Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - It breaks easily!
I actually liked the camera for the few months it worked. Then, one day, it slipped and I caught it half a second later, so it didn't fall down, just got a shake. It stopped working immediately: the lenses got stuck out, and the screen kept saying "Lens Error." I googled the problem, and it turned out many, many people had the exact same problem with this model. Why didn't I look this up before buying it? The suggested remedy was to give the lens a light tap, and, if it didn't work, a stronger one. Twenty taps later, it started working again for a few minutes, then got stuck again. I am outside the US now, and I don't even want to think what it would take to have it returned/fixed/etc.

Don't buy it. Look for something else and do your research.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Do not buy!!!
I bought this from Target 3 months ago. 4 days ago I went to take a picture and the screen was white. I contacted customer service and they told me to take the battery out and let it set over night claiming that would fix it. No dice! I hooked it up to my computer to upload my pictures, and I got an error message saying there was an error with the device. As I plugged it in, the lens went to retract and jammed. I reported that to Nikon and they said they would not repair any device that has any physical damage, even though it was obviously a manufacturing defect. So now I am out $150 a mere 3 months after I bought it.

Do Not Buy This Product! Unless of course, you like to waste money.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Worst nikon I've ever owned
I bought this camera from a Staples near me a little over a year ago. I have an SLR and was looking for something compact and light to take on vacation. From day 1 it's never worked right. It refuses to take still pictures in bright light, even though it'll shoot video in the same light conditions. Almost everything comes out blurry. I'm not a beginner camera user, but for point and shoot relaibility, I'm horribly disappointed in Nikon. It's actually so bad I've taken my SD card out and put it back in the box to sell at a yard sale for $10 just to get rid of it.

It's slick looking and portable, and fits in a pocket really well. The screen is great. The actual camera part is horrendous. Save your money and buy a different point and shoot.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - 3rd LCD screen in less than one year!
I bought this camera on an impulse before a trip last summer. 4 Days into the trip I turned on the camera to find the LCD screen had been broken. Neither my girlfriend or I could think of any likely scenario that would have caused such damage. After returning home and doing some research, it really upset me to find dozens of reviews online that echoed my same gripe about a fragile LCD screen.

Instead of going the route of trying to return/repair the screen through Nikon (which I discovered through online reviews/forums was almost as pricey as a new camera) I found another LCD screen online that was specifically designed for an s220. Then that one broke after about 9 months. I just today installed the 3rd LCD screen.

Do not buy this camera for this reason alone. But other reasons also apply: picture quality is definitely sub par to other 10 megapixel cameras I have used. The pictures are very grainy and/or blurry on most settings.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Fragile - Do Not Buy
I travel frequently and needed a small durable camera to document construction sites. With batteries and cards it was a nearly $200 investment. It worked great for two working days until I sat down with the camera in the front pocket of my suit pant. This is a loose suit. The pressure from the summer weight wool pant cracked the lcd view screen. I heard the pop. Nikon service offered me the discounted repair for $100. I declined repair.

Stay Away. Too Delicate For Any Type of Use.

It is cheap, not inexpensive. Nikon designed it that way.
I expected a better product and better support from Nikon.
Never again.
