Customer Reviews

Easy to Use
I have had this camera for over a month and have been very happy with its performance. The pictures are extremely clear when downloaded to my computer. The setting menus are simple to use. The cameras round edge where you place you picture thumb is a nice ergonomic feature. The two areas of concern are: 1.) The cover for the USB port cable seems very flimsy and could easily break from the cord attaching it to the camera. I have not had any problems with this, but is seems very cheap. 2.) The Camera LCD appears grainy when focusing on an image. Although the pictures when downloaded to my computer appear clear with no hint of graininess.
Given the two concerns, I would definitely buy this camera again given the choice of current cameras on the market.

Coolpix S630
This little Nikon was perfect for what I was looking for. Just went on a trip to London and Paris and took over 750 shots. The camera was great no worries. The quality and features where as expected from Nikon. Picture quality was very good and the zoom was excellent for this size camera. Battery life was just a little less than I expected but it would last an entire day before another charge was needed. Overall I would recommend this camera

Worst point and shoot/ pocket camera I've ever owned
I'm a bit of a camera geek. A few years ago, I went on a vacation where I couldn't take my big, bulky digital SLR, so I bought a Nikon P4 that fit in my pocket. I had actually forgotten how much fun a simple point and shoot camera could be! Sadly, that camera met an untimely end a few weeks ago.

I started shopping for a new pocket camera, and the Nikon S630 seemed to be a pretty amazing little package with 12MP and 7x optical zoom. As the old saying goes, it was too good to be true. I had it for about 3 weeks, and returned it.

The photos taken with the S630 camera had a ridiculous amount of noise in them. Every photo seemed grainy, lines were not sharp, etc. The majority of the photos I took with it were pictures of friends taken outdoors in bright sunlight- in other words, perfect conditions for a pocket camera. No pocket camera in the world should have a problem in these conditions, but the Nikon S630 couldn't do it. If a posed group shot in bright sunlight was too much for this camera, I can't imagine what a nighttime shot would be like. I also took a few shots using the flash, and they were no better than the others I took. Indoor photos taken with and without the flash had a somewhat yellowish-green color to them. I shot a total of 220 photos, and only had 18 that were of good enough quality to keep.

I'm a fan of Nikon, but I would not recommend the Nikon S630 to anyone. In fact, I plan to find a refurbished Nikon P4 (the camera I was replacing) instead of buying another newer model.
