I am looking for a nice camera to take photos at concerts since I'm not allowed to take my Nikon D80 inside concert venues. Does anyone have the Nikon Coolpix S630? If so how is the quality?

The Nikon Coolpix S630  is a compact, inexpensive point-and-shoot camera with a 7X optical zoom lens, image stabilization, and a 2.7" LCD display. There are more than enough compact cameras on the market now, but only a select few pack this much zoom power. Other notable features include scene auto selection, a sports continuous mode that shoots at 11 fps (at 3 Megapixel), and enhanced face, smile, and blink detection.

The Coolpix S630 has an average bundle. Here's what you'll find inside its box:

• The 12.0 effective Megapixel Nikon Coolpix S630 digital camera
• EN-EL12 lithium-ion rechargeable battery
• Battery charger
• Wrist strap
• USB cable
• A/V cable
• CD-ROM featuring Nikon Software Suite
• 163 page camera manual (printed)

Like most cameras these days, the Coolpix S630 has built-in memory, instead of having a memory card included in the box. The S630 has 44MB of built-in memory which, while a little above average, still doesn't hold many high quality photos (seven, to be exact). That means that you'll want to buy a memory card right away. The Coolpix S630 supports SD and SDHC cards, and I recommend a 2GB card to start with. While buying a "high speed" card isn't a bad idea, you certainly don't need to go overboard. The Coolpix S630 uses the EN-EL12 lithium-ion battery. This battery packs 3.9 Wh of energy into its plastic shell, which is average for cameras in this class.
There are several software products included with the Coolpix S630. The first is Nikon Transfer, which you'll use to transfer photos from the camera to your Mac or PC. You select which photos are to be transferred, where they're going (and whether you want a backup), and you're done. You can also upload photos directly to Nikon's My Picturetown online photo sharing service using this software

Also included with the camera is ArcSoft's Panorama Maker software. You can use this to stitch together several photos into a single panoramic image. Using the S630's panorama assist mode will help ensure that everything's lined up properly.

Nikon includes a detailed and fairly easy-to-read manual with the Coolpix S630. It should answer any question you may have about the camera, without requiring too much work on your part. Documentation for the software bundle is installed onto your computer.

The main attraction of this camera is it offers some extra zoom in a small body. Picture quality is good and I found the camera very easy to use. You also have access to image stabilisation and a 2.7 inch LCD screen.”
