    I have experienced my worst days with Nikon S3000. No way to transfer your pics from camera to PC, it throws several errors, i hvae tried it on many OS and PC. Worst part is that there is in built charger in camera, during charging camera gets heated. Again even if u have extra battery u can either use ur camera for photogarphy or charge the battery.

    I Simply Rate this camera Below Average in user friendly and picture Quality. This prodcu is a Question to The NIkon Brand.
