Quick Take
Used compact action cameras are a mixed bag. At one end, a Nikon COOLPIX S6200 in pink asks $199.99; at the other, a Kodak PIXPRO FZ152 with a broken flash sits at $28.41. The choice comes down to how much resolution and zoom matter versus how much you want to spend. All four cameras are used, so condition notes matter as much as specs. The two Nikon S6200 models offer 16MP and 10x optical zoom at very different prices. The Olympus FE-310 keeps things simple with AA batteries and 8MP, while the Kodak adds 720p video recording but has a flash that does not work.

Product Notes
Nikon COOLPIX S6200 CCD Digital Camera 16.0MP 10x Optical Zoom Pink Auto Focus
The pink Nikon S6200 is the highest-priced option at $199.99. It packs 16MP resolution, a 10x optical zoom, and a 4x digital zoom, plus lens-shift image stabilization, face detection, and smile detection. It connects via HDMI and USB, runs on a lithium-ion battery, and includes a tripod thread. The pink body is the defining color here, so it works if you want a camera that stands out. The main limitation is the price: this is the most expensive camera in this group, and the pink finish will not suit everyone. If you want the widest feature set and are willing to pay for it, this Nikon gives you the most to work with.
Nikon COOLPIX S6200 Digital Camera 16MP 10x Optical Zoom Silver
The silver S6200 shares the same core 16MP sensor and 10x optical zoom as the pink version, but it costs $159.99 and adds a few extras. A charger is included, the body is silver, and its features include touch screen, HDR, noise reduction, and 1080i HD video recording. It also has 4x digital zoom, USB and HDMI connectivity, and a lithium-ion battery. The trade-off is that it remains a higher-priced used camera, and the silver finish is less distinctive than the pink version. If you prefer a more understated color and want a charger with the camera, this is the Nikon to choose.
Olympus FE-310 8mp 5x Optical Zoom Silver Digital Camera Tested Works
The Olympus FE-310 is a compact silver camera with an 8MP sensor, 5x optical zoom, and 5x digital zoom. It runs on AA batteries, which are not included, so you will need to supply your own. The camera is described as tested and working, but the description also notes some scratches, a missing rubber tab near the battery compartment, and a missing rubber tab over the AV port. At $32.00, it sits in the lower price range, making it a sensible choice if you want a simple used camera without a big investment. Just keep in mind the lower resolution and the cosmetic wear described.
Kodak PIXPRO FZ152 CCD Compact Digital Camera - Black - Used-* FLASH NOT WORKING
The Kodak PIXPRO FZ152 is the least expensive option at $28.41. It has a 4x digital zoom, lithium-ion battery, USB connectivity, and features like face detection, image stabilization, HDR, autofocus, and 720p HD video recording. The title is clear that the flash is not working, and the description adds that there is light cosmetic wear. That makes it a tough pick if you rely on built-in flash for low-light shots. But if flash is not part of your normal shooting and you want the lowest price in this group, the Kodak gives you a compact body with video recording and a small footprint. Be comfortable with the flash limitation before committing.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
If you want the broadest feature set and are comfortable with the highest price, the pink Nikon COOLPIX S6200 is the strongest choice. It combines 16MP, 10x optical zoom, image stabilization, and face detection in one body.
If you prefer a silver finish and want a charger included, the silver Nikon COOLPIX S6200 delivers the same core zoom and resolution while costing less than the pink version.
If you want a lower-priced, straightforward camera that runs on AA batteries, the Olympus FE-310 is the more practical pick. Be ready for 8MP resolution and the cosmetic wear described.
If you want to spend the least and can live without a working flash, the Kodak PIXPRO FZ152 is the entry point. It keeps the price very low while still offering 720p video and a lithium-ion battery.
No single camera wins for everyone. Match the condition notes and the feature list to your own shooting habits, and the right compact action camera becomes clear.
