Nikon Coolpix S710

Opinion: It's 4 days I received my Nikon S710 and test it.

Camera is build very well (nikon best), very easy tu use menu & fast start-up.

Photos during day with sun are SUPER as with a professional camera. 14 Mp are a lot.. and you see it in any detail of photos.

Shots with clouds or inside home are still very good. If you use tripod and long times, results are excellent as with sun. With fast times you see a little of noise, but is reasonable. If you use flash of course ther're no problems.

I like shot photos without flash, because usual results are much better (colors, etc..)

With photos during night noise is more visible, but you can reduce noise with long exposure or with flash for close subject.

I'll post soon some sample photos.

Ezio

Opinion: I am used to Canon 40d with a fast lens, and wanted to have a little point and shoot.

I was interested about noise. Cos I like to take photos in theatres, etc.

And the results are quite good. Noise at 100, 200, 400 iso is more than acceptable, and I am beeing exigent.

Pros:

Little body.
LCD. Sharp, accurate, and with useful multicoating.
Controls. Manual controls are simple to use. Very intuitive.
Focus. It is very precise.
VR. Effective system.
All electronics stuffs, like smile shutter and d-lighting (I dont use them)

Opinion: I’m a professional photographer who was looking for a high-end compact camera when not using my Nikon D2x. Overall this is a great little camera. First tests prints were impressive.

Opinion: I have this camera for about 2 weeks. Make nice pictures in most cases - sharp, with good colors and not much noise to ISO 400. ISO 800,1600 for emergency, but you don't need it very often as IS helps. Manual modes ASM are very good implemented.
