2 out of 5 stars   I've got mixed feelings for this item

Review submitted for Nikon COOLPIX S8000 14.2 Megapixel Digital Camera (Black) (NKCPS8000K)
Pros:
Cons:
Other Comments: [...] I recived it and proceeded to use all its functions which went well till about the 50th picture. That is when the camera lens cover malfunctioned and stuck halfway open, and wouldn't move. I had to send it in for repair, AFTER ONLY 50 PICTURES! That SUCKS! The few pictures I was able to take seemed fine in every respect, the camera was relatively simple to use, I was happy with it till it prematurely malfuntioned.

2 out of 5 stars   Camera is much less than I would expect
By Not a happy Nikon cusotmer on August 31, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Nikon COOLPIX S8000 14.2 Megapixel Digital Camera (Black) (NKCPS8000K)
Pros: Nice Body Color
Cons: Poor Image Stabilization, Poor Image Quality, Movies do not play on Win
Other Comments: I bought an S3000 and an S8000. Neither of them take great pictures and the movies do not play on my Windows computers. I called customer support 4 times already and they do not help me. They asked me to send in some examples of pictures and movies. I sent them and then did not hear back from them. I called again after a week and they told me it would take 7-10 days to get a response. This is not a good way to keep a customer. I am very disappointed in Nikon.

2 out of 5 stars   Not what I hoped it would be
By Photo Enthusiast on August 23, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Nikon COOLPIX S8000 14.2 Megapixel Digital Camera (Black) (NKCPS8000K)
Pros: Great Zoom
Cons: Poor Image Stabilization, Panorama gives bad result, Poor Image Quality, Video is very jumpy
Other Comments: I was excited to get a camera that could take high def video and pictures. I am greatly disappointed with this camera. The panorama setting for this camera does not always work correctly. The video is smooth as long as you do not move. Once you start to pan the video is very jumpy on playback. If you watch it on the camera it seems OK, once you load it to the computer, it is bad. I recently went on vacation and took over 3000 pictures and about 1/3 of them came out blurry and a little out of focus. I would expect more from Nikon and a camera with these specs.

4 out of 5 stars   Amazing Camera
By SanJoseBuff on August 21, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Nikon COOLPIX S8000 14.2 Megapixel Digital Camera (Black) (NKCPS8000K)
Pros: Great Zoom, Good in Low Light, Good Image Stabilization
Cons:
Other Comments: Best camera I've seen for its size and zoom. Really recommend it. I've bought two of them so far. Been an Olympus fan all my life (still am) but this camera was the best at this time for its zoom and compactness. Optics is the primary qualification for my camera purchases, which narrows down to Olympus, Nikon and Cannon. Period.

5 out of 5 stars   Easy to use & takes stellar pictures!
By BB5 on August 17, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Nikon COOLPIX S8000 14.2 Megapixel Digital Camera (Black) (NKCPS8000K)
Pros: Good Image Stabilization, Short Lag Time, Nice Body Color, Great Zoom, Good in Low Light
Cons:
Other Comments: I decided to purchase the Nikon Coolpix s8000 after reading several mixed reviews. So far I have taken 550 pictures with it and they are stellar. Of course there are the occasional pictures that may be out of focus, but you will find that learning any new camera. Personally, I was looking for a point and shoot with great zoom capability that takes stellar stills, is compact, and worked well in low light conditions. These were all important because more often then not I'm on the motorcycle for shows and need something I can carry in my pocket and taking pictures well into the evening as well as indoors. The camera has also been great for capturing moments with the kids who aren't always the easiest to photograph. There can be slight lag between snapping shots with flash if you are trying to capture a lot of consecutive shots, but nothing noticeable to the point of getting upset about or being a deal breaker. I upgraded from older point and shoot cameras (5 megapixel Casio & Panasonic 7.2 megapixel). This is definitely an upgrade in all aspects. Great Nikon lens! Great zoom! Great pictures! Great LCD! Good battery life! I have also seen a lot of reviews complaining about video which I didn't care about to begin with because I have a HD digital camcorder for that, but I have taken some 15 second videos for fun and they came out nice. Video quality and sound were good on both my Mac and flat panel LCD using a HDMI cable for play back. I hope this review helps. Decided to write it because I saw so many mixed reviews out there and wanted to share my positive experience with this product.

By gaox on August 15, 2010

Review submitted for Nikon COOLPIX S8000 14.2 Megapixel Digital Camera (Black) (NKCPS8000K)
Pros: Good Image Stabilization, Short Lag Time, Nice Body Color, Good in Low Light, Great Zoom
Cons: None
Other Comments: I've had the camera for only a short period, but whatever I do with it so far, it has met the challenge. I'm not a professional but have been carrying, and using, my own cameras for 60 years. I also have a Nikon D90. I'm attending a wedding this weekend and I am taking the S8000.

5 out of 5 stars   Portable and easy to use
By Fix it on July 07, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Nikon COOLPIX S8000 14.2 Megapixel Digital Camera (Black) (NKCPS8000K)
Pros: Short Lag Time, Good Image Stabilization, Great Zoom, Nice Body Color, Good in Low Light
Cons: Usb cover is poor quality
Other Comments: I've only used the camera for two weekend trips so far. I have not used the video function but for still photos I really like the zoom and view screen allot. I find this camera has all the features one would need for travel and family pictures. It's exactly what I wanted and then some in a portable light weight camera.

4 out of 5 stars   Great Amateur Camera
By Sportsfan Mom on May 24, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Nikon COOLPIX S8000 14.2 Megapixel Digital Camera (Black) (NKCPS8000K)
Pros: Easy to use, Nice Body Color, Good Image Stabilization
Cons: Slow image stabilization, Limited Zoom
Other Comments: Camera size is perfect. Needed it to take photos and videos of kids playing sports but it isn't ideal for that. Easy to use with minimal technology (love that!) Great quality still photos. Zoom is good to a point then gets fuzzy. Photo download is easy. All in all it is the best camera I've ever had.

4 out of 5 stars   Great features but, not quite perfect!
By mykee on May 12, 2010
Verified Purchase
Review submitted for Nikon COOLPIX S8000 14.2 Megapixel Digital Camera (Black) (NKCPS8000K)
Pros: Good Image Stabilization, Good in Low Light, Great Zoom, 3" HD quality screen, 720p video
Cons: Battery charge location, Poor USB connection, Poor Flash location
Other Comments: With much anticipated arrival, I wasn't disappointed on style, quality of images, features and overall usage of camera. But, the placement of the flash is a bit questionable because most people tend to place their index finger where the flash pops up. Also, the inconvenience of needing to flip open the battery compartment to use the battery charger/USB connection was a poor choice.
