Nikon Coolpix S7000 Wi-Fi Digital Camera (Renewed)

I bought this item to be used on trips and outings where we did not want to bring our large professional camera. I was happy with the picture quality and the different modes, considering it was a box camera. However, after only 4 months of use the camera started to malfunction and the image is constantly shaking. The camera was not damaged in any way, we put it away any time we arent using it and as a photographer I have 4-5 professional cameras at the house most of the time and none of them have this issue. I thought the "refurbished" was true but apparently it was not. This camera was probably used 5-6 times before this malfunction occurred and has essentially made the camera useless. The warranty/return period is not long enough to evaluate the camera before it malfunctioned.

I bought this camera last year, and every time Ive needed it for an important occasion, it has failed. It has had warranty service/repair twice now, and still does not work well. I have had it and am returning it. First, about halfway through a European vacation, the camera started giving an error code that the dial was not set securely on a mode setting, although the dial was clicked firmly in place. I would turn and reset the dial and the camera would work. Eventually this fix did not work and the camera was in permanent error mode. I sent it back to Amazon to fix (Amazon has been great). It came back, but then it wouldnt focus properly - pictures were blurry, which happened at am important family occasion. So then I had to send it to Nikon for repair, and pay to ship it. Nikon returned it, I used it again at another important event, and it didnt focus. Each time I had to resort to using my camera phone, which takes good pictures, but then, if I have to use my phone, why buy a camera? As I said, Amazon has been great, and I am returning the camera. This camera is recommended by Consumer Reports, and I have had great Nikon cameras in the past. No more. Im not sure if this camera is just a lemon, or its a dud of a camera model, but I am not going to risk getting photos for important occasions again.

I too could not take pictures indoors that turned out without washing out, color distortion to get purple with the flash I had to turn the red balance all the way up! Would not focus indoors unless it was a bright sunny day even if I turned all the lights on to see if that would help. My old s8000 worked great until my granddaughter got hold of it. It also would not link to the iPad. The new model has bad reviews does anyone know of a good camera? Im out the square trade cost but Amazon was great about making it right!

I wrote to the seller, Classy Outfit, before purchasing in order to get some information, but I never heard back, so thats not good. I went ahead and bought their refurbished unit. Right away there were two times when it displayed a message saying "card read error". It went away if I took out and re-inserted the card, so I kept the camera. Big mistake. The camera started to seriously malfunction a few weeks after the 30-day return period ended. Classy Outfits support ends after 30 days, so now Ive got to return it to Nikon and hope they can fix it. Maybe most refurbished units work better than this, but I wouldnt buy from this seller again.
