Nikon COOLPIX S5200 Digital Camera

Nikon COOLPIX S5200 Wi-Fi CMOS Digital Camera with 6x Zoom Lens (Blue) (Electronics) Before leaving for a European holiday, we purchased the S5200 for a very good sales price (in relation to full retail cost). But even at the discounted price, it was not worth the money! The battery life was virtually non-existent (we were amazed at how quickly the battery drained!). Most pictures with the zoom quality were very poor, especially indoor pictures - most are blurry using the zoom (we assume some of this was due to our getting used to the camera).

However, the coup d'état - when attending an outdoor event, front row seats, and looking forward to using the zoom - the camera stopped working! It turned on, the lense extended for a few seconds and then closed, and then the 'lens error' message appeared. After the event, via a computer blog, I trouble shooted the matter, tried what was recommended - take battery out, put back in, charge the battery, etc. Did not correct the situation. In total, we had the camera for 10 days before it malfunctioned.

This is so disappointing! We always thought that Nikkon made quality products so we did not think about checking consumer ratings. And, when considering other Nikkon Coolpix cameras, according to the consumer ratings reviewed, there are problems with this Nikkon camera product range, so it is not worth the risk or the money to try a Nikkon replacement camera. What is most disappointing - that Nikkon would even consider having these cameras on the market!
