Quick Take: The Nikon Coolpix S3 is a 6-megapixel compact point-and-shoot with a big 2.5-inch LCD screen and 17 shooting presets. It includes a charging cradle, and it can use PictBridge to directly print to any compatible photo printer. It's pretty expensive for a compact camera, though; unless size is critical, the slightly larger, slightly cheaper Nikon Coolpix S4, with its swiveling 10X zoom lens, might be a better choice

Summary: The Nikon Coolpix S3 is a standard ultra compact digital camera. Very little stands out as being very good or very bad. One point in its favour is it is one of the few six megapixel slimline cameras.
Summary: An average camera for the average user. The S3 isn't a bad choice, it takes some fairly good snaps, has most of the basic functions...but so do most of its competitors.
