Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon Coolpix S7c 7MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical ZoomCustomer Review: Takes flattering photos that are true to color! Summary: 5 Stars
Pros:
-Small size and weight; Can fit into pocket or purse without feeling you are carrying a brick. Sleek design and large 3" LCD has 230,000 resolution, which means when you take a picture you can actually see how clear the picture is and you don't have to zoom in to see what it looks like. Not the case with SD 600/630. The new canon model coming out soon has highter resolution.
- Takes great snapshots with flash or without flash with plenty of light. Not for those that love to play with tons of settings and I would agree with previous reviewer that ISO settings worsen the quality of the picture. Adjusting the exposure isn't difficult and you would need to click through the menu to adjust it, but that's something that all digital cameras require.
-The color of the picture is more true to color than what I've experienced with Canon powershot A70, SD 600/630 and the flash isn't so powerful that it creates an unrealistic brightness or whiteness to people's faces. The flash creates an even brightness throughout the entire picture as opposed to just adding light to your face and leaving the background pretty dark
-Very easy to use; Very easy menus
Cons:
-The picture isn't as sharp as the Canon SD600/630 when you take a picture inside without the flash and don't have adequate lighting, but it is perfect with the flash on.
-You have to hold camera steady and any slight movement might blur the shot, which is true of other digital cameras, but the Nikon s7c is a little more sensitive to that. Same thing with moving objects.
-Smaller buttons, but the camera is small and thin to begin with, thus, you can't expect to have a tiny little thing with large buttons.
-No viewfinder, which didn't bother me, because I don't use it to take a picture, but some people prefer to have it.
-Lithium ion battery doesn't last very long (other digital cameras use a lithium ion battery as well, but there are some that use double AA size batteries so when the recharecheable batteries die, you have an alternative. Those would be larger cameras, of course.)
Overall, this is a camera that takes great snap shots. If you are in low light, use a flash, don't bother with iso settings. It's just not meant for those things and when I go to any event, I really don't have the time to play around with settings and just want a good quality picture without pushing too many buttons. I was looking for a camera that takes true to color photos with a flash that adds flattering light as opposed to overexposed faces that make people look frighteningly pale.
I love it, but no camera is perfect with every feature.
Try it out and compare it to others and look for the features that matter to you!
