Pictures are grainy.
Its sad that I have to take a picture 4-5 times just to try and get one that looks normal. The pictures come out grainy despite a steady hand and normal focus.
The pictures are grainy in all lighting and different environments. It is very frustrating. My phone takes better pictures.
Finally, the picture size when saved to my computer are VERY large.
DO NOT BUY. SAVE YOUR MONEY!!

Poor Picture Quality on S230
I am a diehard Nikon user. I have a D200 DSLR and I really wanted a nice point and shoot to compliment my DSLR. And to have to use in not so nice conditions and not have to worry about it so much. Well the S230 has been a terrible disappointment. As a picture junkie, I have been SAD to load my photos and see how bad they are. It has ruined my memories of my most recent trips. I looked to see if maybe Nikon had provided some firmware updates to improve the quality but it hasn't. Pictures are blurry, and foggy in all lighting conditions and lack sharpness. Just awful!!

Very disappointed
I was very excited to own a Nikon touch screen camera, bought with my very own first paycheck. Grossly disappointed. I thought it was just my camera but it seems otherwise. Blurry pictures, orbs blurring pictures clicked at night in the dark, camera freezing while you go through the pics, Next time I buy I definitely will not go for Nikon. Attached a worst case pic

okay but breaks easily
I loved this camera until the touchscreen just stopped responding in the middle of taking pictures. The camera is less than a year old. I had another coolpix and upgraded to this one. I won't be buying another touchscreen one.

This is the WORST camera I have SEEN!!!!!!!
We have owned this camera for a little over a year, I bought it for My wife as a Christmas presant and it was the worst thing I could have waisted My 175 Dollars on. From the day We owned it MOST of the pictures are BLURRY, We were told to try different setting - This did NOT work and besides that if I have to change a setting every time I would rather have a DEPENDABLE CAMERA that will take QUALITY PICS all THE TIME. After LOSING OUT ON GETTING IMPORTANT PICTURES OF WEDDING, BAPTISM and MY Grand CHILD I WILL NEVER BUY from this COMPANY(NIKON) AGAIN. My ADVICE IS STAY A WAY and DONT WAIST YOURE MONEY ON THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE!!!!

Use Nikon Transfer to download, you can set it to only import new images. After you have saved your images format the card each tome you use it and that will save any future image duplications.8 months ago
