Wondering if anyone has used this Nikon " Coolpix" S31 . My old Kodak Easy Share C1013 ( 10.3 mega pixels ) bit the dust and I just picked up the Nikon . I'm really a low level photog at the best of times so I bought it for occasional family/dog/mrring pics .
Anyone used this camera ? Comments ? T

My Kodak C913 bit the dust also. I ended up with a Nikon S3000, 12 Mp and 4X zoom. I think it was less than $50 shipped. Like you, I'm very low level on pictures. Works for me just like I want.

I use a Coolpix L24, 14 Megapixel / 3.6X zoom. I have to be careful about what the camera focuses on. I make sure that the subject of the photo is in the exact center, as that seems to be what the camera uses for the auto focus.

That and the flash isn't always crazy about acting right.

My only problem is , not with the camera , but resizing the photos to post them on this Forum . Sure wish I had my old XP instead of WIN 8.

I know what you mean. It drives me nuts too. I just kept working with it until I figured it out.

Click on the photo thumbnail. In the next screen you'll see the photo. To the right of it are a series of options. Scroll down and click on the IMG option (not the IMG thumbnail option though) and you'll see it light up for a second and you'll see 'Copied' flash for a second. Then come here and right-click and click paste or you can press Ctrl-V on your keyboard. That will paste the photo IMG tag line here. You can do this with as many photos as you desire. When you're done click 'Submit' and your photos will be posted.

I think that photobucket automatically re-sizes them for posting here. I re-size only the ones which I place in the Gallery here, and they're from my computer, not photobucket.
