 Hardy Camera, Disappointing QualityAug 31, 2010
I bought this camera because I wanted a point and shoot that still allowed me to have manual settings. When I got it, I was a little disappointed in the picture quality. The contrast is usually pretty flat, sometimes it is grainy. Sometimes it doesn't use the flash when I think it should, etc. All of this can be fixed using iPhoto, so if you're not picky it's not a big deal. (I usually do some editing anyway so it works out fine.)
However, the major redeeming quality of this camera is what happened on Christmas Eve of last year: Running across the yard to help my boyfriend get his car out of a snow drift, it bounced out of my coat pocket. I had no idea what had happened to it, so didn't think to look in the yard where it laid under 6 inches of snow for a month. My aunt found the camera after the snow had melted, handed it back to me, and it immediately turned on and took pictures.
It's definitely a durable camera and the picture quality is still doable. I would recommend this camera.
 Nikon S710Aug 01, 2010
This is a very simple camera to use. It has great zoom capabilities and with the vibration reduction it hard not to take a good picture.
 A bit junkyJul 24, 2010
I previously owned a Nikon Coolpix 4200 and after about 3 years of flawless service in conditions ranging from zero degree winter hikes to summer boat trips I thought Nikon made the best point-n-shoots. Maybe they do, but the S710 is an exception. The BIOS chip that holds date/time failed several days into a trip to Spain. I didn't bother fixing it, and probably should have sent it back. On my next trip the LCD cracked (it's almost always in a case) and dust somehow got through the casing and into the optics, causing dark spots in my shots.
Lots of people report lens errors. I never had a permanent problem, but the lens assembly is very fragile and just nudging it will cause the camera to freeze up.
Good points? The low-light performance is decent for a point-n-shoot, and the vibration reduction works okay. Like most Nikons the flash is almost too good, washing out many shots and causing a lengthy recovery cycle after each shot. Like others have pointed out the 14.5 MP is a waste on a chip as small as the one in this Nikon.
Can't recommend this, though. Nikon needs to improve the durability before I get another one.
Great Features, HORRIBLE PRODUCT... If that's possible.Jul 01, 2010
Today, 7/1/2010 will be the 3rd LENS ERROR I've gotten on my S710, within two and a half months. I've only owned the camera for 6 months and I've never used it, aside from taking silly pictures to become more familiar with the settings and features of the camera (which might I add are amazing)! None of that matters now because I have an event which I will be needing my camera and now I won't have it to use. The 1st two encounters with Nikon's customer service were pleasant. This time around, they seemed to be annoyed with me, that I'm reporting their product is a P.O.C., as if it's my fault. I would highly recommend people to NOT even consider Nikon.

It works good, it has amazing quality when used just right. Im not to experienced with cameras so to get quick pictures with movement like in partyes and such you cant really use the auto mode like you can with some cameras, you will have to mess with some other options. It can get fired up real fast, battery life is great, as for duribulity is questionable cause i dropped it once on some grass, then it started having lens issues after a day or so. But the customer service was great. they fixed it for free. ok thank later.
