I recently found my old Nikon Coolpix S225 Camera, and took it with me on a trip to my girlfriend to test it out and check what kinds of modes it has and what kind of pictures it can take. These are the result of that trip.
I found that out of all the different scene modes, the Landscape mode works best for taking good quality pictures while outside. The low-light performance was a bit lacking, and the night mode improved this a bit, but not much. The macro mode did not really add a lot in my opinion, but the pictures taken with that mode did turn out pretty good. I also like the little date time you can add to the bottom of the picture.
All the pictures I took were in the highest quality (10M* on the camera), but for showing here I scaled all them down with the convert "testingnikon/*.JPG[500x]" -set filename:base "%[basename]" "testingnikon-converted/%[filename:base].JPG"
command.
