure it out, I'd share some of the great pics and videos I took! Good luck with your purchase!

Tested for 3 weeks in Europe ... 5 by .. Integrity Trainer (Northbrook, IL USA)
I purchased a Nikon Coolpix S630 just before I went to Europe five weeks ago. After 1000 pictures of mountain tops, people, dark museums and action shots, I am done testing it and am very pleased. For years I wanted a hassle-free camera with a high amount of optical zoom yet small in size and shoots well without a lot of light. I hoped to spend less money but was afraid a cheaper camera would frustrate me due to lack of features, poor quality or confusing operation. The S630 gives me all I want in a camera for a reasonable price.

My cousin was a professional photographer and he is impressed with how well this camera performs. Closeups of flowers are great. Pictures displayed on a 42" TV have great resolution and color accuracy. Photos of poorly lit rooms have bright colors. Video and audio quality also are impressive.

Reading reviews critical of this camera made me a little nervous about deciding to buy this camera but I am glad that I figured out they are overly critical except for the zoom speed. The zoom motor is too fast and you often overshoot where you want it to stop. All too often it will not stop where you want it to and you have to step forward or backward to frame the shot. No camera will always produce a perfect shot on the automatic setting. Photography is a learned skill. The large screen lets you see if the shot did not come out right. You learn and try one of the other settings available. Battery life was roughly 125? pics. Time between pics is a little slow, but OK.

PROS: Quality pictures, video and audio; 7x optical zoom in a small body; logical hassle-free operation; reasonable price; low light pics are outstanding; has many other nice features.

CONS: 1) Zoom speed as described above. 2) The Nikon S630 does not use common batteries, so you need to pay for a special spare battery that you need to keep charged at all times. 3) The software included has no editing capability just viewing and transferring. 4) The optional Leather Case (Nikon #5811) is too small to carry a spare battery or extra memory card. I bought a case at Wal-Mart that works perfectly. It was a little tight at first, but it stretched out after a couple days.

Great little camera! 5 by .. H. Potter (Dallas, TX)
This is actually my second Coolpix 630. My first one was stolen. I immediately ordered another one because dollar for dollar no other camera can produce the results I got from this small and handy powerhouse.

The zoom is great at 7X optical, and 12 megapixel gives me all the resolution any normal user will ever need. Easy to use features, including an "auto" that does all the work for you. I can even make movies.

I studied long and hard before I bought and my research paid off handsomely. I strongly recommend this product. My only suggestion is to spend the $40 for a 150X memory card for ultra-fast operation between shots.

Excellent small digital camera 5 by .. Sandy Feet (Florida USA)
I bought this for travel so I would not have to carry my Nikon D70. The pictures have the same expected quality as from my SLR camera. The zoom control is not as flexible as I would like. It seems to want to go from one extreme to the other rather than slowly letting you choose the power of zoom. Other than that it is extremely nice to carry, fits easily in my jeans pocket or my purse.

Great Camera!!! 5 by .. Gerald Nogues (Albuquerque, NM)
This is the fourth Nikon camera I have had, and like the others I was not disappointed. The camera takes great pictures, even when zoomed out. The only fault I find with the camera is that the zoom button is too touchy. The menu is easy to navigate and gives you lots of ways to personalize your picture taking. Unlike some cameras this camera even takes great night photos, even when hand held. Would highly recommend this camera.
