i really do love this camera...& have managed to get LOTS & LOTS of great shots from it(as long as it's day & sunny)...however...i have to say that photos at night don't work out too well(sometimes you get lucky though)...if there isn't enough light...it won't focus...which stinks when i'm trying to get a night time macro shot...plus i wish it had a faster shutter speed...& i also noticed that when the battery is getting low...the photo guality lessens...also in my opinion it's too sensitive to hand shaking & doesn't pick up the color purple correctly...but honestly for the price it's an awesome camera...really great for beginners in photography to learn with...i think that if i want better quality pics for macro shots then i'll just have to save up & get a higher quality camera w/ fancy lenses

This camera has been nothing but good to me. I consider myself to be a good photographer, and have great interest in it. I've known people with full DSLR's and they are blown away at the quality that this camera gives. The zoom is astounding, and very quick which is good when in a hurry to snap that picture. This camera has given me many awesome shots and I am delighted at the prospect of many more. It has gotten me hooked on Nikon cameras!

We are fond of displaying pictures taken with the camera on our HD TV for family and friends. If the picture is taken in horizontal mode the display is fine. However, if a picture is taken in vertical mode of a tall building, a churh spire for example, the display is tipped on its side. Every vertical mode picture must be rotated manually, which is a royal pain. Another camera, a competing brand, has an autorotate feature for display purposes which is a boon. Why Nikon couldn't build an autorotate feature into its camera program is beyond me. A Nikon technical representative confirmed the lack of an auto rotate feature.

I have yet to find a situation this camera could not handle. Low light indoor scenes are great. I replaced a 550 with the 630. I am taking my D80 out less and less. A lot of bang for the buck!

I use this camera continously all day at my job taking as many as 300+ pictures a day. Compared to the cameras that the other guys I work with use, this is absolutely this is best. They think so also. The only downside is the inability to see the screen in bright light. An old fashion viewer would on top would be a good improvement.

I use the camera for both personal use and business use. In business, it must be light, very easy to carry and stow and make great pictures from very close to very far. Close, it is top notch; far, it is a little weak (just not enough telephoto). When climbing out on a rig hanging over the side of a 72-story building to inspect joints, you don't want bulk. This camera is handy and is quick to adjust focal range. Pictures prove an excellent backup to notes taken. Move it over to personal use and it takes great pictures of people, scenery and poor golf swings. Not happy about the swing, but it was easy to set up to take a video of my golf swing from both back and side. This camera is just so handy.

My children gifted me the S630 and I love it. Takes wonderful photos, is easy to use and the large screen is perfect.
My only negative review is regarding the USB port which is not easily accessible due to the inability to move the cover over far enough.
Regardless, I highly recommend this camera

I'm in my 60's and this was my first digital camera. I wanted something durable; small enough to carry in my pocket; and not complicated to use, while producing fairly decent quality photos.
I found the S630 excellent in all areas in the automatic mode. I'm now taking a photography class and realize that once I learn manual mode as well, I will be able to take even better photos, depending on the situation.
Therefore, whether Novice, such as me, or professional, I believe for the money you can't beat the S-630, which I'm told from more experienced, has many features found on more expensive, larger cameras.

Since my normal camera is an 8x10 film camera, this, "little camera to stick in my pocket when out exploring," had much to live up to. I've been extremely pleased with the flexibility it provides. It would benefit greatly from the ability to control the aperture and depth-of-field. Regardless, I've been able to do some very nice work; and the 12 MP provides sufficient information that 12x prints are quite nice. Perhaps with the lowest ISO setting, little or no post processing, and the camera on a tripod, you might get an acceptable 16x20 out of it.

Easy to use, just wish the focus with the zoom was better. If I just take pictures and send them in for printing many seem to be out of focus. If not for the Nikon program to fix photos I would not like the camera as much.

Great for zoom picturers...I have a Nikon D40x and love it, but it is big and bulky when hiking or biking. The s630 takes pictures that can be cropped, the quality is awesome & it is easy to put into a backpack.

The camera is great. I have a Nikon user since 1964, this is my first digital camera. I get great pictures,but I miss an optical viewfinder. I am used to holding the camera to my eye. If an attachment could be made to be able to view at eye level, it would even better

I love this camera. It takes GREAT pictures. It is very easy to use. Easy to upload the pictures from the camera to my PC. Nikon allows for easy editing when my pictures are "not so well taken" -- cropping, etc. I love the face recognition and the alert in case someone blinked. I even got that message when I took a picture of a sleeping baby, so it not only detects blinks, it knows when eyes are closed. Wonderful product!

The features on this product are almost endless. Purchased for the macro capability and have found so many other useful capabilities.
The photos from this camera have all been very sharp and as good as can be expected. It meets or exceeds all the specs
