Nikon COOLPIX S33 Waterproof Digital Camera (White) (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Please do not buy this camera.....I purchased it as a present for my 16 year old daughter. She used it a few times in our pool after which we noticed water filling up inside the camera. I spoke with Nikon customer services who had me send the camera for repair under the warranty at my expense for shipping. I was shocked to receive an email back stating that water damage is not covered under the warranty. This is deceptive advertising in my opinion. Upon speaking with a Nikon customer service representative, I was told I would need to pay $260 for a replacement (which is listed currently at $129.00 on Amazon). The total life of this camera was just over four weeks. I cannot believe that Nikon would not stand by a clearly defective product. Equally surprising is that the warranty does not cover water damage on a "waterproof" camera. I certainly will never be a repeat Nikon customer.

I wish I had read more of the one-star reviews. I used this camera last week ONCE, on vacation, and after one underwater session, the shutter button will not work. I am going to try to return it, but Im afraid Amazon is going to try to force me to have it REPAIRED instead. This was a VERY expensive, virtually DISPOSABLE underwater camera. SO DISAPPOINTED, because the pictures it took were great. I have never had anything I purchased on Amazon.com perform this poorly.
