Digital camera Review: A bit junky
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
