I am a novice photographer, who was looking for a good quality point-and-shoot to (hopefully) improve my ability to take good pictures. Specific features that interested me in this camera: the picture stabilization that compensates for hand-shaking; the compact size; usability of the interface and (I admit it) the ‘cool’ factor of this Nikon.
Some small gripes: The nonwireless version of the camera – the S52 – comes with a battery charger and charger cord. You cannot recharge the batteries through the USB connector to the camera; the only way to recharge is to have the battery charger at hand. Thus, you either have to lug around the charger and cord with you, or have a second charged battery for long outings. This isn’t really made clear in any of the product literature online – I did not understand this aspect until I read the user manual.
Another small gripe: The S52 Nikon camera here on Amazon.com here is at a great price (about $50 less than the price Nikon quotes on its website). I expected there to be at least a cheapo carrying case – for example, a felt bag – for the camera, but Nikon does not include any kind of case in the package. The camera is indeed small enough to slip in a pocket or purse, but it seems like a slipcase of some kind would have been a nice addition to the kit. Especially since there are a number of accessories you might need to take with you.
The camera itself is quite elegant, and packed with nice features. I love the camera but I am irritated about the cumbersome two-piece charger.

This camera is more than what the average person could ever want in a camera, the 9MP is enough to sell it but the zoom qualities, and picture qualities!…I would recomend this to anyone who is on a tighter buget than most, from what I have discoverd this camera will Prevail!

This is a great camera!!! The only drawback to this camera is the time it takes for the flash to re-charge…otherwise a truly great piece of equipment!!! I’ve taken it on every trip since I got in June and just love it!!! Learning the “modes” has proven a bit of a challenge, but well worth it for that one good picture!!

I picked up this camera x-mas time, it works well mostly. of any non-pro camera i have used it best mimics the results i am used to getting with a 35mm SLR in low light. I would love to keep this camera, however…
the macro setting does not focus. I have already exchanged the camera once at the point of sale, and the second camera had the exact same issue as the first. the camera as it tries to focus does at some point display an object at close range (with the macro setting on) in focus, but almost every time fails to select the correct focus when taking the shot. the resulting image is out of focus, regardless of the lighting condition. this is the poorest performance for marco shooting i have ever experienced from a pocket digital camera, regardless of brand.
as well customer support was useless – the web site has not responded to my query for more than a week now, and agents i spoke to on the phone were completely incapable of helping me, or even logging a complaint about the issue.
what looks like a sleek capable piece of equipment for shooting on the sly (no protruding lens) is definitely, not going to come through for those under cover operations… just try to take a detail shot of those classified documents and you’ll give yourself a headache trying to read the fine print. not just a let down for the spy on the go… but if you want to get the detail on a flower petal, or a piece of art – this camera just doesn’t cut it.
if the kinks get worked out this camera does have potential
