Review: Thin is in - I have owned four or five digital cameras, going back to about 1999. Over the years, I have seen these cameras evolve, becoming more powerful, with more capacity and features, and at increasingly lower prices. I have a perfectly good Canon Powershot SX 150 and it takes fantastic pictures, although it is a bigger camera than this one. But like all people who are looking to find even more features at a better price-point, and also looking for a very thin, pocket size camera, after doing lots of online research, I settled on this Nikon. First of all, it is small. It is thin and it has many features that I will not go into, as they are readily available in the product description. Suffice it to say that I am impressed by this camera. The photos are crisp, the menus are intuitive, and making adjustments are straightforward. I will not be using the Wi-fi or video features, but would expect them to work very well indeed, based on the photos. The zoom. while not exactly earth-shaking is more than adequate for the amateur or serious amateur. If you ant more than 8X and are a serious camera enthusiast, get one of the $1K+ big boys. The EN-EL 19 battery is wafer thin, and takes a while to charge, but holds the charge quite well. I will probably get a backup battery and charger for trips. The camera took a 16GB SDHC class 10 card without a glitch. I am sure it will provide all the capacity I will need. One last thing, The instructions that come with the camera are pretty basic. But, as is becoming standard practice, you can go to the Nikon website and download the BIG instruction manual. 1-22-2016: I have now had this camera for about 9 months. I recently took on a trip to Hawaii and took around 500 photos at the highest resolution. Also took about 16 minutes of videos. The SDHC micro card easily handled all this information. My experience is that you can get about 300-350 photos on a single charge. Beforehand, I bought a spare battery and charger to take along. It paid off, as there was one time I had run out of juice, and changing over to the new battery took about 30 seconds. All in all, this is a fine camera. It does, as you may suspect, have limitations compared to other more expensive cameras -- wish the optical zoom was higher, but I do like the thinness of the camera. It fit easily into a small side cargo pocket on my shorts, and there was really no bulge at all. It's a keeper.
Review: Nikon COOLPIX S3700 Digital Camera with 8x zoom, # point and shoot cameras, #lightweight hand held cameras, #good camera menus - Nikon has my attention. Owning several cameras during my life, at 68 I am a more seasoned user since I did take photos for many years with a Mamiya 1000 DTL SLR and numerous lenses and filters. Now I am seeking the lightest weight camera, with the highest megapixels and a decent zoom ability - with a user friendly in-camera menu... and of course a better battery source than rechargeable alkaline batteries (which I find very frustrating at best). I own a ten year old Fuji Finepix E550 - and for it's time, a great little, light weight camera. I have reviewed the real manual (which is downloadable through the Nikon website) - and printed out pages I need to review until they are memorized. The in-camera menus are* intuitive and while the screen is tiny for my tired old eyes - put on your reading glasses and proceed! The buttons and menus are well organized - the "on/off" button is a little tiny, but unless you have super large hands - should not be an issue. Not having a 'view finder' is a drawback - but in such a tiny camera, I will get used to using the screen. My first few photos taken were excellent and I am a happy camper. I hope this camera holds up well since I love it already.

### ⭐ An item that must be returned immediately
*by D***I on May 9, 2015*

I received this camera just yesterday and already planning on returning it. I bought this camera as a "on the go" camera to just toss in my purse and carry around instead of my nice but large Panasonic professional camera. Though the camera is certainly nice and very small, if feels very cheap. I thought i was going to break it just inserting the battery and the memory card. I have taken about 25 pictures so far (night time, day time, indoor, outdoor, kids, dog, flower, selfie). every single one of these picture is blurry and looks distorted. Making me actually guess how is it possible for this camera to be a 20.1 megapixel. My iPhone camera takes better pictures than this. The digital screen quality is below mediocre making it really hard to see what you are taking a picture of. The lens is very slow on the zoom and struggles to focus on time. The WiFi interface is so below par with the rest of today's technology that I am surprised it's even a feature. All in all, very disappointed.
