Well here we were shopping in one of those huge big box shopping emporiums that sell everything and are out to make you buy things you do not need. Well I did.
They had a display of these cute and adorable little purple Nikon Coolpix S3500, so what did I do? Put it in my cart and bought it. OK now you can all laugh, my husband did. But my justifiction is that I carry a small purse. I do not like taking cell phone pictures unless necessary. I used to have a smallish Canon that was too big to carry, so this cute little purple camera slides nicely in my bag is smaller than my phone and is pretty. I have not had it long enough to really do much with it except to try to get cats and dogs and butterflies to stay in one place. Comments welcome.

I was thinking of buying this camera for my adult Son for Christmas.His Son ,our Grandson plays soccer,would he be able to get some good shots? Would the zoom be enough?

Sorry to take so long to reply. I have not put any shots from this camera on my computer yet, I wanted to get a good variety to compare. From what I can tell so far, it is nice and easy to use, the small size is hard to get used to. From what I have seen on the screen the zoom is not that great, but you have 20 mega pixels to play with. It depends on what he wants to use it for, but it is fun and easy. I may send results when I get any!
Regards,
Wendy

They don't take a lot of family photos & always use their phones to take photos but my grandson plays soccer & I was hoping it would be ok for that but I bet not?

No from what I have seen I don't think he will get much out of it sor soccer, unless the team are standing still and up close!
