Nikon Coolpix S220 Digital Camera (Cobalt Blue)
Remember the Essentials
Sufficient memory is not included. Don't get caught without memory, get a high-capacity memory card.
The Nikon Coolpix S220 Digital Camera (Cobalt Blue) provides images with up to 10.0 megapixel of resolution, and a 3x Zoom-NIKKOR glass lens for incredibly sharp and detailed images. While the addition of Nikon's 4-way VR Image Stabilization technology that includes a sensitivity equivalent of ISO 2000, Motion Detection, and the exclusive Best Shot Selector (BSS) ensures that your photos will always look great - regardless of lighting conditions or subject movement. And all of these features are mediated by Nikon's innovative EXPEED image processing system which provides enhanced noise reduction and improved signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. Furthermore, the cameras slim, quality-crafted aluminum body delivers high performance and ease-of-operation in a package that you can carry around with you - always.
Nikon's Smart Portrait System ensures beautiful portrait and people shots by combining Nikon's innovative smile mode that automatically releases the camera shutter at the moment that your subject smiles, In-Camera Red-Eye Fix which automatically detects and corrects for red eye, D-Lighting which compensates for excessive backlight or insufficient flash in images, and Face Priority AF which automatically finds and focuses on up to 12 people's faces within one frame. Furthermore, the S220 includes Nikon's Coolpix Software Suite for organizing, editing and sharing your photos.
The back of this slim camera is dominated by a bright, high resolution 2.5-inch LCD monitor with a wide viewing angle and anti-reflective coating that provides for easy composition and viewing of photos even in direct sunlight, and an acrylic panel over the LCD prevents damaging scratches and fingerprints. The camera also boasts improved menu displays, as well as revised menu icons that will make framing photos easier than ever before.

I got this camera for pretty much everyday use. I am not a huge photographer but I am decent. This camera seems to have quite a bit of nice features it takes some getting used to if you aren't savvy with Nikons but once you figure everything out its rather nice. The pictures turn out great. The video seems real high quality. I really like my camera alot.
