Advantages: Incredibly easy to use and amazing picture quality

Disadvantages: At very close range, blurred images

I had been researching digital cameras for ages for use on vacations and at special events, and the Nikon CoolPix was constantly recommended as the best value-for-money point-and-shoot camera on the market. I bought the S220 in blue, and have been absolutely delighted with the product. I am hardly technologically savvy, but I have found it incredibly easy to use - easy zoom, picture editing, and delete features. The face recognition technology is also great, as even pictures that you take on the go come out great! My one problem is that up close, the pictures can be blurred - for instance, I was taking picture of a bottle with small print on it, and from every angle I took it at, the text was blurred. But I had a Sony Cybershot before this camera and was constantly disappointed with a yellow-tinge to all the pictures. The colors captured by the CoolPix have all been true to life, and the image quality is great. If you aren't interested in spending more than £200 on a digital camera, I couldn't recommend the CoolPix enough!

Summary: Very good for the holiday photographer!
