At first I was going to believe all the naysayers here and take it back. The first shot looked grainy so I was kind of depressed, I had thought I made a good purchase. BUT LO AND BEHOLD! I read the users manual. I went to Nikon\\\'s website and read HOW TO take a picture. And guess what. This thing does take some very nice pictures. The problem is, you have to set it up right. If you take pictures at night with Very High ISO, they will look grainy with a flash, and they will look good w/o a flash, If you use a flash turn the ISO down to 400ish. Anyways, I wanted to put the kebosh to some of the negative comments. Its a great camera for 100 dollars. I bought mine from a pawn shop for 80 dollars.

Both had a lens error within three months of owning them, which is supposedly due to \"impact.\" I had never dropped either cameras and Nikon\'s costumer service is beyond rude and unhelpful. I have never had such a bad experience with any piece of technology. Stay away. I\’ve owned two.

I\'ve had one for about six months and the interior parts recently cracked and bled the LCD screen. Not covered under warranty and it would cost $107 to repair. What a joke! Never buying a NIkon again. Too bad Nikon won\'t stand by its work. The S220 is nice at first with the cheap price and light weight design, but it breaks down very easily.

There would probably be a blur if I tried to take a picture of a snail...even in sports mode. I have missed alot of great pictures with this camera...I will never buy another one. I hate this camera.

Check out my Flickr group that shows the photos other Nikon S220 owners have taken: http://www.flickr.com/groups/nikon-s220-s230-owners-lovers/ It takes great photos! Sometimes you might need to set the ISO to 80 manually, or something in that range but automatic settings generally work fine.

The focusing of the objects around the main subject is really poor, and it seems to be impossible to obtain a decent sharpness in any conditions (outdoors, indoors, nightshots), even working with the scene options and the ISO levels. For hanisha: the grainy spots you see is the "noise", produced when the camera uses high ISO levels to compensate the poor lighting of the scene. If You use fixed 80, 100 or 200 ISO when night-shooting, You'll get better results. Otherwise, the noise will appear, adding a worst look to your pictures (adding the very low levels of sharpness, the files are suitable to upload and screen-viewing but not for medium size prints). *P.s. sorry if I make any mistakes, english is not my native language and this text includes some technical stuff that I-m not used to.
