Comments about Nikon Coolpix S710 Digital Camera (Graphite Black):
The first time I turned this camera on, I got a lens error. I turned it off and back on and it didn't happen again, but I was concerned. I thought it might just be because I touched the lens on accident or something. Apparently, this camera has lens issues. After searching online, the "Lens Error" is a common defect. After using this camera for the 3rd time, I received another lens error that does not allow the lens to retract at all, and the camera makes noises and shuts off. It was in a case before this happened, so I'm not sure why it happened. The photo/video quality was pretty good, but it's only good if the camera will turn on. This was my first experience with Nikon, but I will be switching back to a Canon point and shoot.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix S710 Digital Camera (Graphite Black):
I took about 500 shots with this cam in just a few days at the SEMA show in Vegas. Overall the pics were great and it makes good movies too.
Only problem is I just sent it back to Nikon today because dirt found it's way onto the CCD. I have no idea how as I have treated the camera very well and haven't used it in particularly dusty conditions. One spot now shows up on all photos. The spot looks like a hair. Maybe it was left in the camera during assembly and migrated onto the CCD.
If camera is going to be susceptible to dust it should have a vibrating CCD so user can clean instead of having to send the camera back.
