Nikon Coolpix S220 Digital Camera (Aqua Green)
The Nikon Coolpix S220 Digital Camera (Aqua Green) 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.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix S220 Digital Camera (Aqua Green):
The Nikon S220 isn't the most feature rich camera, but it takes beautiful pictures easily and fast with an impressive DPOF.
I got this for my wife who wanted a simple "Point & Shoot" camera. After reviewing several different camera's features and easy of use, I chose this one because and best of all, it was one of the cheapest.
One big choosing factor for me with all cameras is the menus. I have seen some cameras that have confusing and difficult to navigate menus, but the Nikons had simple and well designed menus. With a couple of button clicks, you can switch to several predefined scene modes and for shots you want a bit more control over, it doesn't take much to fine tune all the settings. You can set ISO (which you can set very high and still get decent pictures), WB, Exposure, AF priorities (such as face detection), Color mode, Single shot to Several different burst modes (including 16 shots at 7 fps, and a best shot option that takes several and then saves the best focused), and many other things.
The only things that are not the greatest is it's zoom. This camera only has a 3x optical, which is fine for most situations and for a "Point & Shoot", but does limit it's range. Although I could not justify the extra $50+ to get a similar camera with a 4x or 5x zoom.
All in all, this is a great little camera, and my wife LOVES the fun color and definitely the small size.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix S220 Digital Camera (Aqua Green):
Camera is used for travel photos and snapshots of friends
I am completely disappointed with this camera. Photos are blurry in low light even with the flash and shutter speed is slow. It doesn't produce the crisp clear photos I have come to expect with a Nikon camera (this is my 4th Nikon) I am returning it for a refund.
I purchased this model for its small size.
