Nikon Coolpix S3000 Review
Nikon S3000 camera is more than a credit card and less than an inch thick, the set of compact fit in tight jeans. He feels quite well built and has a comfortable weight for their size. 2.7-inch LCD standard for price and it is difficult to see in sunlight – just average. The bodies of mostly plastic, but all buttons except the power switch and metal. Menu mode button on the back of small, but they raised a little and easy to find. Shutter release button on top of approximately the same size, battery hearing aid in the mounting flange to increase tilter. The battery and media card compartment has a plastic door that feels like it is well attached to the body. The retainer covers the A / V port, and a plastic tripod mount sits on the bottom left of the camera. I was surprised by the quality of assembly. It is hard for such a cheap camera.
Image Quality
If you set your expectations low, you will be reasonably satisfied with the mediocre quality of the image in the S3000. This exceeds some shit cameras out there. Outdoor photo quality is fine. Details get in bad faith on the edges and there’s little depth in the photos, so everything looks flat. But the color, and precise attention usually locks on something, even if it is incidental detail or in the foreground or the background of the photo. Bizarre, but it could be worse.

When it comes to indoor shots, his point and pray. Just keep in mind how difficult it can be to get good shots even at some $ 200 + point and shoots. You’ll have a hard time getting a good indoor pictures with the S3000, so you’ll either a) agree that you should spend more money, if you want the camera works well in awkward lighting, or b) live with limitations in S3000.
First, ISO setting fully automatic, so that the pictures at the mercy of the court in the S3000. It’s quick, to move to higher ISO in any situation a little dark, as expected, nothing at ISO 400 and above is noisy. If for some reason is to select low ISO and shutter speed slower, the shots to give in camera shake (although the vibration reduction is to solve this problem a bit). The solution, of course, swallow your pride and turn on the flash. You get blown out of the orange-tinted actors and virtually no details of the background, but you get the “use” each time the trigger.
User Interface and Experience
S3000 is designed for novice users, and as such, provides little manual control. User choice in automatic mode, portrait intelligent scene selection or automatically select 16 scene presets (including panorama assist) – not in programming mode can be found here. Some basic manual settings can be changed as flash, macro mode, as well as exposure compensation, but it is not possible to control the level of ISO, white balance or auto-focus.
The menu system also seems to be aimed at brainless operation point-and-shoot. All modes and sub-modes in the same multi-level menus, including video mode, not a special button video.All this can be frustrating for more advanced camera, but the S3000 so simple, first of all, it does not matter. He still can not hold a candle to the same intuitive cheap Canon.

Conclusion
S3000 is a mediocre camera. There’s no way to hell, you can get for posting photos of this thing, and if you want any additional features or plan to do any semi-serious photography, it’s not the camera for you.
But it is passable for the price, and better than its predecessor by a mile. In principle, S3000 is the type of camera to keep around quickly, and random pictures posted on Facebook or Flickr.But even with that I’m still not sure this is a worthy purchase. If you have a good camera mobile phone, you can compare it with the sample images here and decide if the shots S3000 are clear, to justify the cost. Frankly, if you can spare even $ 50, you get a much better camera. If you really, really stuck in this price class, some of the cheap Canon cameras are worth a look.They are ugly and feel pretty flimsy, but the image quality a step above.
