Nikon Coolpix S7000 reviews

Pluses: Simple, comfortable, lightweight. Large zoom, decent image quality even at maximum zoom.
Disadvantages: Inconvenient flash location. Easy to cover with your finger. When shooting with a flash at close range, the lens shadow appears in the frame.
Disadvantages: Great travel model where speed and convenience are paramount to ideal settings.

Vdovina Vera


Pluses: Affordable price, compactness, quick readiness for shooting. 20x zoom allows you to shoot far-away objects, animals, birds, without getting close to them. Sometimes I use it to see distant objects in the photo that I cannot see with my eye. Not a bad macro mode (although the maximum clarity in such photos is in the center, and the edges are blurred). Photos taken at dusk turn out better than phones.
Disadvantages: Sometimes he thinks for a long time after some photos. The display is easy to scratch, besides, dust somehow gets under the outer glass from the side where the buttons are. A large speck of dust was also found under the outer glass of the lens, it is not clear how it got there, but it does not seem to interfere with shooting. Photos taken under electric light come out with a strong orange tint, so you have to change settings when shooting indoors.
Disadvantages: I needed an inexpensive camera that shoots better than smartphones, with support for Full HD videos. In general, this fotik met expectations.

Pluses: Excellent photo detail! Nice 1080p video shoots if you play with the settings! In macro and portrait photography, blurring the background is good.
Disadvantages: Terrible autofocus! Sometimes you make a portrait, and instead of a cool “BOKE”, it blurs the person. Few manual settings.
Disadvantages: Very good for a 12K soap dish! I understand a lot about photography and filming. If you want a budget – take it!

The user has hidden his data


Advantages: – Compact – Good stabilizer – Simple and logical menu – Decent zoom – Smart enough – Wi Fi
Disadvantages: – Lack of any manual settings when shooting. Before buying, I saw that this model does not have them, I thought I can do it, but as it turned out, it is not always possible to take pictures of everything on the “automatic”. – Disgusting focusing in low light. At first, I generally thought that the camera was faulty, but then I realized that it simply did not have enough light. In rooms with artificial lighting, focusing on an object is very problematic, and sometimes even completely impossible. Fotik does not understand what they want from him. – The mode dial is periodically buggy. Writes that it is in the wrong position (or something like that).
Disadvantages: I bought it as a camera “for every day”, I carry it with me in my bag everywhere and always, so a compact body was a priority when choosing. This is my first “soap”, so I have nothing to compare with. I use it for half a year, mostly I shoot videos. In the summer I took it on a trip, fell out of my hands on the asphalt, the body was slightly crumpled, but the camera is working properly. The COOLPIX S7000 is perfect for amateurs. The quality of the photos is at a good level, although it is clear with the naked eye that it is far from the simplest DSLR. You can safely forget about staged shooting, especially indoors. On the street in sunny weather, it shoots great! For me, the biggest disappointment with this model was the autofocus, which is so difficult to navigate in low light. There are no complaints about the rest.

Kuznetsov Alexander


Advantages: something is covered in the fotik again. The clarity has disappeared when pointing, in general, it is getting worse and worse and not so and we often use it.
Disadvantages: the mode dial switches itself. plus in video recording mode it often stops video recording by itself. Lost clarity when hovering, that is, then no, generally disappointed, but it costs a lot.
Disadvantages: twice under warranty for repair in the service center, they mutuzit the fotik for 40 days, of course after that he worked for two months and then again for the old one. Something else is better. the quality of the pictures is really good.

Dirusdi


Pluses: Excellent zoom, good photo and video quality. Of course, you cannot compare with professional cameras, for a compact one it is just excellent
Disadvantages: afraid of sand, dropped into sand, even after repairs at high magnification, the focus began to go astray, there is not enough manual exposure for night photos
Disadvantages: Photo quality is better than that of inexpensive DSLRs

MainGame


Pluses: High-quality photos, zoom, video !!!
Disadvantages: The mode selection roller switches a little tightly (may not have been developed yet)
Disadvantages: Great camera! If you set the modes correctly, then the pictures are just wonderful. The zoom is stabilized, distant objects can be brought closer and in the photo you cannot distinguish that this is a frame with a zoom. Macro shooting also pleased. In a word, everything suits you!

Orlova Anna


Advantages: When choosing a camera, there were three requirements: 1) quality of photos; 2) small size (to fit in your pocket); 3) good zoom (this is the main thing). Nikon Coolpix S7000 meets all these requirements. The zoom is perhaps the main advantage. The camera is suitable for those who often take pictures of architecture (especially from the outside, where an approximation is just necessary – you need to take a closer look at the details, a good angle is only from afar or a dog is running nearby, which does not like passers-by, etc.) and tourists in general. Even “moving objects” are obtained. Once I photographed a running cat at a great distance, did not expect that something sensible would turn out, but it did. Indoors (for example, at some events with not very good lighting, but not in a completely dark room) it also works. In general, there are no comments on the zoom. In the case and in the pocket, it does not turn on itself. You can safely put in a pocket without a cover. Only because of the protruding lens, I would not put it in a bag with other items without a case. Photo quality is good, A4 can be printed. No unnatural colors were noticed either.
Disadvantages: No significant. Macro in the wind is not always good. Well, if you photograph several people in the dark with a flash, not everything will turn out clearly.
Disadvantages: I have been using it since August 2015. The camera was bought to replace the similar Nikon Coolpix S6500, during the use of which a drawback was noticed – blurring on the right side of many pictures, and this drawback was not only for me, but also for other people with the same model. The S7000 practically does not have this drawback.

GranLikha Ekaterina


Pluses: Lightweight, compact.
Disadvantages: Below expected quality
Disadvantages: 1. Like other buyers, the battery died after 11 months, as if it were set on a timer. 2. The power button can be triggered when accidentally pressed while the camera is still in the case. 3. The quality of photos is not higher than that of less expensive and older models, albeit from other manufacturers. 4. The quality of photos is noticeably lower than that of a camera with a large lens.

Skidanov Igor


Advantages: Fast work (preparation for shooting, recording the footage in memory) Stylish appearance
Disadvantages: Poor photo quality Disgusting video quality!
Disadvantages: I don't know what happened to the quality in the compact camera segment, but the trend is very frustrating for me. I have a 2005 Sony DSC-S60 digital point-and-shoot camera that shoots better! In Nikon Coolpix S7000 aggressive and at the same time non-disconnectable noise reduction spoils the already not outstanding image quality. The quality of the recorded video is in general some kind of misunderstanding – graininess, eerie noises and excessive noise reduction. As a result, the picture is flat, the colors are distorted. I couldn't believe my eyes … I have only one rational explanation for this. The compact digital camera segment is shrinking from year to year, driven by tough competition from smartphones and their very solid entry-level cameras. In these conditions, the few remaining manufacturers purposefully 'kill' this segment in order to force conservative amateur photographers who do not want to shoot with a smartphone and at the same time get quality, to buy much more expensive compact cameras – mirrorless and compact with a large sensor. But their price is mostly comparable to SLR cameras!
