I expected more from a Nikon. Love the size and the touch screen. No problems in daylight, but I cannot take pictures in dim lighting or at night! So frustrating!

Great Camera, few problems
I got this camera S4000, for last Christmas. Abolsutely loved it! Great, sharp photos and nice videos. Nice features (ex- sunset, snow, fireworks, ocean, portrait, up-close). Really helped me out with creating music videos, and excellent sports setting. Took many softball in-actions pictures for my team..worked well for that. Takes very nice up-close photos of flowers, nature, etc. Amazing portaits (full body pictures). Although I ran into a few problems. Sometimes I would just be starting a video and the screen would flash up saying "Card could not be read". And then it would stop. Other people have had that problem. Tried many different cards, same problem. Other than that, GREAT camera! I dropped it once and then lens smashed in, inoperative. Getting a new one! Repair is expensive. I recommend for anybody! Thin for vacations and traveling.

Best compact I ever had!
I bought my first Nikon S4000 in April 2010- I took thousands of clear, sharp, great pictures-then in Oct 2011, it just stopped working. The camera would not turn on. I was assured by Nikon that the life of a $150 camera is about this long, when used alot. I agree, I've had lots of other brands & they only lasted this long. It was still disappointing, but I will buy another! LOVED IT!!!! It never let me down- until Oct. of course.
November 16, 2011
Good pictures, but camera did not last long.
I bought this camera just before my vacation and 3 weeks into my trip across the United States the camera developed a dark spot on the pictures and the viewing screen therefore I had to borrow a camera for the rest of my trip.
October 12, 2011
potentially great p&s flawed by poor usb connector
Took great pictures for a few months, then the onboard usb connector failed and is not covered by Nikon's warranty, so camera is essentially useless. ($85+ repair).

Answer:
Pictures taken are recorded as images files. The size of the files and with it the number of images that can be recorded, depends on the size and quality of the images. Before shooting, choose an image mode according to how you plan to use the picture. See page # 49 of the User’s Manual.Ex. If you have the Image Mode set to 12M you can only record 5 pictures in the internal memory. If you set it for 3M you can record 46 pictures. Internal memory is approximate 45MB. Also make sure that you are using an approved memory card.

Camera was working fine. Took last picture & put camera in pocket. Heard wierd sound. Next attempt at picture, camera will not focus at all any more.
Camera worked fine for a few months. Am frustrated with searching for answer to problem in the 169+ pages of manual. I take thousands of photos every year. Is there a simple way to reset defaults? Why will it no longer focus on anything? NOTE: I'm aware of electromagnetic aspect of camera. It stopped working near ocean on Maui shortly after recent Tsunami surge. Could that be a clue?

Also, make sure that you are using a memory card with the camera. The internal memory is only 45MB and the video won't go longer than 18 seconds.
The pictures will not focus and there is delays when trying to take pictures. I cannot seem to get the camera correct.
