Good camera for price, refurb didn't work out
The camera was good quality, and as a semi-experienced camera user it was 'easy' to use. I bought a refurb since they were no longer selling the camera and had to send it back because the lens would often times malfunction and not allow the camera to turn on. I am going to buy a different camera to replace it. Overall, my problem is not with the actual quality of the camera but the fact that it didn't work because of being refurbished.
Don't buy
I brought this camera it take great picture but the flash and the lens keep getting stuck.

Wonderful review! Very helpful indeed. I am thinking of getting a new point and shoot camera and I can’t decide what to get between the Nikon Coolpix S8000 and Canon Powershot S95. I will definitely consider your review and I hope I won’t regret my purchase! Thanks!
