These include Nikon's innovative smile mode that automatically releases the camera shutter at the moment that your subject smiles, Blink Warning, when activated alerts you that the subject may have blinked and allows you to retake the photo, 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, Skin Softening smoothes skin tone at three different levels for optimal portraits, and Face Priority AF which automatically finds and focuses on up to 12 people's faces within one frame.

I used this product within a few hours after purchase. I could not believe its performance. One thing that it does, it slips into any pocket, and takes super pics. The only thing that I have against it is the battery. Lithium Ion type batteries run down quickly, and do not hold a charge too well. I since have purchased a Duracell battery that performs better than the original, and I still am quite happy with its performance. Maximum photos on a 8GB card runs into the thousands. More than enough space available for a video too.

I got this camera for it's compactness and Nikon name. I intend to use this where I cannot take my D80. it performs well in day light, but in low light and where flash is needed, the pictures are extremely pixelated. I am trying to restrict the ISO to 400, but still the low light picture are not up to par with NIKON expectations.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix S4000 Digital Camera (Silver):
I use this camera as a "carry with me everywhere for quick shots" camera. It is very good at that. It's also very nice to take pretty decent videos. I love the simplistic easy to use touch screen navigation that is still very powerful.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix S4000 Digital Camera (Silver):
i was very thorough when looking through comments and reviews when i was looking for a camera. this one seemed to do very well in the comments area, but after using it i am frustrated with the touch screen. i have had issues with the touch screen ever since i got it. the picture quality is good and everything else is fine, but the touch screen is very frustrating.

Comments about Nikon Coolpix S4000 Digital Camera (Silver):
Bought this as a gift for a client who is a tattoo artist. He showed me some photos of his work afterward and, for the price, this camera is a bit of a beast. (I mean that in the best possible way.) We were both pleasantly surprised by how sophisticated this camera was for the price!
This guy used to take some of the worst photos I've ever seen! But this camera takes all of the work out of casual photography. He said the camera assists in framing the photos and finding the focal points. It's also very small, so he can keep it in his pocket. (I got him a case as well so the camera is protected in his pocket). I thought the touch screen display was a nice feature. No more big hands fumbling with tiny buttons!

Comments about Nikon Coolpix S4000 Digital Camera (Silver):
Very happy with this camera. The touch screen feature makes life a lot easier for a person with little photography knowledge. It isn't called point and shoot for nothing.The size makes it a little difficult for a person with big fingers but other than that it is excellent. Also the large screen and double the amount of screen pixels makes the screen very sharp.
