Nikon Nuvis S APS Film Camera

Pros: High Quality, Compact, Versatile
Cons: Not readily available at a discount.

I'm not a photography or camera aficionado but I do appreciate the opportunity to take good pictures, and provide a central point for family histories, conversations, and sharing enjoyable memories with others.

I have always owned two cameras....

Pros: Compact, Durable, great pictures, APS, Easy to use, mid role change
Cons: Larger/heavier than some models, the battery lasts less than a year

I brought the Nuvis S almost a year ago and I carry it around everywhere with me. Since then I have developed over 30 rolls of film, in black and white, colour, panoramic, and classic.

It has a wide range zoom, and uses an easy to find...

Pros: Small, Sturdy, Good lens for camera type, mid roll change.
Cons: Not exactly as compact and easy to carry around as you would think.

If you've come this far and are looking for a compact APS camera, then most likely you've narrowed down your choices to the Nikon Nuvis S and one of the camera's in the Canon ELPH family. The following review will focus on the Nikon camera, it's Pros...

Pros: Sleek, Compact, Efficient APS Camera
Cons: None so far!

I purchased the Nikon Nuvis S APS format camera for a trip my husband and I were taking in December to the Bahamas. After tedious research, I bought the Nikon and have yet to be disappointed. This camera is packed full of exciting, easy to use...

Pros: small, durable
Cons: some uncertainty about the staying power of APS

I saw a picture of the Nuvis S in an airplane catalog and, as a self-admitted gadget junkie, I had to see this camera. I hope to do some foreign travel in the near future and was "in the market" for an upgrade from my Fuji Discover point and...

Pros: Small, compact size; durable case.
Cons: Controls can be hard to manage if you have big hands; price can be high.

This was a total impulse buy. I saw the Nikon Nuvis S in a magazine ad and drove straight to the camera store to see if one was in stock. I was in luck, and I walked out of the store with one of the best APS cameras I've ever used.

One of the...

Pros: Small, Nice Case
Cons: Poor picture quality

I initially purchased this camera due to its small size, construction quality, name brand, and cool looks.

The construction of this camera is excellent. Competing APS models from Minolta and Canon are about the same size as the Nuvis, but are...

Pros: Small, built in case, less prone to red-eye than Elph
Cons: Easy to put your finger in front of lens while taking picture!

I bought a Nikon Nuvis S after I got fed up with the problems of my Canon Elph.

The Elph had several flaws that the Nuvis fixed: the Nuvis is much less prone to red-eye, it doesn't turn itself on accidentally in my pocket, and the flash isn't...

Pros: Compact, stainless steel case, loaded with features, great belt clip holster from Nikon ($20), and new red-eye reduction system
Cons: A bit grainy, but I don't know if it was because of ISO 200 film or 30mm APS format. A bit pricey for all the features...

With my first roll of indoors restaurant pictures, I like the red-eye reduction which didn't do the strobe effect. What it does is give a soft light coming from the camera for a couple of seconds then the flash for the exposure. Flash not as strong as...

Pros: great design, easy to use, compact
Cons: blurry pictures, heavy

I bought my Nikon Nuvis S about 8 months ago. I wanted something small and from a reputable brandname. I looked at the elph but when I was in the store, the salesman showed me how my finger seemed to go over the flash so I deemed it too small. I also...

Pros: Compact, 3 different size photos, easy to use, titles
Cons: craftsmanship

I had this camera about 9 months when "halos" started forming around light colored objects. There was a small light leak and I had never dropped the camera. I loved this camera and took very good care of it. It was very easy to use, super compact, and...
