Well I like:
- I love the rich purple color, the white leaf ornaments do the rest. This camera is telling us with every fiber and lens: Yes, I am a camera for girls and proud of it. ;-) The build quality is good imho: Front metal was used back plastic. The rear display has a good reproduction quality
- Succeed with the camera good photo shots, which I would advise to use only half of the optical zoom, everything else makes pixels cake photos. Anyway, I'm thrilled with the video function, especially from clay, which is really very classy. I would have at a cam in this price segment is not expected
- The camera has a small but nice number of postprocessing filter (paintings, posterization, portrait with soft focus, fisheye, star effect, Miniature Effect)
- 16 different scene options, Scene Auto Selector, Blur or smart portrait mode, so plenty of opportunities at the right situation to be able to choose the correct setting
Unfortunately, no small drawback:
The camera is in my opinion in many respects a little slow. Fast (!) Shots out of the situation I could not shoot with her anyway. The zoom function is sometimes a little stubborn in the execution, seis the RAN or out, as the on / off button. Will you look after photographing view an image immediately says first, "Please wait for the camera to finish".
Summary: I think the camera okay, it makes good pictures within their means and the video also succeed wonderfully. Alone in appearance ye your girls conquer with this unit in the storm, it is, I guess, pretty well the first camera to be warm with the matter of photography. Because of the criticisms I give her 3 stars. The Nikon Coolpix S2900 is an average good camera, no more and no less.
