Quick review

The good: Compact, lightweight, good build quality, easy to use
The bad: Image quality not fantastic, tendency to over-expose, noise issues with ISO bumping
Verdict: It can leave you wanting more on the imaging front, but for those looking for an easy to use snapper, which is light and compact, then the S220 does come at an appealing price
Key specs: 10 megapixels, 3x optical zoom, Li-ion battery, SD, SDHC

I think touch screen in camera doesnt matters and thats what they have proven by launching S220. The camera has all the features required so its nice. One thing must b kept in mind that size and looks o camera doesnt matter too much Posted by Prashant Bansal, India
This doesn't take bad photos at all. Thanks for the review! It's not far off and it's not the best but definitely a great camera for the price. Check out my Flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/nikon-s220-s230-owners-lovers/

You'll see for yourself. I'm able to take some decent photos as well. Posted by Joey Barney, USA

probably the focus motor adjusting the lens as you move it around. If everything is perfectly still it should stop. Posted by big dom, England
