If you want to save the detailed evaluation, the is here succinctly said that almost everything we had to complain about at the Ricoh, is implemented by the Nikon S33 better.
The camera is supplied with a clear Quick Start Guide. To recharge the battery you must not remove, only the cover of the battery / memory card compartment to be opened. Here is the USB connector for the AC adapter. The camera was the way with a 16 GB SDHC used (not included). We recommend the following memory cards: SD, SDHC and SDXC.
Commissioning took even my five year old daughter 'baby just'. Where she is right, she's right. Well here I found the warnings, how the camera is to be treated to keep them waterproof.
Switch and triggers are well delineated. Screen and lens could be better protected. Here is definitely caution should be exercised when used on the camera views on the pool edge.
We have the Nikon in White, but who wants to mainly use underwater camera, should perhaps opt for a more vivid color. Pink and yellow are definitely the better choice, but the camera should once 'drown' by mistake. Lively colors are found on sandy seabed again faster. I definitely recommend to attach the wrist strap, with wet fingers or medicated cream you just on the front of the camera not so much grip.
Our daughter can operate the camera without any problems. The menu is very clear and easy to understand. There are some funny image programs of neon signs on comic style to 'a bubble Add'.

Here you have several options that you can play around. Who tends to chubby cheeks, it can be equal to retouch '
The picture quality of recordings is mostly good. Only in the close-ups, I had some bad pictures here. Well, I think that there is a separate button in the top left for video recording.
The Nikon is water resistant to 10 meters depth 'for snorkelling and swimming pool pictures it satisfies all. Who wants to shoot detailed images diving, should possibly opt for a different model, which is designed for up to 30 meters depth.
Conclusion: I am very excited about this summer holiday beach-clippers. Both above and under water makes the S33 a good figure. The operation is very easy, the camera is rugged and waterproof. Kids can have fun with the clippers. However, not only the '
Anyone looking for a clean an underwater camera, is operated safely better with other models' but then also have to pay three times more. Who is looking for an easy-to-use holiday Family camera that also participates wild pool water fights, I can put the Nikon Coolpix S33 only warmly recommend!
