How to select the right Nikon Coolpix cameraThe S series Fashion-conscious users should take to the S series point-and-shoots. Not only do they look sleek and classy, these cameras are generally good performers. Nikon said the retro-boxy design is "unique and superior", and we'd like to add that the brushed metal casing adds to the overall charm. The S series snappers are priced at a slight premium, though this is probably due to the use of quality materials. Price range: S$349 (US$256.95) to S$649 (US$477.83) In this series
Nikon Coolpix S710 This shooter is a powerhouse packed into a compact body. The S710 features a 14.5-megapixel sensor, 28mm wide-angle lens and 3-inch LCD. Advanced shutterbugs will be pleased with the array of shooting modes available, from manual exposure option to full auto mode, so anyone can snap decent shots with this camera.

Nikon Coolpix S60 The S60 is Nikon's first attempt at a touchscreen camera, and it has . The shooter has only the power and shutter buttons, and the rest of the operations are conducted via the large 3.5-inch display. This Nikon point-and-shoot also incorporates some nifty features such as the iPhone-like image viewer in playback mode. 
Nikon Coolpix S52/S52c If you want to share pictures with friends the moment you snap, the S52c would be suitable with its onboard Wi-Fi connectivity option (the S52 is the non-wireless option). Transmitting of images to Nikon's myPicturetown gallery can be done via a wireless hotspot. Other related models: S51 and S51c 
Nikon Coolpix S9 This single-digit lineup is the first iteration of the S-series. We see it as the base for which the latest models were built on. This lineup has gone a long way in paving the path for the S-series since conception. It may not tout spectacular features, but its looks still distinguish it from the rest of the pack. Nikon told us it is no longer producing the single-digit series, so you may have to hunt around for a brand-new piece. Tags: DSLR, IBM pSeries, Imaging, Camera, Nikon Corp. |
